What Spanish term is used for the quinceañera’s court of honor?

The Spanish term for the quinceañera’s court of honor is corte de honor.

The corte de honor is the group that accompanies the celebrant during formal parts of the celebration. It commonly includes damas and male attendants, who may participate in the entrance, photographs, presentations, and choreographed dances.

The court’s size and makeup are not fixed. Some traditional celebrations use a relatively large group, while contemporary families may invite only a few close friends or replace the court with a family-centered presentation.

Corte de honor should not be confused with the reception table or a group of sponsors. It specifically identifies the ceremonial attendants. Regional vocabulary can differ, but this Spanish phrase is widely used for the formal court associated with a quinceañera.
