Image Prompt: A vibrant Cookie Monster-themed baby shower setup showcasing the signature color palette—bright royal blue, chocolate brown, white, and pops of yellow. Display a dessert table with Cookie Monster’s googly eyes prominently featured on decorations. Include blue tablecloths, brown polka dot accents, and scattered chocolate chip cookie props. The atmosphere should feel cheerful, whimsical, and welcoming with plenty of Sesame Street charm. Soft overhead lighting creates a warm glow over the entire scene.

How to Do It

  • Start with your base colors: Royal blue for Cookie Monster himself, chocolate brown for cookies, white for contrast, and yellow accents for that Sesame Street pop
  • Create a color-blocked look by alternating blue and brown throughout your space—think blue tablecloth with brown napkins, or vice versa
  • Add texture with furry elements like blue fuzzy fabric, faux fur table runners, or fluffy pom-pom garlands
  • Budget estimate: $50–$80 for basic color-coordinated decorations from party supply stores
  • Pro tip: Hit up dollar stores for solid-colored plates and napkins—you’ll save a ton and can spend more on those special Cookie Monster touches

The beauty of this theme is how recognizable it is. The second guests see that brilliant blue with cookie elements, they’ll immediately get excited. I once helped set up a Cookie Monster shower where we used different shades of blue (royal, sky, navy) layered together, and it created this really dynamic look without much extra effort.

Image Prompt: An eye-catching balloon arch or garland featuring primarily royal blue balloons mixed with white, brown, and occasional yellow balloons. Include several balloons with Cookie Monster’s distinctive googly eyes attached—some looking straight ahead, others slightly crossed for that signature Cookie Monster expression. Add a few chocolate chip cookie-shaped mylar balloons scattered throughout. The installation should frame either the dessert table or entry area, creating an impressive focal point with a playful, bouncy feel.

How to Do It

  • Order a balloon garland kit in Cookie Monster colors (approximately 60–80 balloons for a 6-foot garland)
  • Purchase googly eye stickers (2–3 inches) and attach them to select blue balloons in various directions for that Cookie Monster personality
  • Add cookie-shaped mylar balloons (usually $3–$5 each) as accent pieces every 12–18 inches
  • Assembly time: 45 minutes to an hour if you’re new to balloon garlands
  • Hang using clear fishing line or command hooks to avoid wall damage
  • Budget-friendly alternative: Skip the arch and create smaller balloon bouquets for each table instead ($20–$30 total)

Balloons instantly elevate any party space, and this theme is perfect for them. The googly eyes on blue balloons? That simple touch gets laughs every single time. BTW, if you’re worried about your balloon-tying skills, most party stores now sell balloon decorating strips that make creating garlands super easy—total game-changer for us non-crafty folks!

“C Is for Cookie” Dessert Table Centerpiece

Image Prompt: An elaborate dessert table styled as Cookie Monster’s cookie paradise. Feature a three-tier display with the top tier showing a custom Cookie Monster cake with googly eyes and open mouth “eating” cookies. Middle tier displays chocolate chip cookies of various sizes—some decorated with blue icing, others with Cookie Monster faces. Bottom tier includes cookie-themed treats like cookie dough truffles and “cookie crumbs” (crushed Oreos). Incorporate a rustic wooden “C is for Cookie” sign. Blue furry fabric drapes parts of the table. Include milk bottles with blue and white striped straws. Everything should look abundant and delicious with that slightly chaotic Cookie Monster energy.

How to Do It

  • Choose your cake style: A Cookie Monster face cake (usually $75–$150 from bakeries) or a simpler two-tier cake decorated with blue frosting and Cookie Monster toppers ($40–$60)
  • Arrange cookies at different heights using cake stands, wooden crates, or overturned bowls covered with fabric
  • Create variety with different cookie types: classic chocolate chip, blue M&M cookies, cookies with Cookie Monster faces made from icing, and sugar cookies shaped like the letter “C”
  • Add milk serving options: Small glass bottles with striped paper straws or a beverage dispenser labeled “Cookie Monster’s Milk”
  • Include a “Cookie Crumb” station with crushed Oreos in small containers for sprinkling on desserts
  • Estimated dessert table budget: $150–$250 depending on whether you bake or buy cookies
  • Time-saving tip: Order a cookie assortment from a local bakery and add blue icing accents yourself—gives that custom look for less

I’ve seen guests go absolutely wild for well-styled dessert tables. There’s something about seeing all those treats displayed beautifully that just makes people happy. And with this theme, you can honestly go a little overboard with the cookies—it’s expected!

Image Prompt: A whimsical baby shower invitation featuring Cookie Monster peeking from one corner with his characteristic googly eyes and wide smile. The invitation should have a royal blue border with chocolate chip cookie illustrations scattered around the edges. Text area includes playful phrases like “C is for Cookie and C is for Celebration!” along with all shower details. Include small cookie crumbs graphic elements and maybe Cookie Monster’s furry texture as a subtle background. The design should balance fun with readability—cute but not cluttered.

How to Do It

  • Design digitally using Canva or similar platforms (many templates available for customization)
  • Key text elements to include: “C is for Cookie, and C is for [Baby’s Name]!” or “Me Want Celebrate Baby!”
  • Choose between digital or printed: Digital saves money and time ($0–$15 for premium templates), printed adds a special touch ($50–$80 for 30–40 invitations)
  • Add Cookie Monster personality with phrases like “Om Nom Nom…Baby Shower Time!” or “Me So Excited to Meet Baby!”
  • Include RSVP details clearly—consider using digital RSVP services to make tracking easier
  • Send 4–6 weeks in advance to give guests plenty of planning time
  • DIY option: Print invitations on cardstock at home and attach a real chocolate chip cookie in a clear bag for an extra surprise (add $20–$30 to budget)

The invitation sets the tone for your entire shower. When I received a Cookie Monster invitation once, it had a little packet of chocolate chips attached with a note saying “Save room for cookies at the shower!” I thought that was so clever and memorable.

A sign reads “Decorate a Cookie for Cookie Monster!” The scene should look organized but approachable—not intimidating for non-bakers.

How to Do It

Show guests laughing and participating, with some holding game cards and others gathered around the cookie jar making guesses. The atmosphere should feel lively and interactive with that competitive-but-friendly baby shower energy.

  • Time management: Plan 2–3 games throughout the shower, each taking 10–15 minutes

Games can make or break a shower’s energy. The key is choosing ones that don’t make anyone uncomfortable but still get people laughing. Cookie Monster-themed games have this built-in silliness that helps even shy guests participate.

The top tier features Cookie Monster’s face made from felt or foam—large googly eyes, black nose, and characteristic wide smile. Chocolate chip cookie props appear to be “floating” into his mouth, attached with clear string or ribbon. Blue furry trim wraps around each tier. Small baby items peek out—pacifiers, rattles, small toys—all coordinated in blue, brown, and white. The whole creation sits on a decorated base with scattered cookie props around the bottom.

  • Alternative: Create a simpler one-tier version focusing just on the Cookie Monster face for the top ($25–$35)

Diaper cakes always get “ooohs” and “ahhhs” when guests arrive. They’re surprisingly easier to make than they look, though I’ll admit my first attempt was a bit lopsided! The mom-to-be will appreciate having all those diapers, trust me.
