What is the Spanish name for the quinceañera’s formal escort-and-attendant group?

The Spanish name for a quinceañera’s formal escort-and-attendant group is corte de honor.

Corte de honor means “court of honor.” It refers to the young people who accompany the celebrant during the entrance, ceremonial presentation, photographs, and dances. Depending on the family’s preferences, the court may include both girls and boys, a smaller group of close friends, or no court at all.

The court’s size and titles vary by country and community. Some traditions use separate terms for female attendants and male escorts, while contemporary celebrations often use a mixed group without strict role distinctions. Members may wear coordinated formal clothing.

Corte de honor is not the same as a wedding party, although the two groups can look similar in photographs. It also does not mean every guest at the reception. The phrase identifies the selected attendants who have a formal ceremonial role.
