The traditional quinceañera court that includes the celebrant’s attendants is called the court of honor.
The court of honor accompanies the quinceañera during formal parts of the celebration. Its members may participate in the entrance, presentation, choreographed waltz, photographs, and other ceremonial moments. In Spanish-language usage, the group may be described through terms such as damas and chambelanes.
The court is often composed of friends, siblings, cousins, or other young people selected by the celebrant and her family. There is no universal required number of members, and modern celebrations may use a small group, a mixed-gender group, or no formal court at all.
The court of honor is sometimes called a bridal party by analogy, but a quinceañera is not a wedding. The participants do not have the same legal or marital roles as bridesmaids and groomsmen. Their purpose is ceremonial and social: they support the celebrant and help present the planned traditions to guests.
