Choosing a Court of Honor (Damas y Chambelan/Escorte) (7-8 Months Before)

*Deciding on the Court of Honor is the next step.  Your daughter will need an escort and a court of girls and guys to dance with her.  *Important:  Picking out boyfriends as partners can be risky.  What if they break up before the big day?  (This happens all the time!)  It leaves someone without a partner to dance with.  If you do choose to include boyfriends, make sure you have a backup plan if they break up.  Cousins, brothers, etc. 

The safest bet is to pick out really good friends who can commit to the court of honor.  Be aware that damas should be able to purchase a New York damas dress package ranging from $100-$150 in price.  For the guys, a tuxedo rental normally ranges from $100-125 depending on New York tuxedo rental locations.  There are plenty of reasonably priced tuxedo stores in and around New York. 

Choosing the court of honor colors mostly depends upon what the girls and guys decide they can afford according to the colors matching the quinceanera dress.  For damas and chambelanes, you will probably want a color different than your daughter’s dress because she is the princess for that special day and needs to stand out more than anyone else!
