Foam Hat Retail Stores

Foam hats are novelty headwear: oversized, feather-light shapes molded or cut from foam, made to be worn for an evening rather than a season. Think foam top hats, giant foam fingers' headwear cousins, and the funny hats that appear at parties, sporting events, promotions and photo booths. Because they are event supplies more than fashion, the retailers listed here are party and craft chains rather than hat specialists: Michael's, where foam top hats and other hats may be available, and Party City, where funny hats including foam hats are often for sale. Stock in this category changes with seasons and party themes, so checking the current range at each store is part of the shopping process.

What Foam Hats Are Used For

A foam hat's job is to be noticed. The material takes bright color and holds exaggerated shapes - tall top hats, crowns, themed silhouettes - at almost no weight, so a whole team, class or wedding party can wear them comfortably for hours and in photographs. They are staples of charity runs, corporate promotions, school events, stag and hen parties and themed birthdays. Foam is also cheap enough per piece that organizers can buy for a whole group and treat the hats as part of the event kit, which is why the retailers here sell them through party and craft departments rather than clothing departments.

Buying Foam Hats for a Group

Plan around three things. Quantity: buy a few spares, since foam tears if it is pulled hard and one damaged hat in a group photo is noticeable. Fit: most foam hats are one-size with an elastic or adjustable inner band; for groups that include children, confirm the style suits smaller heads or order a mix. Storage and transport: foam crushes permanently under weight, so keep hats stacked loosely, transport them in a large bag or box on top of other supplies, and keep them away from heat in a parked car. Order with lead time before a dated event - party stock turns over quickly around holidays and big games.

Common Questions

Which stores are listed for foam hats?

Michael's, where foam top hats and other types of hats might be available, and Party City, where funny hats including foam hats are often for sale.

Are foam hats sold by hat stores?

Generally not - foam hats are novelty and party goods, so they are stocked by party and craft retailers like the two listed here rather than by hat specialists.

How should foam hats be stored?

Loosely and uncrushed, away from heat. Foam takes a permanent dent under weight, so store hats on top of other items rather than underneath them.
