For R’s second birthday party, I did an Elmo themed party, since she, like most kids, is on love with the little red monster.
I spent a TON of time researching and going to many different stores to find all the perfect yet inexpensive products for the party, as well as making many customizable products to give the party that extra special touch!
In this blog post you will find all sorts of ideas for decorations, cakes, cupcakes, personalized party favors and more with TONS of free downloads to make your own party! If you have other ideas for Elmo parties, please share them or post pictures on my flickr group and let us know in the comments!
Decorations:
I bought most of my decorations from the dollar store, where you can find TONS of cute stuff – from banners, to cupcake stands, to all kinds of other things you can hang on the walls. Add some elmo balloons and you are set!
I bought a zillion of these Elmo balloons from the DOLLAR store! Yes, the dollar store! They were awesome, and they actually lasted for weeks! Since they were only a dollar, i literally bought about 20 and put them up all over the house.
I bought this elmo basket from Target – can’t remember how much it was, but it wasn’t bad – I think around $10.
Perfect for holding cute elmo candies!
…and for halloween too!
These are the labels I made to wrap around little candy bars. I specifically sized these to Hershey Miniature candy bars.
Click on each image, then right click and save the larger image that comes up. Or click here to download a PDF of these ready to print onto letter size label paper. Then cut them out and wrap around your bars!

