Baby K Reveal Decorations

A few days ago I shared with you about my best friend having a little sweet baby! I shared with you my reveal inspiration and party decorations so today I am going to share with you the decorations I put together for the party.

All of these supplies were purchased at Hobby Lobby in the party section. I wanted to get a variety of pink and blue decorations and then to combine them and make some cute decorations. I decided that I could get some of the prepackaged things and then rework them to make what I wanted. Since we are currently living in boxes I have no idea where most of my craft things are so this was my best option.

In the dinning room where we had all of the food set out I hung up these blue and pink dot bands. These are cute and simple. I got a package of pink and a package of blue and just combined them. I also put blue and pink streamers on the backs of the dinning room chairs. My helper for this party was a  year old so she decided how long the streamers were going to be. It looks great but not quite what my OCD self had in mind. I also got a package of pink and blue balloons and had the girls help me blow them up, these were put up all over the house. 

For the dinning room table I got plastic table cloths from Dollar Tree and I unfolded the pink on and used the blue one as a runner. This seemed like the best way to showcase both colors. I also got straw decorations at hobby lobby, mustache's for boys and bows for girls. I spread these out on the table and lots of people used them on their straws. 

I really like the pennant banners so I got a pink and blue one from Hobby Lobby and just made hung one tighter then the other so they would both show. I put a blue balloon on one side and a pink on the other, the back door is to the right of this picture and it was super bright outside.  

I made this sign with a poster board, some craft paper and stickers. I got the largest stickers that they had in black and then I just got enough to go with the saying I wanted to use. For the pennant banner I just cut the corners off  of two pieces of paper, I made sure they were all the same size and they ended up working really well. I attached them with glue dots and used a marker to write on "HE" and "SHE" on the pink and blue paper. I just sat this sign on a bench by the front door and taped the top to the bench so it wouldn't fall over.  

For the reveal I got a big black balloon, at hobby lobby they have a special giant black balloon in the balloon section. I knew what they were having so I cut up pieces of streamers and filled the balloon with it. Then the day of the reveal I used a helium tank and filled the balloon up. We had the future dad hold the balloon and the future mom pop it with a a stake knife. 

All of the little ones loved the confetti and kept playing with it. Everyone had a great time and we are all very happy and excited for little girl baby K to be here! 

What kind of decorations would you use for a gender reveal party?

Gender Reveal Party Decor

Yesterday I shared different gender reveal ideas so today I am going to share different party ideas. I think that this is the perfect excuse to have a fabulous party with lots of fun decor and games for everyone to participate in. I am getting really excited to find out what my future god child will be so this is a great way to use some of that energy!

Image

I really like the idea of wearing something that will show if you are team boy or team girl. I think that the mustache and bow idea is super cute! These would be a little hard to make yourself but the link above is to a super cute etsy shop that makes them for you!

Image

This idea is something you could definitely do yourself. It is also super easy to use and I think you could get almost everyone to use these.

Image

I really love the idea of using different pink and blue candies and snacks. I think this is super cute and would be fun to do a table for everyone to enjoy. This is also pretty easy to DIY, you can just use food coloring for the treats to make them the right color. 

Image

This is a super cute and simple idea that wouldn't be expensive but that would look great. I think this is super fun and a great idea.

Image

I love the idea of having fun punch like this. I think this is super cute and would also be a good way to show if you are team boy or team girl. Plus this is a great way to incorporate pink and blue items in your party.

Image

I think this is a really fun idea also, it would be great to get peoples name ideas. It is also fun to see what people would pick for a boy or girl. I really like the idea of doing this for a gender reveal party and seeing if the couple picks one of these names.

Image

And of course some cute decor for the door is a must.  I really like how they have divided the sign and the use of the banner below the sign. This is super cute and definitely something you could easily replicate.

Which is your favorite gender reveal party idea? What do you think is a must?

Gender Reveal Ideas

My very best friend is having a little bundle of joy in October and this Sunday I am throwing her a gender reveal party. So I have been pinning away lots of different ideas for how to do the reveal part of the party. In our pinterest world you can find just about anything and getting ideas for everything like this, this, this, this, this, this, this, and this, Just to name a few, so of course I went straight to pinterest to find the perfect way to do her gender reveal. So today I am sharing with you some of my favorite ways to do a gender reveal.

Image

The way I saw this was technically for a wedding but I really like the idea of doing this with different shades of pink or blue. I think this could be really pretty and a fun print to put in the baby's room.

Image

I also really like this idea. I think it would be fun for everyone to shoot these off at the same time, you could get amazing pictures! Plus these poppers are super cute.

Image

This is another thing you could shoot off at each other and take really fun pictures. I think the hardest part about this would be finding enough pink or blue silly string and getting them covered well enough that no one would now what color it was. 

Image

This is a classic idea that lots of people have done but I still really like it. It is simple and not messy so that is nice. Plus it makes for wonderful pictures and it is a fun thing for everyone to watch.

Image

This is a super cute idea also, I like how the put streamers and balloons inside the box so that you definitely knew which gender it was. This is great for pictures and a very unique way to do the reveal. I haven't seen anything like this before and it is a different take on the balloon box idea.

Which gender reveal idea is your favorite? Or do you like something else?
