If you haven’t heard about gender reveal parties, you’re not the only one. A fairly recent trend that has taken the blogosphere, Pinterest, and pretty much the entire online community of expectant moms by storm. It’s a bit like a baby shower, but instead of opening gifts, the soon-to-be parents find out the sex of their baby while surrounded by family and friends.
I’ve seen tons of great ideas for the big reveal: you cut open a cake revealing either a pink or a blue middle, you release a box of mystery colored balloons, open up a gift to find a gender-specific onesie— the possibilities are truly endless. It does require a lot of secrecy and planning from one designated friend, but the payoff is always worth it.
One of the best ideas for these parties that I’ve seen is a duck-themed one titled: “Waddle It Be?” Isn’t that the cutest?
