What is the collective Spanish term for the attendants in a quinceañera’s court?

The collective Spanish term for a quinceañera’s attendants is corte de honor.

Corte de honor translates as “court of honor.” It refers to the group of friends or relatives who accompany the celebrant during formal parts of the event. Members may participate in an entrance procession, a choreographed dance, photographs, or other presentations chosen by the family.

The court’s composition is not identical everywhere. Older descriptions often distinguish a group of girls and boys, while contemporary celebrations may use mixed or gender-inclusive groups. The number of attendants can also vary, so corte de honor is more reliable than a fixed numerical description.

This court is ceremonial rather than governmental or aristocratic. Its name reflects formal pageantry and social honor, not a claim that the celebrant holds a royal title. The court is also separate from adult sponsors, who may provide financial or organizational support.
