My Lovely Chloe & Zoe’s Sesame Street Adventure
“DIY Sesame Street Twins Joint Birthday Party”
When my twins, Chloe and Zoe, turned one, I wanted to throw them a party that was as bright and cheerful as their little personalities. What better way to celebrate than with a Sesame Street-themed birthday? Bert and Ernie were practically the mascots of their first year (seriously, their giggles every time I played the Sesame Street theme song were unforgettable). Since twins mean double the planning but also double the joy, I knew I had to get creative, stay on a budget, and make it a day to remember.

If you’re also planning a Sesame Street Twin Joint Birthday party, buckle up because I’m here to share my tips, ideas, and free invitation templates to make your party planning a breeze. Let’s walk through everything you need to host a memorable celebration, starting with the invitations (because every party needs an amazing first impression, right?).
Free Sesame Street Twin Joint Birthday Invitations
First things first—let’s talk about invitations. Designing custom invites for twins can get pricey fast. I remember getting quotes for custom designs that nearly made me choke on my coffee. But then I thought, “Why not create something just as cute but completely free?” That’s how I came up with the Sesame Street Twins Birthday Invitation templates.
The template I used (and am sharing with you!) features bright, sunny colors, adorable illustrations of Bert and Ernie, and cheerful bunting flags that scream celebration. Each template is fully customizable, so you can easily add your twins’ names and party details without spending a cent. Trust me, there’s nothing like saving money and still having something that looks professionally designed.
In case you’re wondering, these templates come in multiple designs to suit any style. My favorite features a playful baseball theme with Bert holding a bat and Ernie pitching, making it perfect for twins who are already a dynamic duo. Plus, the bold yellow backdrop with pops of green and blue practically radiates happiness! Guests even complimented me on how cute and unique the invitations were (and no one guessed they were free).
Why should you use these templates? Well, aside from being budget-friendly, they’re easy to use and add a personal touch that sets the tone for the party. And let’s face it, when you’re juggling twins and planning a party, anything that saves time and money is a lifesaver. So, let’s just say these invitations are my little gift to you.

Turning Your Home into Sesame Street
Once the invitations were sorted, I turned my attention to decorations. For Chloe and Zoe’s party, I wanted a space that felt like stepping right onto Sesame Street without draining my wallet. With a little creativity and some trips to the dollar store, I managed to transform our living room into a colorful wonderland.
I used poster boards in bold primary colors to create a makeshift Sesame Street sign with their names. A green “123 Chloe & Zoe” plaque hung front and center, and it was so easy to make with a printer, scissors, and glue. Streamers in red, blue, yellow, and green draped across the ceiling added a festive vibe, and oversized balloons brought everything to life.

Of course, no Sesame Street party is complete without some furry friends. I printed out large cutouts of Big Bird, Elmo, Cookie Monster, and Oscar the Grouch and taped them to cardboard stands. It was like the gang had joined us for the celebration! And the pièce de résistance? A photo booth corner with a Bert and Ernie backdrop where guests could take fun pictures.

If you’re hosting in your backyard, the possibilities for fun are endless! One of my favorite ideas is to set up a sandbox and transform it into “Oscar’s Trash Can” digging station. It’s such a creative nod to Sesame Street, and trust me, kids absolutely love getting their hands dirty (in the best way, of course!). You can fill the sandbox with “trash” treasures like small toys, faux gems, or even little themed trinkets for them to dig up. Bonus points if you provide mini shovels or scoops—it’s like a treasure hunt and sandbox adventure all rolled into one!
Party Games to Delight the Little Guests
“Coloring Pages to the Rescue”
Every great party needs activities to keep the kiddos entertained, and for our Sesame Street party, the coloring station was a huge hit. I mean, what kid doesn’t love crayons and an endless supply of paper? I found free Sesame Street-themed coloring pages online and printed out sheets with characters like Elmo, Big Bird, and Abby Cadabby.

I set up a small table with markers, crayons, and even some glitter glue (because why not?). The kids were thrilled to color their favorite characters, and their masterpieces made adorable keepsakes. My personal favorite was when one little guest decided to give Oscar a pink trash can and a tiara. Talk about a creative twist!
What I loved most about this activity was how it catered to all ages. While the toddlers colored to their hearts’ content, the older kids added their artistic flair. It was also a great way for parents to catch a break while their little ones were completely engrossed. Plus, the clean-up was a breeze compared to some of the other activities we had planned (I’m looking at you, bubble machine).
Ending on a Sweet Note: The Cake and Party Food
Let’s be real—the cake is the star of any birthday party. For Chloe and Zoe, I went with a two-tiered Sesame Street-themed cake featuring their favorite characters. The bottom tier had vibrant fondant stripes in primary colors, while the top featured a fondant recreation of the Sesame Street sign with their names. It was almost too cute to eat (almost).

For the party food, I kept it simple but on theme. “Elmo’s Pizza Bites” and “Oscar’s Trash Can Snacks” (mini sandwiches wrapped in green paper) were a hit with both the kids and parents. And don’t forget the dessert table! “Cookie Monster Cupcakes” with blue frosting and googly eyes were the first to go. If baking isn’t your thing, don’t stress. Store-bought cupcakes with simple toppers can be just as adorable, and no one will mind. After all, the goal is to enjoy the day, not spend hours in the kitchen.
Bringing It All Together
Looking back, Chloe and Zoe’s Sesame Street Twin Joint Birthday party was everything I hoped it would be: joyful, colorful, and filled with laughter. The best part wasn’t the decorations or the cake—it was the memories we created together. And that’s what I hope for you as you plan your own celebration.
Whether you’re using my free invitation templates, creating budget-friendly decor, or setting up fun activities like coloring pages, just remember: it doesn’t have to be perfect to be magical. Your kids will cherish the effort and love you put into their special day, and so will you.
