If you haven't heard of "gender reveal" parties yet, allow me to enlighten you. Gender reveal parties are the newest trend designed to reveal the gender of a baby to the guests (and often the parents) in a party setting. When parents go in for the ultra sound, they ask their nurse to put the gender of the baby in a sealed envelope. The parents then give the envelope to a bakery which makes a cake dyed in pink or blue and covers it in frosting to hide the color. At the party the parents cut into the cake revealing the gender of the baby to the parents and guests! Yay! Isn't that such a fun way to share the gender of your future kiddo?
I'm not big on surprises (I AM big on guessing surprises) so chances are I will not be patient enough to wait to cut a cake, but I love the idea of putting a blue or pink colored jelly bean inside a cupcake and having all the guests take a bite at the same time to find out the gender!
There are so many fun ways to celebrate gender reveal parties. I have seen guests wear either a pink or blue t-shirt to show what they think the gender of the baby will be and I have also seen these parties done in a whole range of colors other than pink and blue such as orange and yellow, pink and green and purple and pink.
Or, you can opt to use a neutral palatte like photographer
Jessica Liane did for her baby's gender reveal party! The only gender specific colors she used are inside the cake! This party is a favorite of mine because Jessica had a budget and stuck with it! Just one more example that you don't have to spend the big bucks to design a gorgeous party!
Guests were encouraged to cast their vote on which gender they thought the baby would be.
This is such a great idea for not only a gender reveal party but also a baby shower...the food was inspired by Jessica's cravings during her pregancy!
Jessica found florals at Michaels for 50% off to make her arrangements...they look real to me!
It's a boy! Notice the blue piece of cake?!
