My daughter was invited to a quincieneŕa recently, which is basically the Hispanic equivalent to sweet 16 but at age 15. I’ve always heard it’s a huge deal but good God I’m starting to think I should take back my daughter’s RSVP because the requests made by the girl and her parents are Bridezilla level. They’ve demanded that the female guests wear navy blue dresses and white shoes. Guests were also required to participate in a rehearsal dance.
At the rehearsal dance my daughter was miserable because refreshments weren’t provided and she hates wearing dresses. She was later contacted that her friend’s parents were unhappy with the rehearsal and want more rehearsals before the actual party. Plus at the rehearsal the siblings of the friend glared at my daughter the whole time and made her feel unwelcome.
We aren’t made of money so buying these ridiculous demands for attire put us in the hole. The friend’s mother wanted us to buy a much more expensive dress though that was $200!!! I’m not sure if this is all coming from her family and she’s just letting them dictate her party or if she’s part of the problem but I’m damn near close to suggesting to my daughter that she shouldn’t go. But I am sure she’d think im an asshole for it. What would you suggest? I really think this party is going way overboard and actually making guests feel like shit.
