Hats On! Holiday Party

Planning, Ideas, and Supplies

…

Don your hats ladies, it is time to party!

Although a hat or fascinator party is a perfect party theme for Ladies Night Out Parties, Bachelorette Parties (Hen’s Night In), Bridal Showers, Birthday Luncheons, Retirement Parties, and even Quinceanera Celebrations, Teen Parties, Sweet Sixteen Parties, and Bat Mitzvah Celebrations (especially if you add a charitable element to your celebration), it is equally compelling as a fun way to “do” Halloween without the full blown costume or a festive way to dress up this year’s holiday luncheons and parties. So don your hats ladies and leave those ugly Christmas sweaters packed away in mothballs in the back of your closet or in the bottom of your dresser drawers.

The Inspiration for this party

Kate Middleton, Fashion Icon & The Fascinator

Women across the world are wanting them and wearing them!

The fascinator is the new must have fashion accessory! What is it? It is an ornate hair accessory that features feathers, beads, flowers and other fancy trimmings. Kate (or should we say Princess Catherine) seems to favor fascinators with feathers. We like them all. Not only do fascinators add a whole lot of flair to any outfit, a nice fascinator does not have to set you back a pretty penny which is good because you will definitely want to own more than one!

…

Where to wear them?

Everywhere!

• Planning a ladies night out or bachelorette party? Call attention to yourselves by wearing these fun and festive head pieces.

• Planning a birthday luncheon? Ask all your friends to wear fascinators or hats or any type!

• Attending an afternoon wedding? Don a fascinator — the latest British trend to storm America’s shores.

• Hosting a Halloween or holiday party?  Add some glam and some fun.

Personally, we might skip the holiday hat theme invitation altogether and choose an elegant holiday party invitation that better compliments the festive elegance or your Hats On! Holiday Party.

Hat Theme Partyware and Paper Goods

We have searched and searched and cannot find any acceptable paper goods that would be perfect for a hat theme party so we recommend creating your own. For those non-crafty types, do not panic! The only work involved is ordering solid colored partyware and personalized hat theme stickers and then applying the stickers to the plates and cups. Not only can you personalize the message, you can also choose the shape of your sticker.

Hat Theme Place Cards and DIY Place Card Board

Create a beautiful place card “board” by stacking hat boxes either plain or decorated. Attach your flat place cards to the hatboxes with hat pins. Push the pins through the box and into the foam. You many need to place floral foam or styrofoam blocks inside the boxes to stabilize the pins. Place on a lazy susan so your guests can easily twirl it to find their card
