When we have to explain to people not in the know what a Quince is, without getting into all the history and tradition (that could take hours to do it justice!) we pretty much call it a mini-wedding.  So if it’s a mini-wedding, why can’t we incorporate wedding ideas into a Quince?!  The latest wedding favor craze is offering a sweet smorgasbord to your guests. At realsimple.com I found this colorful and yummy party idea:

Instead of a keepsake favor that may got lost or tossed, how about giving your guests a chance to make their own treat bag favor! What a sweet idea! ;p Check out your local Sweet Factory or Costco to price the treats they have available. And if on a budget, try the Dollar Tree.  You can contact them to buy brand name candies in bulk at deep discounts! They also sell party supplies, wedding stuff, and tons of other things you may need! 

Finally, it’s coming back!  

The Latino Bridal & Quince Girl Expo is on its way to California!  

You can drown yourself in all things Quince for five whole hours!  

At just $5 per person, you can bring your whole Court of Honor for a fun weekend excursion!  

Hope to meet you there!

Selena Gomez celebrates her 16th birthday today!  Wonder what her Quince was like last year, better yet who would have been in her Court de Honor…Demi Lovato or Miley Cyrus…or both?! Drama! One thing’s for sure, girl’s got style. Take the cue from this Tween Queen and check out her latest loose hairstyles. Which one is your favorite?

Straight, rocker chic…

Casual, beach waves… 

 Hollywood glamour girl…

 Young and fresh updo…

Isn’t she just drop dead gorgeous?! That skin! I’m jealous!

I am obsessed with the DollarTree! Last July I used these awesome tin mini pail favor containers for a cousin’s Wedding Shower.  I bought some cute printed ribbons and cup cake paper liners that coordinated with the theme colors then filled them with bright jelly beans.  They were super cute and were an absolute hit.  Of course you can fill them with just about anything you can think of! 

 $1/3 pk, also sold in a bulk case of 72 pks

 p.s. If I remember, I will try and recreate the favor I did as a visual.