What party would be complete without your themed paper products! I personally went to about 4-5 different stores to get the best but least expensive paper products, and ultimately came up with these:
Cups: The dollar store
Plates and Napkins: Party City (I just didn’t like the ones at the dollar store as much)
Streamers and hats: Party City
Note: To save on the number of these I had to buy, I also bought plain red and yellow plates, napkins and all my utensils from dollar store. It ends up being significantly cheaper than buying them from Party City or Target!
Sesame Street Juice Boxes
I found these really cute juice boxes for the party which work great! You can buy small packs at wholefoods, but I found a big multi pack at BJs! There were (and still are) a hit!
Cake and Cupcakes!
I hadn’t intended on going so overboard with this whole party…but once I got started, I couldn’t help myself!
So, for the cake, I took inspiration from a good friend of mine who is AWESOME at making and decorating cakes, and thought I would try my hand at it. This is the first time I’ve made a cake other than a simple round or square cake, and definitely the first time I’ve ever decorated. So hopefully that will give you confidence – it really wasn’t that bad! I bought my baking supplies mainly from Michaels – with a couple of things that I found in larger bulk from Walmart.
For the CAKE:
1) Buy the mix (I used German chocolate cake by betty crocker) or make it form scratch
2) Buy a cake pan – I bought the cake pan from Michaels as well. You will need shortening to coat the pan as well
3) You need supplies for icing. There are tons available for this. I bought most of it from Michaels again – i bought the bags, and the tips – I think I just bought 1 tip – the star, and used that for everything. I also bought a spatula to spread the icing.
4) You need icing and color. I bought large bottles of cream cheese icing form walmart as well as the red icing color from there. I would buy 2 bottles of icing color, because you need to add a lot to get the red color – otherwise it will just look pink. I also bought ready to use orange icing for the nose, and black icing decoration for the eyes.
5) Melt-able chocolate candy (also in the cake section) for the mouth.
Once you have everything, you make the cake mix, prepare the cake pan as instructed, and bake your cake. I turned it over onto a cutting board with aluminum foil. There were pieces that broke, like the nose, but I just placed it back on, and it was fine once I put the icing on. Then you start decorating!
I first tried to use a spatula to cover the cake with icing, thinking it would be faster, but it was a disaster. Little cake crumbs got all mixed in with the icing and I had to start over. SO I switched to using the icing bag and star tip, and made the little dollops to cover the whole cake, and it worked like a charm! The only different thing I did was make concentric circles instead of dollops for the nose – just to make it look a little bit different.
For the mouth, you just melt the chocolate in the microwave as directed, and then I poured it into the mouth opening. Then when you do the red icing for the face, you overlap the edges of the mouth to cover it up (I wish I had pictures to show you! But I wasn’t blogging back then, so wasn’t thinking of taking pix!).
As far as order, I would do eyes, then mouth, then red face, then orange nose.
For the CUPCAKES:
I used red velvet mix to give the non-chocolate eaters an options. I made cupcakes just like you usually do, then ultimately used the spatula to top them with icing. Below you can see all the different renditions I came up with. I made some with spirals using the star tip with the icing topper, and some with the spatula – i found the spatula to be faster. I experimented with different products for the eyes and nose, and ultimately settled on marshmallows for the eyes, and a third of a candied orange slice for the nose. Then I used black, glittery icing decoration for the pupils and the mouth. They were a hit!
BROWNIE BITES:
I made some totally peanut/nut free options for some friends, and used regular brownie mix (my favorite is Duncan Hines Family Style made with pasteurized egg whites, and cooked at a slightly lower temperature than recommended and for significantly less time). I used a baking pan that had 1 inch squares and poured the batter in there. Then I used a spatula to spread white icing on the tops and then used ready made elmo cupcake toppers to decorate them!
You can find lots of different cupcake liners and toppers at Michaels and AC Moore.
Elmo cupcake toppers and liners available at michaels and ac moore. The baking pan for the elmo cake is available at those stores as well.
Many people have been looking for elmo cupcake toppers, so I figured I’d make some for you!
They are 1 inch circles, red with elmo’s face. Print them on an 8.5 x 11 page or LABEL paper (you can buy this at any office supply store, or buy in bulk from planetlabel.com), and then use a 1 inch circle or scalloped circle punch to punch out your toppers. Then stick a toothpick to the back of one sticker, and put another sticker behind it. And viola! You have your very own DIY Elmo cupcake topper! Yay!
Invitations & Return Address Labels
I spent quite a bit of time making these invitations – hopefully you can benefit from it as wel!
You can download the invitation and fill in your child’s name and age – either using photoshop or word, and then print them on a letter size paper – 4 to a page. There is blank space also to add the date, time, location and RSVP info to the invitation.
The font I used is “teenage angst”
Click on this image to get a larger version of it, then right click and save it to make your own elmo party invitations. You can add the date, time and location as well as other details to the invitation in the blank space on the bottom.
Here is a version of the invitation without the lines (click on the image first, THEN right-click and save):
NEW (added 4/17/2013):
Here is a PDF of the invitation that has editable fields in it, so you can customize your elmo invitation to your party!
NEW (added 4/17/2013):
And a completely blank invitation (right click to save the image and then add whatever text you would like):
And the same blank invitation with 4 on a page:
A tip for all the printing mentioned here:
You can print all of these items either on your own printer at home, or you could get them printed at a local office store such as FedEx Office or Staples. The bulk of the cost usually comes from the cutting, so you could invest $25 in a paper cutter and cut everything yourself (that’s what I did!).
Personalized Elmo Return Address Labels or other All Purpose Sticker
Click on this image to get the full resolution version, then right click and save it to make a personalized return address label for your birthday boy or girl that can be used on invitations and thank you notes. You can also use this as a general all purpose sticker to label food and other items at the party! Just make sure to print it onto label paper if you want to use it for stickers. At 2×2, you should be able to arrange the stickers so that you can print 20 per letter size page.
Elmo Party Activity #1: Build Your Own Elmo!
Sadly I can’t remember where I got this idea from, but I made a “Build Your Own Elmo” activity for the party.
I basically made pieces of elmo out of construction paper, and put them, along with 2 googly eyes, a nose and fasteners into a party bag for each kid. Then at the party I laid out a sheet, gave each kid a bag, and put out tons of foam stickers and let everyone go to town!
Most fasteners I found were the regular old silver or gold circles. But for a little more money, you can find all sorts of cute flowers and colored circles etc in the scrap booking section of AC Moore or Michaels! Just remember that the fasteners are a choking hazard for younger kids. So depending on how old your kids are at the party, you may want to put the fasteners in their own plastic bag (that’s what i did) and make sure that a parent is with each child when they make these. And most importantly, make sure the parents are aware of the choking hazard so they can keep a close eye on the kids!
I found the googly eyes in multi-size packs at the dollar store. I just had to buy 3 packs so I would have enough of the large ones for each child. For the noses, I used a 1.5 inch scalloped circle paper punch with orange cardstock to cut out noses.
Then I added a small sticky foam square to the back of each that the guests could simple remove the backing from and stick onto elmo!
Here are a couple of beautiful Elmos that were created at the party!
You can download the printable build your elmo pattern that you see below.
Click on this image to get a larger version of it, then right click and save that version. You can then print the image on a letter size paper, roughly cut out the pieces, and use for the build your own elmo activity described above! I printed this onto red construction paper (which required manually feeding each sheet) – but white paper would work just as well, and then the kids can color them too!
Elmo Party Activity #2: Pin the nose on Elmo!
On a big red poster board, I drew this elmo (i know, not perfect, but it works!) and then added the eyes using regular paper and construction paper.
Lastly, I made the noses. I used orange foam because that’s what I had, but I would just use orange card stock if I were doing it again. I used a 3 inch scalloped circle paper punch to cut out the noses, and then attached a medium sized square double sided sticky foam to the back of each one. Then the kids were able to just take one, peel off the backing and pin the nose on Elmo! Depending on how old your kids are, you may or may not want to spin them around first with a blindfold on. =)
Elmo & Big Bird Party Favor Bags & Labels
I bought regular red and yellow gift bags from the dollar store, and then put these big bird and elmo face stickers on them for a special touch.
As far as what to put in them, here’s what I did:
1) A personalized elmo coloring book (see below)
2) Small box of crayons – you can buy packs of 40 from Party City – also available at Walmart
3) Elmo stickers – The Dollar Store
3) Cute animal snack cups with gummy fruit inside – both from The Dollar Store or Deals (another type of dollar store)
Personalized Elmo Coloring Book for your party gift bags!
Below you will find the front and back covers that I made for the coloring books, which you can personalize. As well as a PDF of all the coloring book pages that I collected to include inside!
- This is the front cover of the coloring book. It is meant to be print along with the back image (next one down) on one letter size paper that you can put around your coloring book and then staple down the middle.
- This is the back cover of the coloring book. As I wrote above, print this on the same page as the front cover on a letter size sheet of paper.
Here is the coloring book outer cover with the front and back put together. You just need to personalize the names!
Print this image on a letter size sheet of paper for the full front and back cover of a personalized coloring book. For this link, do NOT right click and save the image. Instead, click on it and you can download the PDF.
Coloring book pages:
Click on this image to download a PDF to print 16 pages of elmo coloring book pages. These should be printed double sided on letter size paper. Once they are printed, put the cover page on top, and fold the entire thing in half. Then you can either stable down the middle or put a ribbon down the middle.
The following labels can be printed and put on red or yellow gift bags, respectively, to make cute Elmo and big bird party favor bags like I show above!
This one is personalizable
Here are links for full page PDFs of these stickers that are ready to print. Click on the image below, and then you can download a PDF that can be printed on a letter size sheet of paper.
Elmo Graphics
Here are several images of elmo that you can use to spruce up your party decorations. Click on each image to get the larger version of it, then right click and download it.

