Elmo, the playful red monster, and his team are admired by children across the world. If your child enjoys watching Sesame Street, why not invite these characters on your child’s birthday to delight your guests as well as the guest of honor! Here are some invitation ideas that will help you to excite your guests so that they turn up to your Sesame Street birthday party. 

Prepackaged invites

 

Pick up the prepackaged invitations available at most party supplies stores to minimize your efforts. These invitations are designed to blend well with other Sesame Street birthday supplies and therefore, will help you to give a coordinated look to your celebrations. 

Elmo face invite

Cut out an oval shape from red cardstock and a small circle from an orange cardstock. Paste the orange circle on the red oval to make it Elmo’s nose. Use the large rolling eyes available at most department stores to make eyes and smile-shaped cutout from black cardstock to make the mouth. Write your party message 

 on the reverse side of the card and use red envelopes for enclosing them.

Goldfish invite

Let Dorothy, Elmo’s best friend, deliver your party message to the guests. Take a printout of a goldfish on card-stock and cut it along the edges. Write your Sesame Street birthday party details on the reverse side using innovative wordings such as ‘This ‘I’ for invitation is brought to you by the letter ‘j’ (first letter of your child’s name) and the number 4(your child’s age) to celebrate his birthday’.

Cookie monster invite

Make a circular cutout from blue card-stock whose color resembles to that of the cookie monster and fold it in the middle. For making the eyes, cut out some small circles from white card-stock and paint the pupils using black color. Paste these eyes on the folded blue circle. The googly eyes of Cookie monster are its signature characteristics and therefore, while gluing them, make sure one pupil points inwards whereas the other one points outwards. Write your party message on the inner part of the circle.

These invitations are sure to please any Sesame Street fan. While making an invite, make sure it complements the rest of your Sesame Street birthday supplies.

Balloon Decoration Ideas That Will Give a Festive Look to Your Party Atmosphere

Be it a wedding or a birthday, balloon-based party decorations fit all sizes. These inexpensive party accessories instantly transform your ordinary party into an amazing one. Here is how you can use your birthday party balloons to add fun and festive mood to your party.

Balloon splash:

To create this amazing roof effect, blow a lot of solid color party decoration balloons using helium, tie curling ribbons to their neck, and let them float in the air. If you are having a fairy or princess theme party, tie a plastic star to the lower size of the curling ribbon. This simple but elegant decoration idea will give a whimsical look to your party area.

Balloon poles:

This is pretty easy to make and is great for beautifying the entrance of your party. Secure a dowel on each side of your porch, at the beginning of your driveway, or at any other location that you want to highlight. Blow up some balloons and affix this balloon cluster on the top of the dowel. Decorate the base of the cluster with streamers, tulle fabric, ribbons, etc. These balloon poles are perfect outdoor decorations to signal the party location.

Balloon place cards:

Instead of attaching balloons to the guest of honor’s chair, write each guest’s name on large plain Birthday Party Balloons and tie them to their chairs. These balloons will act as place markers and can also double up as party favors. Use colored markers or peel-and-paste letters to write the names. Similarly, you can use balloons to mark the important areas of your party such as lemonade station, game station, etc.

Apart from these, the standard balloon arches, columns, and garlands play a big role in sprucing up your empty party space. By creatively using these inexpensive party decoration balloons, you can create an eye-catching atmosphere for your party.   

Party Games That Will Keep the Little Ones Busy During Your Thanksgiving Party

Go beyond the convention party games at your upcoming Thanksgiving party and let the kids play some exciting, one-of-a-kind games that will keep them busy throughout the party. Incorporate the party themes in your games to allow the kids to bond and laugh. Here are some Thanksgiving Party Ideas for choosing the party games that will enhance their holiday spirit. 

Pass the ‘Thankerchief’

This variation of the classic ‘pass the hot potato’ game will be loved by kids. Have them sit in a circle and give them a themed bandana to pass on. You can play some music for them while they pass the ‘thankerchief’ or let them sing “Thankerchief, Thankerchief, around you go; where are you going to stop, well no one knows. But when you do, I will say, what I am thankful for, on this very day!" When the poem ends, the person holding the thankerchief will share one thing for which, he/she is thankful. Let them keep playing until everyone has had a turn. 

Turkey hunt

What can be better a Thanksgiving Party Idea for games than having a turkey hunt on this ‘turkey day’? Hide index cards featuring turkey pictures or stickers around the party area and ask the kids to find them. Help them by giving maps, some clues, binoculars, and other treasure hunt accessories. The one who finds maximum number of turkeys will be the winner of the game.  

Bowling with pumpkins

Get 10 empty soda bottles and fill them less than half way with sand to get them to stand up. Use the bottles as they are or cover them with fall themed wrapping paper. Set these bottles up like the bowling pins and have the kids bowl them with medium-sized pumpkins. Make sure you have some extra pumpkins on hand, as they might split while bowling. 

Good entertainment with a creative use of Thanksgiving party supplies will make your holiday party run smoothly. These game ideas will certainly help you create wonderful memories.
