What is the usual Spanish term for the group of attendants at a quinceañera?

The usual Spanish term for a quinceañera’s group of attendants is corte de honor.

The phrase translates as “court of honor.” Members are commonly close friends, siblings, or relatives selected by the celebrant and family. Depending on regional custom, the court may include young women called damas and young men called chambelanes.

The court may enter formally, stand with the celebrant, and participate in a choreographed dance. Its size and composition are flexible rather than fixed. Some modern quinceañeras use a small group, a mixed-gender group, or no court at all. The term therefore identifies a traditional role, not a required part of every party.

Corte de honor can be confused with the entire guest list. Guests attend the celebration, while the court has ceremonial duties and usually rehearses in advance. English speakers may also encounter “quince court” as a direct translation.
