We heard all about this when DD’s little friend had her quince’ parties. Two because the parents were divorced. At one point DD was going to be one of her friends’ attendants but then the parents changed the venues. One party was in Chicago and the other in Indy, so she was not in the party after all.
DD’s other friends around that age were shocked that DD had bought a pair of high heels. “Does your father know? Should we not say anything?”
Before they have their party the girls are not supposed to wear either make up or heels.
Some parts of Hispanic culture, as far as strong family bonds, remind me of how we used to be.

At the party for my friend Rafaela's daughter, the high-heeled shoes were presented by the "First Communion godparents," a non-canonical role which, I theorize, comes from a situation in which First Communion and Confirmation were celebrated at the same time.
