What you'll do:

You'll design a completely custom hat from scratch — picking your base, layering in accessories, and finishing it with live branding that makes it yours and no one else's.

• Choose your hat base – Select from a range of styles to find the silhouette that fits your look and the occasion

• Build your accessory stack – Mix and match from an extensive inventory of charms, pins, bands, feathers, and florals to personalize every detail

• Work with a live branding station – Add initials or a custom symbol directly onto your hat using Southern Salt's on-site branding tools

• Toast the occasion – Crack open a complimentary bottle of bubbly (or a non-alcoholic option) while you create

• Walk away with something made for you – Your finished hat is a fully custom piece you designed yourself, not something you picked off a shelf

Every hat in the room comes out different, and that's the point. This is a hat making workshop where the process is as much fun as the finished product — and the guest of honor gets 10% off to make it even sweeter.

Why we love it for your party:

• All-inclusive pricing – The fixed per-person rate covers your hat, accessories, live branding, and full setup and takedown, so there's nothing to coordinate on the day

• Expert creative support – Southern Salt's team guides every guest through the design process, so no one gets stuck or left behind

• Live branding on-site – Initials, symbols, or a custom mark get pressed directly onto each hat during the event — a detail most craft experiences can't offer

• Guest of honor discount – Brides, birthday stars, and anyone being celebrated get 10% off their build automatically

• Flexible for any group – Works for bachelorette parties, birthdays, corporate team events, and private celebrations of all sizes
