I love the way it turned out! Zeus did too – even though his face isn’t showing his excitement 😉 The best thing about these is that you can customize the letters and just print what you need. In doing so, I created free banner letters for you (just the letters – no characters). I actually couldn’t find any free, printable letters that worked well, so I created my own. Here you can see more of the table, the amazing DIY birthday sign (so easy to make), the party hats, and the goody bags.īelow is a close-up of the DIY sign as it was still in the making.

However, I’m so glad I didn’t because who doesn’t get a good laugh out of “Oscar’s Scram-burgers” and “Ernie’s Rubber Doggies?!” Sesame Birthday Banner With the menu not finalized until a few days before the party, I almost nixed labeling the food to coordinate with the theme of the party. We also made a Big Bird out of cheese and crackers along with a watermelon Elmo. Making the snacks into character faces was so fun! Look how cute Oscar turned out! To show you just how simple it was, I wrote a step-by-step tutorial on exactly how to make these cute Sesame cupcakes. The cupcakes were the most fun to make! They are simply dipped in sprinkles and decorated. The pretzels – labeled Abby’s Magical Wands – were the easiest to make. I loved this cake so much that I was actually a little sad cutting it. For step-by-step, instructions, see my cake post. I used red sprinkles on the sides, and the eyes/nose are actually sugar cookie cut-outs that are dipped in chocolate melts. I made a 12″ two-layer vanilla cake with chocolate icing. Let’s move on to my favorite part of the Sesame Street party (and well, every party) – the desserts! I made the party hats using the same character cut-outs from above. This is a great set of tissue paper pom-poms too because they are Sesame colors. Here’s a great tutorial on how to make tissue paper pom-poms.Īlso, if you check your Dollar Tree, you might get lucky and find a 2-pack at the dollar store.

Last, the tissue paper pom-poms were a mix of dollar store finds with homemade ones – and then again, I simply glued the faces on. The photo booth props were super simple – I just glued some signs and faces to popsicle sticks. Sesame Birthday Pennant Bannerįor the triangular pennant banner, I cut the pennants out of brightly colored cardstock (a combination of this pack and this pack), and then used fishing line and hot glue to connect. So simple that I did the same with the goody bags, buckets (I used to tape so I could reuse the buckets), and balloons. The party hats I bought at Walmart (you could use these party hats too) and then simply glued the faces on. Sesame Party Hats, Goody Bags, Balloons, And Buckets

This is one of my best party tricks – using the same templates for everything I can! I also recently did this planning a puzzle party!ĭecorating was super easy when you reuse the same things for each decoration. I used the same character face cut-outs on the pennant banner, party hats, goody bags, balloons, party buckets, pom-poms, and photo booth props. You see, I used the same Sesame Street faces to make seven awesome party decorations. I love efficiency almost as much as I love a good theme party, so I had planned to make the decorating as easy as possible, without compromising my extravagant plans. 5.11 More Posts You’ll Love Sesame Street Party Decorations