Hi there!,
You have a great site and awesome templates here. I am planning to do an Elmo Birthday for my son.
I just had a question: I see that you have mini Hersheys wrappers in here; I was thinking of giving the big Hershey’s chocolate as favors to adults; is it possible to use the same template that you have in here for the mini chocolate? Thanks in advance!
Oh My goodness thank you sooooo much! My son is gonna love this!
thanks i’m glad you like it! hope you guys have lots of fun!
I want to congratulate You once again for the hard work! I am also doing a party for my son Elmo theme I made handmade invites and paper bag goodie bags but I made way too many. If anyone is interested in getting these off my hands for a prize I will be happy to talk to you. Just request me my email!
Hi,

Thanks so much for your nice comment – and im glad you found stuff you can use! Please leave some pictures in our Flickr group
Thanks so much for sharing this info. We are celebrating my son’s second bday and we decided ELMO as his theme and I have all the information to make this party a good one
This is great. I am sending the information to my daughter-in-law for my grandson’s 2nd birthday. He absolutely loves Elmo.
hello i was wondering what dollar store your looking at Im in california and cant find much of anything at the dollar store and Ive looked at quite a few
hi sorry for the delay – the dollar stores I went to around ere are “Deals” and “Dollar Tree”
I usually go and just walk through all the isles to see what I find and what i can use for the parties. I usually end up with a fair amount of stuff that i wasn’t planning on but could substitute for what I was looking for. hope that helps!
Thank you for having so many printables! It helped me out SO much! I am having an Elmo party for my daughter next month and I was having a hard time finding printables at first until I came across your site
Wow I found this to be so useful and great. Thank you so very much
that’s great!! thanks for letting me know – I’m glad it helped you out!
Thank you – Thank you – Thank you…..for all the wonderful ideas! My son turns 2 next month and LOVES Elmo. I’ve already printed the candy bar wrappers and the “thank you” stickers for gift bags. I do have a question — how can I edit the invitation and the coloring book cover? I am able to save, but have been unable to edit the information.
Again – thank you so much – my son will have a blast at his Elmo party. Oh – I’ve decided to have a “fish” bar — different flavors of goldfish in fishbowls to celebrate Dorothy, Elmo’s goldfish…..
Hi julie
Thank you for your comments – I’m so glad I could help get ready for your son’s party! Sorry for the delay in replying – I was prepairing to go to the hospital to have my son when U wrote! I am up feeding him so I can’t check right now whether those files are jpgs or PDFs – but if they are jpgs u should be able to open them in various different programs and add a text box where the name would go. For example – PowerPoint, word, or any photo editing software that lets u add text to pictures (example: photoshop). Let me know if that doesn’t work!
I LOVE your fish bar idea by the way! That is perfect! You can also get rainbow goldfish which might be fun! I actually had several different types of goldfish but didn’t think about relating it to Dorothy. Brilliant!!
Enjoy the party and congrats to your son turning two!
Subha
I’m so excited to have found this info!! My daughter is having an Elmo party next month and this stuff is wonderful!! Thank you!!
So Awesome!! Exactly what I was looking for- thank you so much for sharing and helping many other mothers save their precious time!
My pleasure! Glad to help another mother out!
Hi! thank you for your blog, it is very helpful. I am now preparing for my son’s 2nd birthday and I am very glad to find your blog. Promise I will upload our pics… and I decided to add some idea like my guests will wear silly hats instead of the usual party hats because anyway, sesame street is a world of monsters so we will pretend we are monsters. Hope this will work.
great idea for the hats! cant wait to see pictures – good luck on the party!
Thank you so much for all the great ideas! I can’t wait to upload my pictures!
WOW!! That’s all I can say!! My little one’s 2nd bday party is this coming weekend & I’m so psyched to get started on all the awesome ideas you have here!!! You’ve done an amazing job!
First, I would like to thank you for posting all of this great stuff. I used your Elmo invitations for my son’s party for this weekend. I was wondering if you could tell me where you found the pic because I wanted to use the same pic but change it into thank you cards. I tried to do that with the one you provided but I couldn’t. I’m not sure if it’s possible but I just don’t know how to do it.
thanks for all of your help and suggestions
thanks sooooo much!! i have desperately been looking for Elmo themed party stuff without spending money and if i did very little. yet i wanted to make my little girls day super special. you are so talented thanks so much!
Your stuff is amazing! i am doing an elmo themed party and cant wait to use some of your ideas. A quick question for you. Is there a way i can type in the personaliation on any of your items? I click on them and it directs me right to the pdf Im not sure how to edit them. Any help would be great!
Hi there. Thanks / I’m glad u like everything! The PDFs are actually not editable (didn’t know how to do that back then!). So u can either handweite them in, or use a program like photoshop to open the PDF and put a text box on top of the image with your text in it. I hope that helps!
Can you please share what font you used on the invites? Thank you for sharing these!
Hi, sure. the font is called “teenage angst”
hope that helps!
thanks
subha

