My husband and I are expecting our first baby in October and decided to throw a Gender Reveal Party to share the news of what we were having with friends and family! It's a Boy!
Design Inspiration:
I decided to do a Blue and Pink theme so I just kept my eyes peeled for blue and pink items when I would go shopping. I also got inspiration from DIY blogs.
Decorating Style:
Simple yet fun!
Project Details:
For this project, I looked at many different websites and blogs. I got inspiration from a few other ladies that I knew that had done this typ of party before. I made all the decorations and desserts myself. I love DIY projects!
Favorite Items:
My favorite decorations that I made for the party were the "party poms"! They're easy to make and look great!
Advice:
Have fun with everything and DIY decorations are really easy to make! Give it a shot!

Kudos to you for making everything DIY! Your decorations look fun, and I like that you didn’t go overboard. So how did you reveal your baby’s gender? Through the color of the icing inside your cupcakes, as seen in one of the photos?

Yes, everyone bit into their cupcakes at the same time for the reveal! We just injected blue icing into the middle of the cupcakes before icing them.

Very cute! What was the blue juice? I’m having a boy shower and the colors are turquoise and lime green. I’ve been trying to think of what drink to use that’s blue.

i love the idea of a gender reveal party! and the blue icing is great. well done :) and at gg4jc: maybe have lemonade with a few drops of blue food colouring?
gg4jc
that sounds like a good idea missStephanie4 ;-) thanks!

gg4jc- Sorry I am just now responding to your question! The blue drink was actually blue Kool-Aid. They have 2 or 3 different blue flavors. Hawaiian Punch also makes a blue punch!

The cookies are precious! I love them, wish I had thought of that for our daughter’s gender reveal this past June
I am a daughter, a friend, a wife and a soon to be new mommy! I am due October 2011 and couldn't be more excited! I love crafts and am currently hand making all the decorations for our Gender Reveal party! I will post pics after the party.
