Gender Reveal Party

Having a Gender Reveal Party for your friends and family is becoming increasingly popular, and for good reason! Revealing the gender of your baby is a wonderful moment in life to celebrate and remember forever! If you're unfamiliar with the concept of a Gender Reveal Party, it is simply a party where everyone finds out the sex of an unborn child at the same time.

The Balloon Reveal is one of the most popular choices for revealing the gender of your child. If you want to find out the sex of the baby at the same time as your guests ask the ultrasound technician to write down the gender of the baby and seal it in an envelope. You can then take that sealed envelope to your local balloon vendor an ask them to fill an empty box with the color of balloons that corresponds with the gender in the envelope. Have them place the balloons and envelope inside the box and seal it up tight. Then, during your party you can open the box for a wonderful surprise!

Gender reveal poppers or other confetti based reveals are also a fun surprise! Just make sure you have a broom or vacuum handy for easy clean up.

Food reveals are a fun and delicious way to announce the gender at your Gender Reveal Party. Whether it's colored centers in a cake, cookies, or candy, you're guests are sure to love the surprise and the treat!

Quick, Easy Baby Shower Games

Quick, Easy Baby Shower Games

 

Hosting a baby shower and managing a busy life? Here are some great ideas for quick, easy baby shower games that will enhance your shower without enhancing your stress level!  

1. Guess how many Jelly Beans filled the baby bottle. Buy a baby bottle, fill it with Jelly Beans and have your guests write down their guesses. At the end of the party reveal the winner! (Count the jelly beans as you put them in the bottle so you won't have to waste time counting during the shower.) 
2. Frozen Baby! Freeze miniature babies in ice cubes and put one in each guests drink. Instruct them to yell "My water broke!" when their ice melts and their baby is free. 
3. Blindfolded Diaper Changing. Get a couple baby dolls and some newborn diapers. Blindfold two guests and have them race each other to see who can put a diaper on a doll the fastest!
4. How big will the mom-to-be's belly be? Have all of your guests cut off a piece of twine or ribbon in the length they think will wrap around the mom-to-be's belly. Then measure the mom-to-be and compare ribbon lengths to see who's ribbon is the closest in length!
