Gender Reveal Party Planning
Little Miss or Mister?
Gender Party Ideas
Food Served = Cravings
greek salad skewers
fruit skewers
roast beef sliders
hummus and veggies
sea salt chips
ginger ale
water bottles with tape to dress it up
beer
Party Favor
Mini Hershey bars with “he” or “she” colored in.
Decorations
Aqua balloons
Red w/polka dot balloons
table cloths white/red or aqua on top
Banner with colored streamers made from excess tablecloths
Color Scheme
Guess Baby’s Birthdate
Calendar printoff (need to track down a big frame for this)
Baby feet stamp
Red and Aqua ink pad
Pen to sign the feet and write weight/length guess
Name Game "Drop 2 Add 1 Change 1"
Pass around two clipboards with name lists (one with boys and one with girls)
Instruct guests to remove their 2 least favorite, add a new one, and adapt a name already on the list.
This is something they can play while mingling and are not forced to sit and listen to everyone play at the same time.
After the guests have edited the list the parents will read the list aloud and the group will vote on the #1 for each gender. (most votes win and each person can only vote for one name.)
Couple is under NO obligation to put this name on the birth certificate.
This is a game, after all. :)
How Big is Baby/Mommy/Daddy?
Pass around yarn/scissors for guests to select how “big” the expectant couple are standing back to back around the center (yarn at the belly button)
