Here is sample plan for debut celebration. Guests arrival/ Registration Serving of refreshing drinks Welcoming Speech (From emcee or a parent ) Prayer AVP presentation Grand Entrance Debutante speech Dining (games can be organized while some are dining) Eighteen candles (speeches) Messages and wishes from family member Singing of birthday song Cutting of birthday cake 18 roses or 18 dances Debutante’s speech Distribution of Giveaways and Prizes Party There are other debut program flow samples out there like the one from Debut Ideas website. Debut program flows are similar to each other because the main activities for debut program are the same: prayer, dining, 18 roses, debutante speech. Again, there's no strict rule for debut celebration as long as you keep yourself and your audience happy.
