This is based on a Maya tradition and it is related to the birthday girl’s receipt and renouncement of the doll. It makes reference to the last such toy in her life since, after the Quinceañera event, the girl is now coming closer to adult life and eventually to marriage.

Choosing a court for your Quinceanera; coed, just boys, or go at it solo?
The tradition of a Quinceanera ‘s court has always been to have 14 young men and 14 young Ladies as your court of honor. Most recently that has been cut down to 7 and 7. I generally tell my Clients that there is no rule about the court size. A Quinceanera should ask themselves the following questions before choosing the number or the type of court they will have on that day.
