This is a BIG event in the Mexican community.  Think of it as the equivalent of a coming out ball or event for a debutant.  Many Mexican families go to great lengths to make the Quinceaños memorable for their daughters.  Many girls get a big party and dress formally as though they are going to a prom.

Of course it’s about more than just gowns, tiaras and presents.  One way you can commemorate a girl’s Quinceaños is to get her a Quinceanera cross engraved with her birthday and name.  This is a gift that she can forever cherish as she continues to grow into the woman she is meant to be.
