The honoree’s attendants or ceremonial court in a quinceañera are called the court of honor.
A court of honor is a group selected to accompany the quinceañera during formal parts of the celebration. Depending on the family and country, it may include girls known as damas, boys known as chambelanes, or a mixed group of friends and relatives. The members can participate in the entrance, choreography, photographs, and formal dances.
The court is sometimes compared with a bridal party because both groups have visible ceremonial roles. They are not the same institution, however: a quinceañera is not a wedding, and court members do not serve as wedding attendants by virtue of this title.
The size and composition of the court are flexible. Some modern celebrations use a small group, a mixed-gender group, or no court at all. “Court of honor” is the broad English label, while Spanish-speaking families may use regional terms for individual members.
