Gender Reveal Games & Food

We all know the only reason people come to a gender reveal party is to find out what the happy couple is having. 

But why stop there? Make your gender reveal party something special for everyone to remember. 

Food:

Our family is a VERY helpful kind of family. I had made out a list of what was going to be served at the party, and we are so lucky that our Mothers, Grandma, and Sisters took care of all the food items on that list. (Which also made a VERY easy clean up)

This was an idea that I got from another blogger. Buy Hershey bars and then color in He in blue She in pink. It's just something cute for everyone to oooo and awww over. 

The food table complete with everything Sarah (myself) has been craving. Naturally this isn't everything I've been craving just the easy things to prepare. 

Cravings: S'mores poptarts, chocolate chip cookies, potato salad, and pasta salad. The fruit didn't make the table in time for the picture, but it was there. :)

Games:

Lets make your family and friends wait longer by making them having vote on what the happy couple is having.

Voting-

Each person had to write their name on a mini onesie as to what they thought we were having. This was made mainly for those who thought to wear pink and blue to the party, so at the end they still had to vote boy or girl!

This chart was made with the same scrapbooking paper as the invites and decorations. Poster board was also purchased at the Dollar Tree for $.50

Gender Reveal Decorations

I wanted the decorations to be cute, but easy on the wallet. 

I used the scrap-booking paper that I had used for the invites to make onesies. I then hung the onesies on a ribbon above our doorway.

The color theme was pink and blue, just so we could have our guest still wondering what we were having.

The snack table. 

This part was very easy and I didn't have to spend much. The paper goods I got at our local Dollar Tree Store, along with the candy dishes, plastic table cloth, and decor stones. The flowers and vase I already had at the house.

I also used this lovely picture frame that was given to us as a housewarming gift to display our baby's pictures at 18wks and 20wks.

I hope this helps with your upcoming gender reveal party. 

Gender Reveal Party Invites

Baby Felps will be here before we know it, and let me tell you; I'm excited!

Having a Baby is a very exciting time for everyone in the family, so I wanted to get everyone involved with our pregnancy. 

I was looking up Baby Shower ideas and came across a gender reveal party. It looked like something that everyone would enjoy and what better way to get ALL the family together. So, I talked to my husband and he was more than willing to through our little one a party. 

I've been working really hard on the invitations and finally got them done.

Here's a peak at the invitations.

I think they turned out pretty good.

Gender Reveal Party

While looking at baby shower ideas, I came across a very much exciting idea. A gender reveal party!

I feel as though calling,texting, or emailing about something that's so important like a new baby is just not the way to do it.

So, Jim agreed to have a gender reveal party, now this party will take place as soon as we find out what we are having. And I'm sorry to say that only family will be able to come. Just because we have lots of friends and not a lot of places to put everyone comfortably. :)

ANYWAYS, I'm very excited to have this party 1) to finally find out what we are having 2) to see the excitement in our families when we tell them.

I have soo many ideas for this party I can hardly contain myself! So I thought blogging about it will help me.
