My Sweet 16

Hey everyone! Im planning my sweet 16 for december of next year and I really need some advice. All of my friend`s had their quince`s and I was in most of their courts and now it`s my big day and I`m turning sixteen but, it`s not usually customary in my culture to have a court even though I would really like to. I was wondering does anyone thing it`s really odd if I would do this because I wouldn`t want to insult anyone by taking on part of other people`s beliefs as my own. Anyway, I have a lot of details worked out and I even have everyone chose out if I do decide to have a court but I still need a bit of help. I`m trying to have a cinderella theme since it`s one of my favorite movies. When I decided I wanted this party, I gave up alot because my parents made me decide between this or something else that I wanted so I want this day to be really special! Thanks so much for any imput and any advice would be greatly appricaiated!

I`m not spanish, i`m filipino and i`m having my sweet 16 in june. I`m going to have a court too (flips call it a cotillion though) and no, you`re not going to be stealing anyone`s traditions...but then again, filipinos have a lot of spanish tradicions...don`t worry about it, do whatever you want.
