gender reveals

There are so many ways to share the sex of your unborn child with your partner, family, and children. Here are some fun ways make the experience of finding out that much more memorable!

To reveal to your partner--

If you are getting a maternity photoshoot done, you can wrap a blue or pink bow around your baby bump, frame the picture in light blue or light pink and wrap it in white paper and on the front write “He Or She Open To See!”

Gift baskets are one of my favorite things to do! Very simple and to the point. You can make a gift basket including onesies, bibs, a baby blanket, baby bath towels, and anything else you can think of that would be useful for you and your baby and is gender specific. Stuffing basket with pink or blue shredded tissue is also a good addition.

Scavenger hunts are also a very fun way to reveal the gender. You can lead your partner through some of your favorite spots or past dates leaving little clues where the final destination is. When your partner reaches the final destination you can be waiting with a box decorated with pink and blue and a saying on the outside. When you open the box you can have helium filled balloons, pink or blue, that come out revealing the gender.

If you are one of those mommas that wants to be surprised and you let your partner know the gender, your partner could send you pink tulips or roses , or blue hydrangeas or carnations.
