How To Say Gracias Etiquette After the Quinceanera

First of all, we hope your Quinceanera celebration was everything you wanted.

 It's time to "give thanks."

 In matters of etiquette, it's almost always best to act on the side of caution. In other words, if you feel someone might deserve special thanks for their role in your quince anos celebration, there's a good chance you're right.

 There's an even better chance that they think you're right, too. People love recognition for their work, and in a special occasion like a Quinceanera, they like having their efforts commemorated by a few warm words of appreciation.

 Your "Thank You" List should include everyone who helped you put the Quinceanera together. This includes siblings, cousins, godparents, grandparents, and especially padrinos. You should also send thank you cards to the members of your Honor Court, preferably with a photograph of the assembled court together.
