A hat party is one of the easiest and most fun birthday party ideas that can be easily adapted for all ages from toddlers to teens.

A hat party can be the most fun, special and memorable event, because it is somewhat akin to a costumed masquerade, only in a simpler version, when all you need is a hat!

Before organizing a hat party, think about whether you might want to set some special theme. For example, if the birthday will take place in the country or in a country house, you can indicate in the invitations that you are waiting for guests in rustic hats, or in sports-type hats. For a bachelorette party, romantic hats (or crowns) would be an ideal theme. If it’s difficult to decide on a theme, then ask guests to come in funny (crazy) hats or just don’t indicate anything.

Party invitations

It is desirable to issue invitations to a party with the image of a hat or make it in the form of a hat. Include the date, time and location of the party on the invitation. If there is a certain theme, be sure to indicate it so that guests can take into account your wishes. Also, in the invitation, do not forget to mention about the competition for The most…funny, huge (etc.) hat to spur the interest of the invitees.

Send the invitation ahead of time so that guests have time to prepare and find the right hat.

Of course, the theme of the holiday will draw the main attention to your guests. But if you want to emphasize the atmosphere, then with hats, hang hats from a chandelier, place them in prominent places, or make special decorations in the form of oversized hats.

A great option would be to create a special place, something like an exhibition of original (fun) or other hats. You can place them on boxes wrapped in wrapping paper or cloth, or on a hanger. It’s a good idea to place a mirror nearby so that everyone can look at themselves in a hat or try on another hat. Such a place will surely become a great backdrop for photos for a long memory!

If you have a special celebration, for example, an anniversary, you can take a photo of the birthday boy in a hat frame. Or pick up a few photos of the hero of the day in interesting headdresses.

Idea: to organize a birthday, where the main attribute will be a hat.
If your birthday girl loves various caps and hats, then arrange a party for her according to the “Hat Party” birthday scenario.

• Make a guest list. Send each guest an invitation in the form of a hat with the time, date and location of the party. Also indicate that the party pass will be a hat.
• All guests must be dressed according to the style of the holiday according to the scenario of the Birthday "Hat Party". That is, each guest must have a hat. What exactly it will be is a matter of taste. For example, you can wear a cap, you can wear a headscarf, or you can wear a crown.
• You also need to choose the appropriate gift. Anything that looks like a headdress or is needed in the care of a headdress will do. For example, it can be a hat-shaped jewelry stand, a fashionable cap. You can choose gifts in the "Gifts for Her" section.


• Decorate the room with all kinds of hats and pictures with their image. The table should also be decorated according to the style of the holiday according to the scenario of the Birthday "Hat Party". For example, for each guest, you can fold a napkin in the shape of a hat. You can also make sandwiches in the shape of a hat.
• Divide all guests into groups according to the headdress worn on them. For example, you will get three groups of Caps, Hats, Scarves. But if a group is too small, then you can give the opportunity to move from it to another group, but you will need to wear the appropriate headgear.
• The party according to the scenario of the birthday "Hat Party" will be aimed at identifying the best headdress. To do this, teams named according to their headgear will participate in competitions and defend the right to call their headgear the best. The birthday girl participates on an equal basis with everyone.


• All competitions on this holiday must be with the participation of headdresses. First, you can hold a general entertainment, in which all teams participate at the same time. For example, it could be a "Hat of Touches". For fun, you need a hat. All guests participate in the competition. Participants stand in a circle around the hat, alternating boy - girl - boy - girl. Each participant in the entertainment writes the name of a body part on 5 pieces of paper, for example, ear, arm, leg, etc. Then everyone puts their papers in a hat. The host shuffles the papers. Then the participants take turns taking out one piece of paper and touching with their right hand the part of the body that is written on the piece of paper. Then everyone takes out another piece of paper and touches with their left hand that part of the body that they got. In the third circle, they again touch with the right hand, in the fourth - with the left, and so on, until the pieces of paper run out.
• Further, the “Live Hat” game is played between the teams. For the game you will need hats (according to the number of teams) and a stopwatch. All teams line up. The leader puts on the hats for the first team members. The task of the participants is to pass the hat to the last participant without touching it with their hands, but at the same time, each participant must put the hat on his head. If a member of one of the teams touches the cap with his hands, then this team is given a penalty point. Each penalty point when summing up will be calculated as additional time spent (about 30 seconds). At the end of the task execution, each command fixes the execution time. The team with the best result wins.
• Then the competition "Tear off the hat" is held. Each team is given a hat. One representative per team is called to the battlefield. Each representative puts a hat on his head. The participants must keep their left hand pressed to their side, and with their right hand they must rip off the opponent's hat, while not allowing their hat to be torn off. After the hat is torn off, the fight continues between the next two representatives. And so the competition continues until all the representatives take part in the battles. The team that rips off the opponent's hats the most wins the competition.


• After that, several more competitions are held according to the theme of the holiday. Contests can be found in the "Games and Contests" section. After all competitions are over, the results are summed up. If the "Cap" team wins, then the cap is declared the main headdress, and for the rest of the party, everyone must wear caps.
• After determining the main headdress, distribute such a headdress to those who do not have it. After that, invite everyone to the table, and after the feast, continue the party, dancing to the incendiary rhythms.

But the lady in the hat, gentlemen,
Not the same as without...

Under the hat in any season you will find an abyss of charm.
She is always good tone.

Wear hats, ladies!

Everyone can see from afar.
And this one is unimportant -
Lightweight paper.
During repairs, you can wear
It should be in every home.
Here is a smart mother's hat,
And this is a funny grandfather hat.
Such a hat - it will hide from the sun,
For the summer, it is therefore brighter than all.
This one is a granny, very cute.
And here is Vikulin's hat - a girl's.

dramatization "Hat"
Kindergarten. Walk. Summer.
The children are all lightly dressed.
And without further ado
All with headgear.

Lots of different options:
There are scarves and panamas,
There are baseball caps and bandanas,
And to the right…. Image of a Lady!

Olga suddenly became a lady,
Hat showed a lot:
In an instant, the gait has changed,
Even "adulthood" appeared.

Immediately the speech became beautiful.
Hat - the beginning of the image!
All the girls opened their mouths
The ladies have spoken...

Not a walk, but a theater!
Already in the sand and do not sit ...
They even found a fan
Even more imaginative!

Spinning and squealing
Everyone wants hats.
In the image, of course, nice,
But even a little strange

To not jump a little,
Do not make noise and do not shout!
What to do? The hat is cute!
But Olya decided so:

"I'll take it off for now!
I'll rest a little, a little!"
And took it off quickly!
And a smile from ear to ear!

The image was released quickly -
A real artist!
Deftly reincarnated
And turned into herself again!

Well, the hat did not miss
And the owner was waiting!
Watched the game
Keeping your image.
