EVENT SCRIPT

START OF PROGRAM - WELCOME

Host: Tonight is a celebration of adulthood and a thanksgiving of the life God has given to our
lovely celebrant. Let us put our hands together, as we welcome the main highlight of this
celebration, and as she steps into a higher level of life, ladies and gentlemen, our debutant,
Jasmine!
Host: (PRAYER) – JOHN RUSSEL RIVERA
Host: The love of a family will always be God’s greatest blessing. Like they say, in life we can
have several friends, classmates, and social circles, but there is only one family who is always
willing and ready to welcome us no matter what. Ladies and gentlemen, here are Mommy Annie
and Daddy Jay to welcome all of us to their lovely daughter’s 18th birthday.
(PARENTS’ SPEECH)
 18 ROSES
Host: Thank you to mom & dad. And now we will be having the 18 roses…
IDEA BEHIND 18 ROSES - For a lot of girls, the 18 roses is a highlight of the debut program. It
represents a girl’s readiness in the area of romance, as was the original purpose of the debut. The
first rose is usually given by the debutante’s father to symbolize something that is both beautiful
and “thorny”. He is then followed by the other male members of the family, as the protectors of
the girl. The remaining men in the 18 Roses lineup are friends of the debutante, and the person
selected as either the second-to-the-last rose or the last rose is the girl’s special someone.

 18 CANDLES

Host: Thank you to all the gentlemen who danced with our debutant tonight for her 18 roses, and
now we shall proceed to the 18 candles!
IDEA BEHIND 18 CANDLES - 18 Candles program transitions from the romance aspect to the
girl as an independent member of society. It involves the women who are important to the
debutante—as advisors, teachers, and trusted peers. These women give speeches and advice and
state their well-wishes for the debutante. They then each light a candle that symbolizes light—
light that will guide the girl on her life journey. Once all 18 candles have been lit, they are placed
on the debutante’s birthday cake and blown out.

 18 TREASURES

Host: Thank you very much for the 18 blue bills, next we have the 18 treasures.
IDEA BEHIND 18 TREASURES - As the debutante celebrates the beginning of womanhood,
she will need tools that either help her in the future, encourage her in the present, or give her
something fond to look back on. In the 18 Treasures program, friends and family members are
tasked to give the debutante special gifts or “tokens”and explain how they will become
inspirations for her. These “treasures” represent the friendship between the giver and the
debutante, because they indicate how well they know each other.

Host: Thank you to our 18 treasures, may your gifts guide and inspire our debutant to flourish
and become the woman we wish her to be. So far so good, the program’s going well, and we all
know what we’re waiting for tonight, but before that we shall have games. How well do you
guys know about Jasmine? I have with me a list of trivia or questions about tonight’s fine lady.
The mechanics are just simple. I will read the trivia and if you know the answer, stand up from
your seat. Alright, let’s keep the ball rolling! ___
(GAMES)
Host: We probably all know that one of Jasmine’s favorite things to do is dancing. She considers
dancing as a hobby that relieves her from stress and to freely express herself. For the moment
we’ve all been waiting for, let us call on our debutant and her friends to showcase her talent in
dancing.
(DANCE NUMBER)
Host: Wow, just wow, that was amazing! We all have seen our debutant showcase her dancing
skills and put her heart into every move that she made with her friends and family. We will be
giving her the time to rest a bit and change her outfit, for the meantime the giveaways will be
distributed to each and everyone in this room, thank you for watching.
