I am a lover of all things unique! After I created a one of kind Science Gender Reveal 2 years ago, I knew if I ever had another child, I would do something just as different. Move over cake reveals and balloon boxes, enter my volcano theme gender reveal with elements of a luau to boot.
This party is fun and unique a crowd pleaser for adults and kids! The colors are vibrant and the effect is easy to achieve. We had a blast doing this reveal!
A simple and sweet surprise Twinkle Twinkle Little Star gender reveal party.
Danielle, my sister and business partner of Palm Beach Lately, and my friend Ashleigh of Liza McKay co-hosted an al fresco pineapple-themed dinner party with strung lights and candlelight to celebrate the reveal of my baby girl.
Since this was our first baby we wanted to host a gender reveal party for all our close friends and family. Only my best friend knew the gender of the baby so she had a bakery make cupcakes filled with blue or pink filling. After everyone arrived the gender of the baby was revealed by my husband and I biting into a cupcake that had either blue (boy) or pink (girl) in the center. It’s a BOY!
We decided to have a gender reveal party with our family and friends to announce whether we were having a boy or girl!
Brooklyn is turning 1, and while we have all of our family and friends gathered, we are going to find out the gender of Brooklyn’s sibling that is due February 20th, 2013!
We had a unique way to announce our pregnancy to our parents so we wanted to do something equally as unique to let them know the gender of the baby.
We ended up creating scratch-off cards to reveal the gender. We wanted to do something different than what we have seen other couple’s do but keep it really casual. We asked our parents to sit around the table, gave them a coin and waited for their response.
We threw a party for our closest friends & family, to find out the gender of our first baby. We had everyone choose a side, boy or girl, & wear pink or blue according to their guess. We went through the old wives tales to see what the old wives tales had to say about what our baby would be! We kept a tally on a chalk board, along with everyones votes. At one point during the party, we had everyone seperate into two teams, team pink & team blue. They had to draw what they thought our baby would look like. Their drawings were hilarious!We did not know the gender of our baby before the party. We had the ultrasound tech write it down & put it in a sealed envelope. I then gave the envelope to a dear friend & she made a cake, that had either pink or blue filling, according to what the tech wrote in the envelope. We cut the cake to reveal the gender, & it was a GIRL! It was so much fun finding out this big secret with our friends & family :) more on our blog: anwjohnston.blogspot.com
A summer-time pinwheels and pennants gender reveal party.
Our nursery space is on the smaller side, 10′ x 10′. We capitalized on usage of space by removing the closet doors to create a changing/ dressing nook. The goal was to make the space comfortable and practical for both baby and parents.
We threw a party to announce (and find out ourselves) the gender of our first baby. (A boy!) At our 20 week ultrasound, we had the ultrasound tech write on a piece of paper if it was a boy or girl and put it in a sealed envelope with the gender revealing ultrasound pictures. I quickly took the envelope to a close friend to look inside and order a cake with pink or blue filling. I’ve heard rumors of people taking the envelope to the bakery without someone looking and the bakery made the wrong colored cake or they lost the envelope, so I had a friend look at it to make sure it was correct. At the party, I had a betting pool where people could bet $ on the date/time/weight of the baby when he is born. There was an opportunity for people to vote on the sex and then I drew a name out of the correct boy/girl jar and they won a prize. I had a couple baby pictures of me and my husband up, my pregnancy journal, and old wives tales on what the gender may be, available for people to read for fun.
My dear friends, who have struggled with infertility, are expecting their 1st child in October (a boy named Keller), and are moving out of town before the baby is due. Since I couldn’t throw them a shower I wanted to help celebrate this baby by throwing them a gender reveal party. After a yummy dinner the gender of the baby was revealed to the parents and guests by everyone biting into a cupcake that had either blue (boy) or yellow (girl) in the center.By the way….they are having a BOY!
I am an event planner and my cousin, the guest of honor, is the principle designer for Three, an invitation/paper product company she owns with her sister and mom. The invitation for the shower was designed by her sister. My cousin and her husband decided to keep the gender of their baby a surprise but this is their first baby and they had zero baby supplies. As a result, we decided to plan a dual gender shower for both a boy and a girl as opposed to a gender neutral shower. The parents had already picked out the name Layla for a girl and Drake for a boy, so we split the room in two and decorated one table with all things boy and the other all things girl! We tried to split up the foods into “boy” foods and “girl” foods but when my husband saw the veggies on the boy table he promptly informed us that vegetables are NOT boy food. They matched the boy table better so we left them. What does he know anyway? We did a fondue bar on both tables with veggies, chips and dirt cups on the boy table and fruit, cake balls and tea sandwiches on the girl table. Since the guest of honor didn’t know what she was having, some guests opted to bring money or gift cards instead of gifts. We were prepared with a money “tree” (bird cage) at the sign in table where guests could hang their cards or money. Guests were also encouraged to decorate neutral onesies for the baby-to-be. We printed out pictures to help guests with ideas and provided scraps of fabric, an iron and ironing board and a iron-on adhesive for guests to use to decorate.
My husband and I hosted a Gender Reveal party for our baby girl!
We had a Gender Reveal Party to announce the gender of our baby girl to our family and friends.
I had no idea what the sex of our baby was yet, so we had the ultrasound tech. write the sex on a card and place it in a sealed envelope, and we took that to our baker, who then filled the cake with the color filling that matched the sex of the baby…. our baby BOY! so it was filled with blue, it was a really fun & emotional way to find out, I’m really happy we did it this way! I didnt want a baby shower, but still wanted a party, and this was perfect!!
Since we had a gender reveal dinner for our son, when we found out we were expecting our second, who we called Pea Pod, I knew we had to do the same. Also the planning made waiting to find out a little easier. After we had our elective early gender scan at 16 weeks and found out the gender of our little “Pea Pod” we gathered our close family and friends at my parents home and decorated with gender neutral green pea pods. I ordered cupcakes froma friend of a friend and had the centers filled with the correct color frosting, and we had a cook out. After everyone finished eating they were allowed to bite into the cupcake and find out “Its a GIRL!”
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!
We wanted to do something really fun to announce our baby’s gender, so we decided to have friends and family over for a fun “Gender Reveal” party!
