Quinceanera Dress Rentals in Austin and Other Cost-Cutting Tips

 

So you're on a very tight budget?  Here are a few cost-cutting measures for quinceaneras!

 

Backyard BBQ.  This is another great way to save money without sacrificing fun.  Cooking out is a great way for families and friends to celebrate big events like a quince.  You save a lot of money by eliminating the party hall rental and the catering.  Plus, backyard BBQ’s allow families and friends to relax because they feel like they are at home instead of a fancy hall.  Alcohol is much cheaper for the adults.  You can also rent a tent and some tables and chairs and have the dance right there in your back yard!  Some Austin party rental companies rent hardwood flooring so you can dance on it!  A tent and flooring is still much cheaper than renting a party hall or catering your event.  And the best part is that you get to decide when you want the party to end! 

 

Renting quinceanera dresses in Austin.  This can be a great way to save money.  If you are on a tight budget, quinceanera dress rentals in Austin are one way to save big.  Instead of spending $500 on a nice dress, you can rent one starting at $75 from a few dress shops in Austin.  Just call around before going to see if they rent quinceanera dresses.  But be sure you try the dress on before renting it.  And don't rent online!  I have heard many horror stories about this! 

 

Slumber Party.  I’ve talked about this before, but it is a great quinceanera alternative to the traditional party.  You and your friends can go out to a nice dinner and then come back and have a slumber party and play games.  Or you can rent movies or stay up talking all night.  There are so many things you can do to make this fun.  You can turn your living room or basement into a royal castle with a little bit of lighting and a lot of creativity.  You just have to think outside the box!

 

Handmade Invitations.  This is another way to save money.  A little construction paper, some scissors, glue, sparkles, and creativity can go a long way.  Don’t be afraid to try and design your own invitations.  It may take you a few tries, but once you get it right, a homemade quinceanera invitation can outdo a store-bought invitation any day.  People appreciate hard work, especially if you and your daughter are the artists behind it!

 

Get Creative!  Moms, if you want to save money, you have to get creative.  If you only have $2000 to spend, you are going to have to get creative if you want to throw a great party.  But don’t worry!  I have seen some of the best quince parties thrown on tight budgets.  Families and friends always appreciate hard, creative work, especially with quinceanera decorations.  You can turn a backyard into a circus or a castle if you really wanted to.  Its just a matter of sitting down and thinking of fun ways to make people smile and have fun!
