Sesame Street Party Ideas
If your child dreams they could live on Sesame Street with all of their favorite Muppet characters, you won’t want to miss out on this year’s Sesame Street party ideas. Pick up yours today and throw a birthday party to remember for your youngster!
When you choose Sesame Street birthday party themes, you may invite Big Bird, Elmo, Cookie Monster, and the rest of the Sesame Street gang to your child’s next birthday! We’ve got you covered from start to finish, with everything from dinnerware to décor to favors and personalized gifts.
Sesame Street Party Decorations
You don’t have to turn your house into a Sesame Street DIY extravaganza to create the tone. Simply use vivid colors whenever you can. Balloons, placards, and streamers in rainbow colors. Under some Sesame Street dinnerware, any color tablecloth will stand out.
For a little extra excitement, match the paper products with matching napkins, mugs, and party hats. Don’t be concerned about clashing colors—Sesame Street is all about being bold and authentic.
Consider a chalkboard theme for the entire party, which can be used as both decor and games! Set some brightly colored chalk near the board and allow guests of all ages to write a birthday greeting or create a picture for the honored guest.
Consider the three primary aspects of decor: something to announce the party’s arrival from the outside, something for the visitors to wear, and something to designate a specific “birthday space” in the house—whether it’s a cake table or a large banner.
Balloons backdrop
With primary color balloons, create a colorful backdrop. Allow plenty of time for all of the balloons to be inflated. Start at the top and work your way down, affixing them to the wall with tape loops, as soon as possible before the party (you don’t want to start too far in advance or your balloons will start coming off the wall).
Table setting
The risers from Sesame Street give your table a whole new look. They can be made out of diaper boxes that have been wrapped in paper and embellished in a Sesame Street-inspired manner. Arrange a balloon in the shape of Elmo’s face to add some Elmo personality to your celebration with no work.
Decorate the walls with Elmo banners or one with the name of the birthday boy or girl. To welcome guests, lay a balloon wreath or an Elmo Air walker balloon at the entryway.
Sesame Street pinata
You’ll know when it’s time after dessert. Of course, it’s pinata time. All of the kids will have a blast searching for the lucky string that releases all of the sugar and sweets with this charming Elmo pull string pinata.
Party Games
What good is a party if there aren’t any games? Simple, familiar games are excellent for smaller children, but these Sesame Street birthday party ideas can provide a twist.
Play hot potato, but let the kids pass a stuffed Elmo around while you play Sesame Street music. When the music ends, the child holding Elmo is out.
“Pin the feet on Big Bird” is another game you can play. Make a large body out of yellow construction paper and tape it to a bulletin board or a child’s wall. Then draw details to his body with white, blue, and black crayons. Finally, construct as many orange legs as you need to give each kid one.
Make a list of their names so you’ll know who each one belongs to. Put a blindfold on each youngster and have them take turns taping the legs on the giant bird. There will be plenty of chuckles. The child who comes the closest to winning is the winner!
Make sure you have Sesame Street gifts to give away!
Party Favors
Elmo party favors, like toy animals, novels, and stickers, are excellent after-party handouts. Involve your children in the creation of these party favors to give them a personal touch. They can also help choose the party favors with adult supervision. Elmo-themed bags, boxes, buckets, stationery, art supplies, or even lollipop snacks will assist children and ensure that the enjoyment continues long after the party has ended.
Sesame Street Party Invitations
Parents appear to be sending birthday party invites closer than ever before to the party day. Is everyone really that busy, or are parents trying to limit how many guests they may invite?
Send out invitations around five weeks before the big day to ensure your guests keep the date open. According to etiquette experts, invites should be sent no earlier than eight weeks before the party and no later than two weeks before the celebration.
With this in mind, please make sure you order your cards far enough ahead of time to allow for printing and shipment. Order matching thank you notes at the same time so they’ll be ready to go as soon as the party is over.
Choose from a range of lovely Sesame Street invites for your child’s party. These will be provided to you for free. Simply fill in all of your party’s details.

Kids-Friendly Party Foods
Sure, pizza is the old standby as the main course for kids’ birthday parties. But why not go for finger foods, instead? Make pigs in blankets, hard-boiled eggs, and mini pizza bagels. Label them with clever names like Bert and Ernie tucked in bed, Oscar’s smelly eggs, and Big Bird nests.
Make fruit trays in the shape of your favorite Sesame Street characters. Strawberries can be shaped to look like Elmo’s head. Blueberries for Grover. Green grapes for Oscar the Grouch. Make Bert and Ernie out of pineapples and oranges. Add more fruit for each nose and mouth, and dollops of whipped topping with chocolate chips for the eyes.
You can use the same Sesame Street birthday party ideas to make vegetable trays – red and yellow peppers, carrots, and broccoli can all form the basis of everyone’s favorite Sesame Street characters.
Elmo cupcakes are easy to make – whether you do them yourself or order from your favorite bakery. You can also add chocolate chip cookies for dessert in honor of Elmo’s friend, Cookie Monster. If it’s their first birthday, don’t forget to make a special sesame street cake just for them!
