On her 18th birthday, a Filipino girl customarily throws a large party, complete with her own hand-picked entourage of 18 individuals or multiple sets of 18. The celebrant's court usually wears a formal dress, such as the Barong Tagalog or the western black tie.
Program[edit]
A typical ceremony begins with a short prayer invoking blessings upon the debutante. She then enters, and performs traditional dances with her court for their guests. The most important one is known as the 'Grand Cotillion Dance', usually a waltz.
An '18 Roses Dance' is also done, in which 18 males of the debutante's choice dance with her after presenting her with a single red rose or her favourite flower. This dance is almost always preceded or concluded with a 'Father and Daughter Dance', and sometimes the father takes the place of the 18th rose (who is often the girl's significant other). An older male relative, such as a grandfather, may take the father's place if the latter is unavailable or deceased.
The debutante also has 18 'candles', presented by female friends or relations. Each delivers a short speech about her relationship with the celebrant and any special greeting, and lights a candle that is either in her hand or placed in a stand.
Music and other performances are usually interspersed between the '18 items' rites, while dinner and sometimes alcohol are served. A birthday cake ceremony often occurs, and a fireworks display may conclude more extravagant parties. The night ends with the debutante's speech, in which she shares her thoughts on life and extends her gratitude towards her guests.
Other '18 items'[edit]
Recent additions to the ceremony are the '18 Treasures', in which 18 individuals each present the debutante with a gift. These usually also involve a speech from each individual, but unlike the Roses and Candles sets, these groups are of mixed gender.
Others involve material presents for the debutante, such as the 18 shoes and the 18 bills. A 'blue bill' in the context of this ceremony refers to the Philippine one thousand peso note, which is blue.

- Custom cards are nice, but can get very costly. To thwart costs, you can pick up an invitation kit from your local Target or Walmart in the party supply section. A kit can have 20-40 pairs of both a blank invitation cards and thank you cards and envelopes. To give your invites a more professional touch, purchase some vellum from an arts and crafts store, usually about a dollar depending on the design or texture.
- If you don't already own one, get a single hole puncher. You will hole punch the invites and the vellum, and tie the two with a ribbon. Ribbon color will be based on your theme and motif. Instead of printing directly on to the card, you will print on to the vellum. Do a test print on ordinary paper before you start cutting your vellum.
- On the invite include the name of the celebrant, date, venue, your royal court, RSVP, theme if you have one. Some relatives, may live far, so include directions on a separate insert. If you have RSVP cards, include postage on a self-addressed envelope.
