We may have an advertising relationship with the stores we link to in this post. Thank you!

If you are planning a quinceanera, you may be looking for quinceanera recuerdos, or party favors for your guests. When looking for favors, consider your quinceanera theme, color scheme, and pricing per favor. Think about your guests, and what you think would be a nice treat for them to receive.

We put this list together to give you some ideas to get started on your search for quinceanera recuerdos.

Quinceanera Recuerdos Ideas

Candy

This is one of our favorite ideas for favors. Everyone loves candy, and there are so many pretty and unique options available. You can even create custom options, with personalized packaging.

Another idea for quinceanera favors– a candy buffet.  The candy buffet is always seriously fun for the guests, and if you provide small favor boxes or bags, it can certainly have a double purpose: as favors! For tips on how to design a candy buffet—> click here~

Candles

Candles are a useful and traditional option for quinceanera recuerdos.

Coasters

Coasters are an elegant option for a quince favor. There are even some coasters available that you can personalize/ insert a picture.

DIY Treats

If you are trying to save money but still impress, consider DIY party favors. They can be a lot of work, but guests LOVE homemade, edible favors. Some ideas: s’mores kits and chocolate dipped marshmallows.

We made chocolate-dipped marshmallows for a quince before. Not only were they a huge hit, but we spent $60 or less on them! That’s less than $1/favor, because we made at least 110 favor bags~

It is somewhat labor intensive, because we put 5 marshmallows in each bag. So gather up your supplies and some help, so that you aren’t dipping hundreds of marshmallows on your own! 

**We recommend making them 2-3 days in advance. You want them to be fresh but you don’t want to wait until the last minute.

Chocolate-dipped marshmallows instructions

Supplies needed:

* Marshmallows, standard size, flavor of your choice, enough for 5 per guest

* Candy melts, flavor of your choice

* Sprinkles/tiny nonpareil candy decorations (optional)

* Favor bags, with ties

* Scrapbook paper, “thank you” stamp or sticker, hole punch

Steps

 

1. Melt candy melts according to instructions on package. Once the melts are ready, drizzle chocolate on the marshmallows, over the pan (or wherever you have the melted candy).  You could also dip the marshmallows partially in the candy, or do a combination of both techniques! Place marshmallows on baking sheet lined with wax paper.

 

2. If you want to add sprinkles or other candies to your marshmallows, add it to the marshmallows before the candy dries.

 

3. Once the marshmallows are dried, you can package them. 5 per package is what we did, and we liked the outcome, and felt like it was enough.

 

4. To make our thank you tags, we cut out small squares of scrapbook paper, and stamped each one with a “Thank you” stamp. Then we punched a hole in the tag. You could also probably find “thank you” tags already made.

 

5. Insert tie through the tag, and secure on bag. At your quince, you can set out one favor at each place setting.

 

The process is not difficult, but the more people you have to help, the better! If you are making 100 favors, that’s about 500 dipped marshmallows. We advise you to be very organized, arrange some helpers (damas?) and you should be able to knock this project out in an afternoon. Inexpensive favors that guests will LOVE!

Rosary

A rosary is a beautiful, meaningful gift to give at your quince. There are many different styles available, and they are usually available in sets of 12 or more.

Faith Seeds

This is a unique idea that will be amazing for quinceanera favors. Faith seeds are flower seeds to be planted, and they are in the shape of a cross. The product below can be customized with the name of the quinceanera.

Seasonal Fruit

We like this option because it is simple and people usually love fruit. Shine up apples and place one at each place setting. Or, make fruit kebabs and pass out to guests as they leave.
