How to get to Hattie Street
This past weekend, we celebrated our daughter Hattie’s second birthday with a Sesame Street-themed party that was anything but ordinary. The vibrant aesthetic wasn’t muted, but it also wasn’t the classic rainbow—it was fresh, playful, and perfectly balanced. Here’s a closer look at all the insane details that made this celebration a Pinterest-worthy event, hosted by Backyard Bash in Orlando, Florida.
Guests entered through towering balloon columns topped with a custom “Hattie Street” sign, welcoming them into the festivities. A bubble machine added an extra layer of fun to the entrance, making it a magical moment from the start. This charming setup was brought to life by Backyard Bash, setting the tone for an unforgettable day.
Elmo’s Coloring Corner and More

Elmo’s Coloring Corner: A cozy space filled with crayons, loose coloring sheets (kept in place by scattered wooden blocks), and plenty of inspiration for budding artists.
The Bounce House: A 15x15 white bounce house with a slide, adorned with a colorful balloon garland, was a hit with the kids. Provided by Backyard Bash, it added both fun and style to the event.
The Dessert Cart
The dessert station was as visually stunning as it was delicious. A mix of treats from local vendors showcased creativity and flavor:
Cookie Monster Doughnuts from The Salty, stuffed with cookie dough for an indulgent twist.
Homemade Pop-Tarts, baseball sized, chocolate chip cookies, cake pops and a stunning cake by Bee.You.Tee&Bliss.
Custom Sesame Street cookies from Lexie’s Custom Sweets
Cupcakes from the always reliable, Publix
The desserts were displayed on a Backyard Bash Display Cart, accented by striped napkins, sun-shaped plates, and treat bags featuring quotes from Sesame Street characters. A playful Elmo bucket floral arrangement tied the whole setup together.
Sunny Days, Sippin’ the Clouds Away
The adults enjoyed an impressive selection of themed cocktails, each with its own clever nod to Sesame Street characters:
Abby’s Magic Martini: Lavender, mint, and vodka, finished with a pink sugar rim.
The Grouchy Mule: A Moscow mule served in a mini tin trashcan with a green striped straw.
Splish Splash Sipper: A blue margarita topped with a floating rubber ducky, a whimsical detail that delighted guests.
Big Bird’s Bourbon: A classic Old Fashioned, served with a yellow feather clipped to the glass.
The custom napkins that read “Sunny days, sippin’ the clouds away” added a perfect finishing touch to the bar.
The Show Stopping Backdrop
The centerpiece of the event was a stunning custom backdrop designed to wow:
A hollow arch with pink and coral balloons winding through it.
A 7-foot Sesame Street house backdrop created by Kristen Welch with House of Ivy.
A favor wall, complete with a green and white striped awning and a “Hattie’s Store” sign, inspired by Hooper’s Store. Pink favor boxes with custom tags, each featuring a Sesame Street character, were displayed on the wall and thanked guests for celebrating Hattie’s special day. Custom favor bag tags that were designed by Backyard Bash.
To complete the look, life-sized character cutouts of Big Bird, Elmo, and Abby Cadabby brought Sesame Street to life.
Food and Fun for Everyone
Guests enjoyed a delicious spread from a pizza food truck and a grazing table, provided by 143 Wood Fired Pizza, offering something for everyone.
Elmo’s Surprise Visit
The highlight for many of the kids was a special visit from Elmo himself! Elmo made his way through Hattie Street to greet the little partygoers, creating magical moments for everyone. While the birthday girl wasn’t Elmo’s biggest fan, her friends couldn’t get enough of their favorite Sesame Street character. Watching their excitement made the visit one of the most unforgettable parts of the day!
