Gender Reveal

Gender Reveal Party Tips!

Your little bundle of joy is on the way and you couldn’t be more thrilled. Whether this is your first child or another addition to your wonderful family, you want to mark this moment with something amazing. A Gender Reveal Party is all the rage and you are ready to start planning yours now.

Some tips toward creating the perfect gender reveal party.

  • Pick a date that is around your 20-week ultrasound. In case that little one is a bit shy, it’s a good idea to leave a little wiggle room after your ultrasound. After you’ve got your date scheduled, make sure you send out your invitations a month in advance, which will allow your guests to plan for any travel arrangements they might need to make to attend your party.
  • If you are planning to be as surprised as your guests on your big day, then it’s a good idea to choose a trusted accomplice who can handle any hiccups when it comes to ordering the surprise reveal party supplies. You definitely want someone who can keep a secret—even from you! Your ultrasound technician will happily assist you in keeping the secret. Just provide them an envelope to write the baby’s sex on a piece of paper to seal in the envelope. Then you can hand this precious information off to your trusted pal to commence with the surprises. The fewer people that know the sex of the baby—the better!
  • Start looking for ideas on gender reveal party themes and decide on the theme that is perfect for you. You can let your guests know the theme of your party by choosing coordinating invitations. Don’t limit yourself to just pink and blue. There are other gender neutral and modern themes such as a yellow and grey chevron design, or orange and navy. Once you have decided on a theme, make sure to order your supplies early and give yourself enough time to put things together and to decorate. You are pregnant and you don’t want to be stressed or rushing around when it comes time to get ready for the big gender reveal. This is supposed to be fun—not stressful!
  • If you are planning on some special effects such as, balloon reveals, powder cannons, or smoke cannons, you can do a test run to make sure everything is set up perfectly. This can also help your photographer set up and capture the moment without missing a beat.

While at the party, it’s a great idea to involve your guests as much as possible. Everyone is there to share in the joy of the new family member, so let them be a real part of the event. Have your guests cast their vote for the sex of the baby, let your guest “dress their guess” in the color scheme of the gender they suspect. Prepare fun games that revolve around guessing the gender of the baby and even send them home with a special favor to mark the moment. Pinterest is your best friend when it comes to your party planning.

For those far away loved ones who couldn’t be there, you can share the pictures on social media. If you really want to involve those who are far away, you can even live stream the reveal on Facebook. Whatever you choose, this party is about your family and the new arrival soon to come and all the love that everyone around you shares. Make it a special day for you and your loved ones by throwing a fun and memoriable Gender Reveal Party.

Baby Harvey – A Gender Reveal Party Story

 

Michelle and Erik’s gender reveal party was definitely one for the books! Michelle planned a big gender reveal party for all her friends and family! She had 60 friends and family come to help her celebrate and be there for their big reveal! She also live streamed it on Facebook so her friends and family that couldn’t physically be there with them could still be a part of the fun! I love that idea! When I had my gender reveal party we had close friends and family that couldn’t make it and lived states away. They were just as bummed about it as we were, and I wish I would have been able to live stream it with them! As it was we FaceTimed in my sister! So, when it got close to time for the big reveal, Michelle set up a tripod with her phone so everyone could be there with her and Erik. Michelle and Erik set out pink and blue necklaces for their guests to wear to show if their guess for the baby was boy or girl. Although many came dressed in pink or blue already!

Michelle and Erik purchased whopping 56 confetti cannons! They wanted a HUGE confetti cloud to announce to everyone if their sweet baby to be was a little miss or mister! I love how they had enough cannons for everyone to be included. As everyone was getting ready Michelle warned everyone not to twist their confetti cannon until their count down began. Our confetti cannons are very easy to use! All you have to do is hold the cannon with both hands, point the cannon towards and sky, twist the bottom of the canister and BOOM! You will be showered in a cloud of pink or blue confetti. In Michelle and Erik’s case they were showered in the biggest blue confetti cloud I have ever seen! They had 54 cannons go off at the same time. I don’t think I have ever seen so much blue confetti in my life! Luckily for Michelle our confetti cannons are biodegradable making clean up a breeze!

One big question we get asked frequently is how do we know what color confetti is inside the cannon and how can we hide this from everyone until the reveal? Our confetti cannons are discreetly marked with a black number indicating the color inside the cannon. So, your secret is safe with us until those confetti cannons are popped!

Congratulations Michelle and Erik on your sweet baby boy and throwing an unforgettable gender reveal party!
