Gender Reveal Part 2

Here is Part Two of our Gender Reveal Party for sweet baby Ellison!

And my favorite part, too- the dessert.

I love the idea of an ice cream bar and decided to adapt it to the pink and blue theme.

We had brownies, vanilla ice cream and a plethora of Lil' Man toppings and Lil' Miss toppings!




I used the same signs from the entry table and just moved the title over and added the word "toppings". Super simple!

 We had blueberries, blue sixlets (from the party store), blue sprinkles, blue candy and I colored half a tub of cool whip blue!
 For the Lil' Miss toppings, we had strawberries, raspberries, cherries, pink sixlets (also, from the party store), pink sprinkles and I colored the other half of the cool whip pink.


I am really pleased with how this table (and the sundaes!) turned out! It was so easy to organize and continued the Lil' Man/Lil' Miss, blue/pink theme seamlessly.

Since my hub and I already knew the gender for the big reveal, we went to the Dollar Tree after our Dr. appointment and loaded up on pink silly string! Once you take the lid off, all the bottles look the same! I checked the tops and one had a little pink remnant on it and I simply scraped it off with a toothpick so there were no spoilers.

We passed out the silly string to all our friends and on the count of 3, everybody sprayed! It was SO fun and wonderful to see everyone's reactions!


 PINK!
 It's a GIRL!

In the end, I am beyond pleased with how simple and fun this party turned out! I love that it wasn't tons of work to prepare but was still adorable. 

So excited for a girl!!

Gender Reveal Part 1

Last Wednesday, the hubster and I found out the gender of our sweet baby and wanted a fun way to share it with our friends!

I had so much fun planning this reveal especially since I didn't know the gender while planning and I can't wait to share it with y'all!

 I was inspired by this and this to create what, in my opinion, was a super easy and cute party to throw together!

Here is part one of our party- the entry table! 

This table greeted our guests as they came in and made their predictions if Baby Ellison is a Lil' Man or a Lil' Miss!





 The prize was a massive baby bottle full of candy!
 We had so much fun with the lips and mustaches and that our friends could guess their predictions before the big reveal!

Check back tomorrow for the dessert table and how we revealed the news!

Very few people guessed girl!
