Description
This 9 pack of party masks gives you nine colourful paper half masks in one pack for $32.98 - enough for a whole table of children, a photo booth queue or a party game, without buying nine separate items.
Half masks solve a problem that full masks create. A full face mask at a children's party gets worn for about four minutes before it comes off, because the child cannot see properly, cannot eat and cannot be heard. A half mask covers the eyes and forehead only, which is the part that makes a costume read in a photograph, and leaves everything the child needs to actually enjoy the party. It is also the reason half masks are the standard choice for photo booths - the face still shows, so the picture still looks like the person.

Why Choose a 9 Pack of Party Masks
-
Nine is a party quantity - enough for a table of children or a photo booth without counting heads first.
-
Half masks stay on - children keep wearing them because they can still see, eat and talk.
-
They photograph well - the face still shows, so the person is still recognisable in the picture.
-
Multi-colour - children pick their own rather than arguing over the one they wanted.
-
Light and flat to post - paper masks add almost nothing to a parcel, so they combine cheaply with the rest of a party order.
Are Paper Party Masks Reusable?
For a few wears, yes, but treat them as party consumables rather than costume pieces. Paper masks survive an afternoon comfortably and will go again at a second party if they are stored flat and dry, but they are not built for months of dress-up the way a moulded plastic or latex mask is. The weak points are the elastic or tie and the bridge between the eye holes, both of which soften with handling. If you want masks that last, buy plastic; if you want nine masks that make a party look right and do not matter when one gets sat on, paper is exactly the correct choice.
What Age Are Half Masks Suitable For?
These are listed as adult unisex one size, which in practice means they fit teenagers and adults properly and sit large on a small child. For primary school children they generally still work, because a half mask does not need a precise fit to look right - but the elastic will want shortening with a knot. For children under three they are not suitable at all: small paper pieces and an elastic loop around the head are not a combination for that age group, and the mask should always be supervised. As a rule, if a child is old enough to take a mask off by themselves, they are old enough to wear one.
What Else Do You Need for a Photo Booth?
Masks alone make a thin booth. What actually makes people queue is variety and a reason to stand still - so a plain backdrop in one strong colour, a mix of props at different heights, and something to hold the camera or phone steady at face level. Nine masks gives you the variety; a sheet or a roll of paper on a wall gives you the backdrop. Worth knowing before you spend: search interest in photo booth props in Australia is down sharply year on year, while ordinary party masks have held steady - so if you are choosing where to put the budget, masks and a good backdrop are the more reliable buy than a large novelty prop set.
Buyers are typically parents putting together a children's birthday party, people running a photo booth or a dress-up corner at a school fete or fundraiser, and anyone organising a masked theme night who needs spares for guests who arrive without one. They also get used for classroom activities and drama games, where a cheap mask that nine children can share matters more than a durable one.

Frequently Asked Questions
How many masks are in a pack?
Nine.
Are the nine masks all different?
They are supplied as a multi-colour assortment. The exact mix of colours and designs is set by the manufacturer and can vary between production runs.
What are they made from?
Paper.
Do they cover the whole face?
No. These are half masks covering the eyes and forehead, which is why they stay on at a party.
Will they fit children?
They are one size for adult unisex fit. On a primary-aged child they will sit large, and shortening the elastic with a knot solves it. Not suitable for children under three.
How are they held on?
Masks of this type are supplied with an elastic or tie. If the fastening method matters for your event, contact us before ordering and we will confirm the current stock.
Can I use them outdoors?
Yes, but they are paper - rain or a damp lawn will ruin them quickly.
