Sienna Street - A Second Birthday Extravaganza

After a blow out "breakfast in bed" bash for my daughter's 1st birthday (complete with customized embroidered pajamas for each guest), my husband begged me to plan a more "low key" gym and pizza party for my little one. Being in the PR and event planning business for a living, it's hard to not get super involved with all of the little details, so I immediately reached out to my trusted vendors and went to work on what I enjoy doing most - planning fabulous and fun get togethers! Our little lady is obsessed with anything Elmo and Sesame Street right now so I immediately thought to build out her very own "Sienna Street", complete with life-sized cutouts of her favorite characters, a fun bounce house and trampoline, a Sesame Street glitter tattoo station, a musical performance with all of her favorite "Sunny Days" hits and a full gymnasium for the kiddos to run amuck! Guests enjoyed delectable food and beverages including an incredible tasting confetti cake, mini Sesame Street-themed cupcakes, character cake pops, Oscar the Grouch's garbage cans with gummy worms and Cookie Monster's milk and cookies to name a few of the highlights! Everyone had a blast, including the birthday girl who never wanted the party to end, and kids left with custom character t-shirts with their names on them to remind them of the fun that they had. A great time was had by all!

• What People Ate

  An assortment of sandwiches from the famed Murray's Cheese Shop in NYC, as well as beautifully arranged crudité and mezze platters, breakfast pastries and fruit and delicious salads.
