Who says you have to wear a bonnet to Easter on Parade?

What will you be wearing to the Easter Parade? Find out what your cap or chapeau says about you.

New Easter Bonnet
If you spent over $50 on a new Easter bonnet, you have lots of money. We're jealous. But you still look good, be-yotch. Love the grosgrain ribbon.

Big Old Crazy Homemade Hat Made From an Upside Down Basket with Branches Growing out of It, Red Robins, Flowers and a Bird's House on Top
You are what makes Richmond super cool and a fantastic place to live in. We love you. (And you and you, crazy hat lady!)

Bonnet from Colored Paper, Ribbon & Feathers from the Bonnet-Making Tent
You are a joiner and like to have a good time. Nothing wrong with that. You also don't plan well. Nothing wrong with that either. Some of the best things happen spur of the moment. You probably shop at The Gap and Old Navy too. We're just saying.
But you know, you look super cute.

Cowboy Hat on a Guy
You're sexy.

Cowboy Hat on a Girl
And you are too!

Bunny Ears
Cute on the kid. Not so cute on you, middle-aged lady who's still wearing a mini-skirt.

The Same White Easter Bonnet with the Blue Polka Dot Ribbon That You Wear Every Year to the Easter Parade
You are a true blue Richmonder. Even if you moved here recently and already have your token Easter Parade bonnet that you wear every year, this move qualifies you as a home-grown Southerner. Bravo, I say. Bra-vo.

Trucker Hat
You are a hipster. And a little passé at that. Although if you adorn it with Marshmallow PEEPS, you get points.

Elvis Costello Porkpie Hats on Guys
VCU art student. Or balding dude.

Complicated Easter Bonnet on the Cat/Dog
Do you have kids? I didn't think so. Still, love the sunglasses and straw bonnet on your Pomerian. Can I pet it? You're the best.

Tips for Hat-making Party

If you're throwing an Easter Parade party, dig out all your old hats. Find all of them: the felt chapeaus, the dapper little caps and grandpa's old top hat. Put them on a table at the front of the party. Provide several items so that people can decorate. Easy things to pick up at the Dollar Store:

-Ribbon
-Wire
-Plastic flowers
-Marshmallow PEEPS (chicks, bunnies – you can eat what you don't decorate!)
-Styrofoam eggs
-Easter egg grass
-Egg cartons
-Any mini chick/bunny related stuffed animals you can get rid of
-Colored tissue paper/foil paper
