party hat

Birthday cone accessory

A party hat is a festive conical cap worn at celebrations, especially birthday parties.

Typically made of cardboard or paper with an elastic chin strap, party hats come in bright colors and patterns.

The term extends to similar decorative headwear: The New Year's revelers wore glittery party hats.

In emoji, the party hat appears on the face blowing a party horn 🥳.
