birthday hat

Celebration head adornment

A birthday hat is a cone-shaped party hat worn during birthday celebrations, typically made of thin cardboard with an elastic chin strap and festive decorations.

The hat signals celebration and mild silliness—adults wearing them often feel ridiculous but play along: Everyone put on their birthday hats when the cake came out.
