No difference. I was somewhat surprised to find that there really don't seen to be too many synonyms to "congratulations" in English. In any event, both Felicitaciones and Enhorabuena mean "congratulations".

According to this dictionary felicitaciones is used in Latin America for congratulations so perhaps enhorabuena is more common in Spain? Hopefully a local will come along and confirm or deny je je as that's just a guess

To me, "enhorabuena" is a bit stiffer, more formal than the everyday felicitaciones. - Gekkosan, Nov 25, 2011
