Gender Reveal

A yellow book-themed gender reveal with lots of cheerful details.

2016 Collection

In anticipation of our first child, we decided to host a gender reveal party for our family and close friends in the beautiful Florida weather! We kept to a budget of about $200 and asked guests to bring a finger food to share in lieu of gifts. We also asked guests to make their vote known by dressing in either pink or white if they thought it was a girl or blue or green if they thought it was a boy.  Then we took pictures of the two teams before we revealed the gender. It was such a special day and an exciting way to share the news about our baby’s gender! (It’s a boy!)

We decided to wait and find out the gender of our first baby with friends and family. It was a beautiful spring day perfect for an outdoor balloon pop reveal. We sipped on spiked lemonade and tasted fruit kabobs and ham + swiss sliders. After visiting the cupcake buffet, everyone was ready for the big reveal. We streamed it live to friends and family who couldn’t attend. It was a big surprise to mom to find out we were having a baby girl and we cherish the memories we made the day we found out.

This design was a surprise to my client and friend. They did not know the sex of the baby or see the room until they returned home from the hospital! It was a fun creative project unlike any other I have done for the blog!

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!

Our friends were finding out the gender of their second baby in October, so I knew we had to do something fun with pumpkins. We set up a photo booth with props, pumpkin painting for the kids and stations to carve. Each family brought their own pumpkin to carve. We all placed our prediction and were excited to see what the Vela’s would carve. After enjoying taco soup and dessert the Vela’s revealed their mustache carved pumpkin to let us all know they are having another boy!

I was lucky to have some wonderful party girls/friends help me plan my ‘ties or tutus’ gender reveal party! Since this will be our last kiddo, I thought it would be fun to do something that I’ve never done with our other 3 children. I knew right away that I wanted to style this party using the colors yellow & gray! Our 20+ guests indulged in yummy desserts, tasty appetizers, and 3 different fruit spritzers. Drinks were served in milk bottles, and yummy mixed greens were eaten out of Mason jars. Our beautiful cake announced the gender of our 4th baby! We were so excited to finally tell our family & close friends that we are expecting another boy! Cupcakes, cookies, marshmallow pops, chocolate covered pretzels, and cake pops were among the several delicious desserts offered! I created a simple backdrop of yellow, white, and gray paper fans, and refurbished an old dresser I purchased from goodwill, and made it our dessert table! I collected empty wine bottles from my girlfriends, and turned them into simple centerpieces. I had so much fun styling & shooting my party! I worked with a great team of party/dessert vendors – I can’t thank them enough for all their beautiful talent, and delicious creations!
