Many quinceañera guest lists are bilingual: abuelos who prefer Spanish, school friends who read English, and padrinos who speak a bit of both. Here’s wording you can copy, side by side, for every part of the invitation.
Opening lines
Formal / religious
EN: With the blessing of God and the love of our family, we invite you to celebrate the fifteen years of our daughter, [Name].

Bilingual or two invitations?
If most guests read both languages, put Spanish first and English right below (or the other way around) — it feels warm and inclusive. If the lists are clearly split, create the invitation in one language and paste the other language’s key lines (date, place, RSVP) in the description.
