Skip the Salon
Your daughter and her friends want to look perfect for the big day, but a lot of hair, makeup, and nail treatments can be done less expensively than at a salon. One idea is to go to a local cosmetology school to get discounted services. Otherwise, enlist a particularly talented friend or relative to help with hair or makeup for getting ready, saving you hundreds in salon costs.DIY Decorations
Instead of flowers, choose balloons or photographs to decorate the party. The dollar store offers many creative and inexpensive decorations and you can search on Pinterest.com for easy DIY crafts to make with them. Enlist relatives to help create custom quinceañera decorations and even put together favors for your guests.
Frugal Food
Make handmade food choices instead of catering. Traditional dishes will go over better with your guests, anyway! You can also choose to have multiple smaller cakes or cupcakes instead of just one big one to save a little money. Another popular choice is to serve multiple appetizers instead of a sit-down dinner. Plated meals will oftentimes blow the budget so simpler food choices can reduce the cost of your daughter's quinceañera dramatically.As your daughter celebrates her very special fifteenth birthday, it can be tempting to spend a lot to have her every wish granted.