Hi Darislen,
THanks for your comment – i’m glad this is helping you! If you look a little farther up on the post, there are images (a red one of elmo’s face and a yellow one of big bird’s face) that you can print on sticker/label paper to put on favor bags. Just get red and yellow favor bags and put those stickers on! Hope that helps!
FABULOUS! Your very creative!!! My grandson is having his first and these ideas will truly help. !!
OMG!! thank u soo very much, my son 2nd bday is in 2weeks. I still need everything, this was very helpful to me. ThankU!

You are an inspiration to others who are trying to give there children a memorable birthday on a tight cash flow and even for those of us who just want to be able to be creative and to think outside of the box rather than giving in to the marketing attempts that lead many to believe that they must buy more for a “bigger “better” experience!!

that’s great! i’m glad the party was a hit! thanks for leaving a comment!
how do i get the coloring book pages to stay together?
Hi – I folded them in half and used a thin yarn to tie around the center. I wanted to avoid using staples!
Brilliant work!!! My son just turned 1, couple of days back. I did a jungle animals/ lion king theme…which turned out pretty well. He has a lot of Sesame Street books, so was browsing to get some ideas and bumped into your blog. Though it’s another year to go for his 2nd birthday, i think I hv hit the jackpot here for the birthday ideas
. Thanks a ton for sharing the ideas.
Thanks Shalini! Your party sounds like it was a lot of fun. I hope this page helps you out!

Savanna – thanks for your comment. THat really made my day! I’m gad I could help you in any way!
I love this! My daughter is doing Elmo for her 2nd birthday. I am heading to the Dollar store tomorrow to check if they have the Elmo balloons!
What program did you use to make the Elmo invitation? Do you have a copy of the invitation without the words? I’d like to add my own but love the graphics and colors you used. Let me know. Thanks so much.
Molly
thanks molly, that is so nice to hear! I am adding a blank jpg of the invitation to the blog post right now, as well as a PDF version where you can edit some of the text. i hope that is helpful!

thanks angela, i’m glad could help!
This is great I’m from Malta, Europe where most people hardly know about Elmo so I couldn’t find anything relating to Elmo for my daughters birthday party as she’s a huge fan. Thanks to you she’s getting her Elmo Themed party thank you very much!
Thanks juanita – i’m so glad I could help you out!
God bless you for being so gracious in sharing all your hard work with us. My granddaughter turns two in September and Elmo is the theme of her party. You have made it so exciting and affordable to do what my daughter wanted to create. Thank you again.
Thank you so much for your kind comment Carmen! It’s stories like yours that the time I spent putting this all together worth while! I hope your granddaughter thoroughly enjoys the party! Also check back soon – I will be putting up some new downloads where you can enter in your own text!
