Sesame Street 2nd Birthday Party for the Trio

My kids L-O-V-E all things Sesame Street.
So for their 2nd birthday, we threw them a Sesame Street themed party.
They were in hog heaven!


First off, I made them all their own Sesame Street shirt featuring each of their favorite characters, personalized with their name and the number 2.
I found little plain t-shirts at Hobby Lobby for $2.99 each and printed out the designs using my regular ink jet printer and iron-on transfer paper (for dark fabric) from Staples.


I also made my daughter a pink sparkly tutu to go with her Abby Cadabby ensemble. 
Armed with an elastic band and 3 rolls of pink tulle,
I followed this tutorial from Family Fun for a no-sew tutu.

To complete the kids' Sesame Street get-ups, 
we also ordered them each a hand-made Sesame Street hat from Etsy.com.
They turned out super cute!


The invitations were made using Photoshop Elements.


I also made the Thank You tags for the cookie bags using Photoshop.


For the decorations, I made a Happy Birthday banner using my Cricut and the Elmo's Party cartridge.


Other Sesame Street characters were also sprinkled throughout the house.


I kept the food easy and kid-friendly by serving pizza, punch, goldfish crackers, 
a variety of candy and Sesame Street cupcakes.


Guests were encouraged to wear party hats :)


The kids had a blast...




and I really enjoyed putting it all together.

The party is long gone now and I have all of the leftover decorations, 
which I would hate to throw away, 
so...
if you would like the banner, characters, the hats, and a few leftover thank you tags,
