The emotion of revealing the gender of the baby in your belly
cannot be explained in words. And what better ways to make it happen that at a
gender reveal party. Well, the concept is not new to folks, but what’s new is
how you organize the party and what the unique ways in which you can reveal the
gender. And the party becomes more exciting when no one, I mean no one in the
family has a clue about what’s happening!
The best part about a gender reveal party is not just the
revealing part but being surrounded by all your family and friends. Gender reveal is not just special for the soon to be parents but
also for the myriad aunts, uncles and grandparents. And keep in mind, the true
success of a gender reveal party is when the news finally dawns on the parents!
So, whether you are a partner planning the party for your spouse or if you are
a friend, relative or colleague, here are a few tips and tricks that will help
spruce up the party.
Let the balloons surprise
you
As common as it is, pink and blue balloons are a time-tested
way to go. The individual responsible for organizing the party must know the
gender of the baby and then all you need to do is place the pink or blue
balloons in a box. Keep that huge box in your backyard, lawn or garden and open
the box at the countdown of 3. And that’s it! The color of balloons will say it
all! One cannot even express that feeling just a second before the box opens!
It’s spectacular and scary at the same time!
And if you are planning this party and want to keep the
gender as a surprise for you too, then all you must do is have a word with
doctor who will slide an envelope to you with the gender printed inside. Just
slide that envelope to your trusted friend or party organizer and everything
will be taken care of!
Blue and Pink must be
your food
All you need is a passion to bake, a little food coloring and
a great backyard and you can create a magical gender reveal in minutes. Organize
the dining table with a giant cake and other delectable food! Use a pink or
blue food die to color the cake and cover it in white frosting. In the end, you
will only be able to see the white frosting and not the color within.
When the soon-to-be parents cut the cake, the joy on their
faces will be the perfect reward. Plus, you get to enjoy some delicious
cupcakes while you’re at it!
Family Matters
Why not get the spectators involved by handing out pink or
blue color t-shirts to your guests? You can either use apparel accessories
like: pink or blue caps, hand bands, tattoos or just pins. If your party has
kids in it, do not forget to get them some fun accessories too. But before you
plan such an idea, make sure that each member in the family (especially the
kids) are kept from divulging the secret. And then, when the time is right, let
all the members of the party give a surprise to the would-be parents and revel
in their priceless reactions.
Post it on Social Media
If you cannot gather your family around, you can still
surprise them on social media. There are several ways you can post a gender
reveal on social media. All you need to do is when you know the gender of your
baby, fill your palm with pink or blue ink and leave a print on a plain white
t-shirt and post it on social media profile. Another idea is to leave the
imprint of that specific color on the belly of the would-be mother! This is an amazing
way to surprise the mother as well. Best of all, you get to share the joy with
your friends and family from around the world.
Baby Outfits
How about opening a present with the outfit of the baby! If
it’s a girl, you might want to buy a little princess pink dress and a probably
a blue suit if it’s a boy! But who will prepare this present if everyone wants
to be surprised? Well, all you need to do is tell your doctor to write the
gender inside an envelope and go to a baby apparel shop. Choose outfits for
both genders and slide the envelope to the shop assistant! And they will take
care of the rest and pack the right one inside a sealed bag. And you get to walk away not knowing what is
inside the bag.
Get Silly with Silly
String
This creative idea is most enjoyed by the kids in the party. So,
all you have to do is hand over the silly string spray of a specific color (pink/blue)
and let the kids reveal the gender. And why only kids! Hand over silly string
spray to everyone at the party and they will enjoy the revealing too.
And if you want, you can enjoy a gender reveal party with
every technique listed above. You can have box of balloons in the garden. When
the box opens, all your guests can spray silly string wearing pink/blue caps.
And your husband can surprise you with baby t shirts. And all the fun can
continue to the colored theme desserts and cupcakes in the garden.
And yes, don’t forget to record the priceless expression of
the soon-to-be parents and each member in the family. You might want to use
that video in future to tell your kid how special he/she was for the entire
family and how everyone reacted during the surprising reveal! Gender reveal
parties are a great way to enjoy time with your family and friends and revel in
the bundle of joy you are soon about to have.
