Come and play!
The party starts as soon as friends are invited! Your little Elmo fan will want all of their pals there for the special day. Our Elmo party invitation ideas make it simple to send out invites with personal touches that will get everyone excited about your party!
Send custom invites with a message from Elmo!
The kids will go wide-eyed with wonder when they get a custom invitation to your Elmo birthday party! Send them an
Elmo Birthday Custom Invitation
with a message like, "Well, tickle me silly. Danny is turning 3! Come help him celebrate at his birthday party!"
We'll print your message on your invites and they'll be ready to ship within five days.
Add an extra-special touch by sprinkling
Sesame Street Confetti
inside and closing it up with
Sesame Street Stickers.
Send fill-in invitations to get the gang together!
Elmo is a lovable little guy with good manners. Guests will think the same of your child when they get an
Elmo Custom Thank You Note
with a personal message inside like, "Thanks for coming to my Elmo party. It was so much fun!" Seal the envelope with a
Sesame Street Sticker
and add some
confetti.
Add an awesome picture to turn thank-you notes into keepsakes!
Kids love seeing pictures of themselves – especially with a favorite Sesame Street character like Elmo! During the party, snap a picture of guests with the birthday child in costume or the
Foil Waving Elmo Balloon
and include it with the
Sesame Street Thank You Note.
Add a pinch of
Sesame Street Confetti
for a final surprise.
Have some fun!
Games are Elmo's specialty, since he's got enough imagination for an entire neighborhood – talking to the moon, singing with Ernie and writing songs. Our Elmo party games and activity ideas will help you come up with some new ways for your party guest to burn off energy – and use great prizes to reward the good sports.
Oh no! Elmo has gone and lost his nose. Kids can help him smell the flowers again with this twist on the classic game
Pin the Tail on the Donkey.
To play the
Sesame Street Party Game,
instruct each player to close their eyes
and let them take a turn sticking Elmo's nose back on.
Make sure to hang the poster with some
Sticky Tack.
Get them moving with a game of musical chairs!
For this classic party game, line up chairs back-to-back for all but one player.
Station an adult by the stereo with the Elmo CD.
When the music begins, the children walk around the chairs. When it stops, everyone sits; the person without a seat is out. Remove one chair each round and continue until only the winner is left.
Give everyone Elmo treasures!
Elmo is a sweet and generous little monster who loves cheering his friends on and doing nice things for them. Let your child follow their hero’s example by using our party favor ideas to put together great gifts for all the party guests.
There's no one else on Sesame Street like Elmo, so why not send your party guests home with unique favors? Party City sells lots of favor containers that can't be found anywhere else. For an Elmo party, we like the
Favor Ball,
Favor Bucket
and
Favor Box
in coordinating colors.
Celebrate with Elmo!
It’s always a sunny day on Sesame Street where Elmo lives and plays with his friends Cookie Monster, Big Bird and Abby Cadabby. Our Elmo party decoration ideas will make it easy as A-B-C to create a colorful red, blue and yellow room filled with your child’s favorite characters.
Choose party decorations that set the scene for a day of fun!
Start your Elmo party right from the moment guests arrive.
Hang an
Elmo Birthday Banner
on the wall behind the party table and some
Sesame Street Dangling Cutout Decorations
with Elmo's smiling face. Hang up your banner with
Sticky Tack,
which goes up in a flash and won't harm your walls.
To complete the room, check out the table decorating and balloon ideas below!
Set a table filled with Elmo's lovable face!
Your little one and their friends will be tickled to sit down to a party table filled with all kinds of fun Elmo decorations.
Make the birthday child feel extra-special by setting an Sesame Street Balloon Weight
at their place so they can tell their special seat apart from all guests.
Make your decorations fly high with balloons!
The kids won't be able to resist looking overhead when you use a five-piece
Elmo Birthday Balloon Bouquet
as a big part of your Elmo party decorations. A balloon bouquet is a great way to add a super-smart edge to your decorations with a minimum effort.
You'll need helium! Get your balloons filled free or rent a tank at your
nearest Party City store
or order a
Helium Tank Kit
online, which fills up to 50 balloons.

The word on the street is that Elmo's favorite food is pizza! But he also loves other yummy things, like these Elmo party food ideas that are kid-friendly and easy to make.
Make a tower of Elmo cupcakes!
Cupcakes are a special-day food for Elmo – he doesn't eat sweets every day – so be sure to make them extra-yummy. Bake the birthday child's favorite cupcake
and frost them with vanilla icing. Use the
Elmo Cupcake Kit
and
Yellow Sugar Sprinkles
to decorate and display your baked goodies.
Add an
Elmo Candle
on the guest of honor's special cupcake.
Set out your cupcakes and watch your guests turn into "Cupcake Monsters." Don't forget
Dessert Plates
and
Beverage Napkins
to keep things neat!
Let them decorate their own cupcakes!
Elmo fans will love getting creative as they dress up cupcakes with Elmo cupcake decorations, candy sprinkles and colored sugar.
Pass around
Elmo Loves You Dessert Plates
for each child to work on, and let them start creating their masterpieces! Make sure to have plenty of
Elmo Napkins
on hand – cupcake decorating is messy work!
Make a menu of healthy all-the-time Elmo foods!
Elmo's favorite foods are healthy ones like fruits and veggies! So make a fun and satisfying menu of good-for-you foods to serve your little one and all their friends. They'll love Rainbow Fruit Kebabs. Start by cutting melon into shapes with small cookie cutters, then thread with kiwi, blueberries and strawberries on
Bamboo Skewers,
or spear one or two pieces at a time with
Elmo Fun Picks.
Display your fruit kebabs in a
Red Bucket
or on a
platter in a bright color.
and let everyone eat on
Elmo Loves You Lunch Plates
with matching
Elmo Napkins.
Set out veggies and let the kiddies decorate their own pizzas!
Making funny faces is even better when you can EAT them! Make Elmo party food into an activity by using simple, colorful ingredients the kids can use to create faces on individual pizzas. Start by covering the table with an
Sesame Street Table Cover.
Give each child an
Elmo Lunch Plate
with an individual pizza crust topped with tomato sauce. Then set out
clear bowls
filled with your favorite healthy toppings ... tomatoes and mushrooms are fine noses, red bell peppers make mouths, olives look like eyes, cheese and pepperoni make cheeks, and zucchini or chives can be ears and hair! Keep those
Elmo Lunch Napkins
handy for oopsies!
Make a sweet Elmo cake!
Here's a great way to invite your birthday boy's favorite Muppet to the party in the form of an Elmo birthday cake.

Wilton Basic Cake Decorating Set.
Top your finished cake with an
Elmo Candle.
Serve your cake on
Elmo Dessert Plates
