What is the group of attendants at a quinceañera commonly called?

The group of attendants at a quinceañera is commonly called the court of honor.

A court of honor usually consists of friends and relatives selected by the quinceañera and her family. Members may participate in the entrance, formal photographs, choreographed dances, and other parts of the reception. Traditionally, the court can include young women called damas and young men called chambelanes.

The size and composition of the court vary widely. Some celebrations use a large group, while others feature only a few attendants or none at all. Modern families may choose participants without following older gender arrangements.

The term court is ceremonial rather than governmental. It does not mean the event has a legal or official court. The wording reflects the formal presentation style of the celebration, which may include coordinated clothing, an announced entrance, and a dance performed for the assembled guests.
