Sesame Street 1st Birthday

My baby boy turned 1 years old this past weekend. Since he loves Sesame Street I decided to play of the Elmo & Sesame theme. The palette I used was red, green, yellow & green.

As you walked into the living room you would immediately notice the drapings using plastic tablecloths from the dollar store in my color pallete and in the center pom poms with the sesame street faces on each pom pom.

I hung the pom poms throughout the interior and exterior of my house to add color and enhance the theme. My son loved to see these pom poms throughout the party.

I made a balloon tower in my pallet of colors: red, green, blue & yellow and topped it with a Sesame Street mylar. It totally tied in the theme together. I placed the balloon tower behind the dessert & appetizer table.

I also made 2 Elmo themed balloon towers to decorate the outside of the house and the living room. I used a jumbo Elmo mylar and used the colors polka dot red and orange.

For the dessert/appetizer table I made a 3ft (3tier) Elmo cupcake stand. The top and bottom tier I placed my homemade Elmo & Cookie Monster cupcakes. In the middle tier I placed my homemade Cookie Monster & Elmo sugar cookies.

 

Above the table I placed several of my pom poms. I loved the way it came together!

 

 

I made an Elmo fruit platter for my guests and jello cups which I added pom pom noses and googly eyes for a fun touch.

 

 

The eyes were made of a fruit dip marshmallow creme & cream cheese... delicious!

 



 

My fruit cups had green grapes, mango, pineapple and blackberries to tie into the theme.

 

 

My baby boy was so happy! He could not get enough of the Cookie Monster cookies & cupcakes. He went straight for the cookie inside the cupcakes!
