Party Hats
How to choose party hats
Sub-type fit
Pick sub-type first: Party & Celebration for birthdays, Arts & Entertainment for themed costumes, Party Supplies for bulk packs.
Reuse vs throwaway
Material decides reuse: felt, fabric, cotton and gold give multiple wears, plastic and paper are disposable.
Colour match
Colour choice runs white, pink, black, blue, red, gold, silver, green, yellow, brown, match it to the party theme.
Named or plain
Personalisation is only on fabric and felt tiers, plastic hats cannot carry a name.
Headcount
Think about who wears it: a handmade crown suits one child, a paper hat suits a class of thirty.
What's good
- Party & Celebration felt and fabric crowns give you a keepsake item that outlasts the event.
- Paper and plastic hats in Party Supplies suit bulk tables where every child gets one.
- Arts & Entertainment pieces like cosplay eyewear match a specific character look.
- Gold and silver finishes add a dressy touch for adult celebrations.
Things to watch
- Felt and cotton crowns need careful cleaning, they won't survive a washing machine.
- Plastic and paper party hats bend or tear, they are single use by design.
- Gold and silver materials can scratch or tarnish if stored with heavier objects.
- Personalised fabric pieces are wrong for large groups needing identical hats quickly.
Care & maintenance
Fabric care
Spot clean felt and fabric crowns with a damp cloth, then air dry away from radiators.
Lightweight storage
Keep paper and plastic hats in a flat box, moisture will curl the cardboard.
Metallic wipe
Wipe gold and silver surfaces with a soft cloth after use to slow tarnish.
Costume shape
Store polyester and foamex shapes away from direct sunlight to prevent warping.
