Why have one party when you can have two? The
traditional baby shower is a fun event for expecting parents to gather with
friends and family prior to the baby's arrival. More recently another baby bash
is making a name for itself: gender reveal parties. These parties usually occur
more so in the beginning of the pregnancy and are a great way for parents to
announce the gender of their baby! Much like baby showers they may include
games, gifts, and of course tons of yummy food! Finding out the gender of your
baby is a gift in itself and as happy as you were to find out, your family is
sure to be just as excited! Here are some ideas to make your gender reveal
party the sweetest celebration of the year!
#1 Pick Teams
Here’s what’s hot! Themes, games,
favors, and posting on Pinterest are all the rage. Have your guests pick Team
Pink or Team Blue and come dressed with those colors to the party. Use fake
mustaches for the boys’ team and paper lips for the girls’ team to hold up.
Don’t forget to take hilarious photos to post!
#2 Bite Into A Cupcake
Even surprise yourself!
Have someone seal the gender in an envelope and have your favorite bakery fill
with the appropriate filling inside a cake or cupcakes. “It was a blast when we
bit into the cupcake and had no idea what was inside!”
#3 Break Open
A Piñata
Fill it with blue or pink M&M’s, Gummy bears and all
kinds of color matched candy and confetti. You, your husband or even another
child can break open the piñata!
#4 Balloons
In A Box
Decorate a big box and fill
it with helium balloons. “When we broke it open… They rose out everyone
screamed with excitement!”
