Avoid these mistakes in your Quinceañera menu or you will regret it forever

You will be surprised when you reflect on the impact that food has on human beings. Food not only nourishes our body, but also changes our mood. Nobody wants hungry and grumpy guests at their Quinceañera. To ensure that your mom has enough energy to dance all night, that your best friend is satisfied after eating, and that your aunts make your banquet one of the best moments of your Quinceañera, avoid the following mistakes in your Quinceañera menu at all costs. Error #1: Food shortage Although it may seem selfish, all your guests will be waiting for the banquet, whether they have been personally invited or not. Make sure to consider all the guests who confirmed their attendance when they received the invitation and add a few more to your list (at least 10), in case your aunt or friends decide to invite additional people. Remember that if you have leftover food, you can always save it for the next day's lunch. Error #2: Not considering special diets Imagine that you are a vegetarian and that everything being served at the Quinceañera party is meat. You will be starving because you saved your appetite for the party. Avoid your guests going through this situation by offering a great variety of food options at your Quinceañera, in case your godmother is vegetarian or your friend's mother is allergic to shrimp. The last thing you want is to worry about having sick guests at your party or knowing that someone is still hungry. Error #3: Choosing an exotic menu Perhaps your Quinceañera party is above the ordinary and you want to serve an exotic menu that requires an acquired taste. However, keep in mind that you will have very demanding guests at your Quinceañera, and they might be terrified of trying exotic foods. Choose traditional foods that satisfy the majority of palates. We all hate it when food goes to waste. Error #4: Not including dessert If dessert is not on the menu, believe us, people will wonder where the flan, chocolate ice cream, or red velvet cake is. Try to adjust your expenses and include a dessert that is within your budget. Error #5: Forgetting to schedule a food tasting Only hire the services of a professional banquet that you have personally tasted, or that at least has a good reputation among your family and friends. After months of planning and exhaustion, all you will want to do on the day of your Quinceañera party is to enjoy a delicious menu. Make sure to schedule a food tasting appointment before signing a contract with any catering service. Hungry for more tips? Descarga la aplicación de Quinceañera para planear tu fiesta.
