My little guy just turned 2! (They grow up way too fast!) I wanted to share some of the cute decorations and designs I made for his Sesame Street party.
I designed invitations and backed them on colored cardstock. I also printed matching address labels for the envelopes. (My trick to save money is to buy a package of colored card stock and cut them to size rather than buying individual sheets from a craft store. I save a lot of money and then I have leftover cardstock to use for other projects.)
Party hat with a yarn pom-pom
Noise makers - not just for the kids!
I took off the fabric garden flag we had up and replaced it with a sign backed on cardboard. Of course, this wouldn't work in bad weather, but it was a perfect day out.
Front door sign
Right inside the front door, I set up a little table with balloons, Sesame Street characters, goody bags, and noise makers. On the wall, I hung up photos from the year with the month written on each one so guests could see how he's grown during the past year.
Happy Birthday banner and colored streamers in the kitchen
Chocolate-covered pretzels are always a hit at every party we have!
Cookie Monster and Elmo fruit platters
Rubber duckies swimming in blue jello
We decided on a hot dog buffet for dinner because it's one of Connor's favorite foods.
I put all the utensils in the Elmo basket and hung balloons from the handle.
The one thing I didn't make was the cake, but the bakery did a great job on it. Connor was so excited when he saw a giant Elmo on his cake!
It tasted good too!
We had a great time and Connor was such a big boy!
Such a cute party! I love those Rubber Duckies in the Jello. :)
