The traditional name for the group accompanying a quinceañera in formal ceremonies is the court of honor.
A court of honor commonly consists of friends or relatives selected by the celebrant. Depending on regional and family customs, it may include young women known as damas and young men known as chambelanes. Members often participate in the entrance, formal portraits, and choreographed dances.
The size and composition of the court are not fixed. Some celebrations use a large group, while others include only a few attendants or none at all. Contemporary families may also choose a mixed-gender group based on friendships rather than traditional roles.
The expression court of honor is ceremonial language. It does not indicate a legal body or an official civic organization; it describes the attendants who help give the celebration its formal presentation.
