I need to know if there are any rules or guidelines on deciding on a quinceañera court of honor. Such as: Do they have to be a certain age, do they have to be single or married....because I have some cousins that are like, 20 years old and I am not sure if it is normal to have someone that old on the Court of Honor. Also, if you have any other tips on Quinceañera please do tell, because I need all the help I can get.

The Quinceañera or Quince Años (sometimes represented XV Años, meaning "fifteen years") is, in some Spanish-speaking regions of the Americas, a young woman's celebration of her fifteenth birthday, which is celebrated in a unique and different way from her other birthdays. In some countries, such as Puerto Rico or Peru, the word Quinceañero is used instead of Quinceañera when referring to the celebration.
The word is also used to refer to the young woman whose 15th birthday is being celebrated (analogous to the word cumpleañera for "birthday girl"). The closest equivalents to the Quinceañera in the English-speaking world are the sweet sixteen or, in more affluent communities, a debutante ball at the age of eighteen. In some cases, the birthday girl has a choice of a quinceañera, a trip, or a car.

First: Congratulations on turning 15,
2nd; For this celebration, it helps for the "court" to be the same age as you, 15
C), celebrations are usually planed by the parents so you wouldn't have anything to worry about except on who to invite.
