Request to Join Court
I need help writing an invitation. It is specifically for people I want to invite to my 18th birthday debut (like a cotillion or quinceñera) as a member of my court (friends and family that will participate in the celebration, like a wedding party, i.e. bridesmaids, etc). I don't know how to phrase it.
"Would you do me the honor of joining me at my 18th birthday celebration as a member of my court?"
"I would greatly appreciate your acceptance as a member of my court for my 18th birthday celebration."
"Will you please grant me the pleasure of having you join my court for my 18th birthday celebration?"
I want something that conveys that joining would be doing me a huge favor but put in an elegant way. Please help me!

'Court' seems a little odd to me in English, but may be perfectly right for your event. Would 'entourage' do as well? "

The one that sounds natural to me is:
"Would you do me the honor of joining me as a member of my court at my 18th birthday celebration?"
