The day finally came for the Elmo Train Party Palooza Extravaganza. This was one dazzling and spectacular event. I have been planning this party with one quite extraordinary Mom, Jessy, for about 6 months. Jessy is a rock star on so many levels. She is a Super Mom to 6 young children, helps run a successful business, is ridiculously gorgeous and the cherry on top is she LOVES to throw parties:) I am always working on something for one of her events and I am always honored. Jessy is also extremely organized and an unbelievable planner. Truly amazing and the cat’s meow to work with:)
This party was a combined birthday party for a son turning 3 and a daughter turning 2. Son loves trains more than anything and daughter is wild for Elmo. A bit of a challenge to combine the two, but I was able to come up with many ways to make it all cohesive and adorable.
My favorite artist, Joie, (like the boy’s name, but a girl..LOL) was able to create an Elmo in an Engineer Hat which became the starting point for my partyware designing. I used lots of bandana prints to coordinate it all. We also used a vibrant color scheme to make everything pop and to keep it all kid oriented and FUN!
Enjoy the pictures. There are tons of them. Jessy outdid herself on this one. Balloon artist, candy buffet, bouncy house and yes, she had an actual train come to this shindig to offer rides on the Elmo Train Express.
To see all that planning fall into place is, well, amazing.










































Thank you for the fabulous feature, Shannon. Today is actually my birthday-what a sweet surprise this is!
Thank you for featuring my birthday party! It was the party event of the year! Although Kristy and I are ALWAYS trying to top them!
Kristy is the BEST person I have ever met.. well we haven’t actually met, but it feels like we’ve been friends for YEARS! We are like party planning soul sisters! She is fabulous to work with.. so get on over to her website everyone and make your parties FAB!!!!!
Such a creative party. I’m not a huge elmo fan, but every detail was not missed. Great job!!!
This is really cute! I really like your theme and how consistent you’ve made this party. I personally love Elmo and its really nice to attend one someday.
I grew up with Sesame Street and I think it was one of the best TV shows ever made. Big bird and Kermit, Burt and Ernie were all favorites when I was growing up. But I never liked Elmo. The character just seemed pretty poor compared to the others. Yes, my friends, Elmo is boring. Sorry. I know this will offend some of Elmo fans out there but it’s the truth. I regularly keep up to date with kids websites such as http://www.DozenKids.com, where Sesamestreet’s website was ranked as the top E-Learning. Well deserved.
