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.

An example is the 18 "shots", where 18 men stand in a line, each holding a glass of wine. Each man greets the debutante, and they both take a shot, the debutante from her glass and the guest in from his.

Others involve material presents for the debutante, such as the 18 shoes and the 18 bills.

Lastly, there are the (optional) 18 white roses. If the debutante is missing a figure in her life such as a father, she chooses her 18 white roses in place of that figure.
