the surprise that comes with a baby :: my gender reveal party with pictures :: giveaway

This post is part of a sponsorship with BabyCenter.

As you know, I was pregnant…and have since had my baby girl. However, we did a super fun gender reveal party so I wanted to share those pictures with you all!

I was completely new to the idea of a gender reveal party until our friends told us about them a few years ago. I didn’t know such a thing existed! How fun are they! For our last pregnancy, we did a surprise cake. My daughters were there with us at a party my friend hosted, and we had the surprise together. Gathered around were our family and friends, and they eagerly sat in anticipation as we cut in to the cake. Blue or Pink…what was it going to be? My friend had a wonderful, beautiful and creative cake made once I gave her the coveted envelope holding the sex of our sweet baby. We all know the end of this story…girl. 🙂

This time around we did something a little different. I have seen on some of my social media channels a gender reveal event where pink or blue balloons are released as soon as the family opens the box. Having three kids already, I opted for balloons. I mean, what kid doesn’t get excited for balloons! My sister and her husband put together a fun gathering of our family and friends, once again. 🙂

    No gender reveal for us. We wouldn’t have been able to contain ourselve long enough to surprise anyone and we didn’t want to wait to find out. BUT, our daughter was tricky while I was carrying her and we never got a definitive boy or girl confirmatiion via ultrasound anyway.

  • theresa m.

    I’ve not done a gender reveal, but it seems like everyone is doing them lately, and I’ve been to a bunch! My younger sister makes diaper cakes for me to give as baby reveal and/or shower gifts – and the center is always a big bottle of Dreft! Every new mom I’ve given it to is super grateful because you get all the new clothes, and usually don’t think about having to wash them and make them safe for the baby until the last minute!

  • Mary Beth Elderton
    July 8, 2014 at 8:35 am

    In my day (the early 80’s) ultrasound machine were huge special devices at hospitals used to diagnose problem pregnancies—we didn’t know the gender ahead of time. However, Dreft was the best for baby things and dedicates even then!

    My husband and I had a bet. If I was right I got him to do the dishes for 2 weeks, if he won I would wash his car for a month( once a week). I won when the doctor saw the turtle.

    the first time a round my doc didn’t believe in sonogram(he believed they caused ear problems in children)but if he had to guess ONE big boy!!! I had twin girls; the 2nd they did 3 sonograms ,they thought twins but one big girls… we stopped at 3 girls when the doctors said with our luck the next one would be triplets and girls!!

  • Julia Barnes

  • Denise B.
    June 30, 2014 at 5:38 pm

    No, we always waited until the babies were born to find out the gender. That’s what we preferred, a surprise.

  • Laura J
    June 30, 2014 at 5:17 pm

    OH…we were boring and just told everyone! Wish I had been so creative as some are these days! So fun! What I love about Dreft is that it is one of the few laundry soaps Carter does not break out from. He got his dads sensitive skin. I just love how gentle it is on his skin!

    I wanted to do one for my 2nd child but we moved out of the state and didn’t have a chance to. If we ever have a 3rd child, I really would like to plan a party! They look like so much fun 🙂

  • Sarah
    June 30, 2014 at 12:47 pm

    I was unaware draft makes a fabric refresher/odor eliminator spray, I’d definitely be interested in trying that for the baby’s room. Very aware of Dreft – it was the only detergent I used on my older son’s clothing his first year!

  • Sonya Morris

    We didn’t do a gender reveal party, but I did take a photo with pink Minnie Mouse ears on my bump when we were at WDW to reveal the gender on Facebook!

  • April Brenay

    When we found out the gender we didn’t have a party but instead just told our family and friends. But, I really love that idea.

  • Janet W.
    June 30, 2014 at 5:26 am

    We didn’t have a gender reveal party. Keep in mind that I had my daughters 30+ years ago so I think this gender reveal party is a new trend. We lived out of state from our family so we wrote our parents and siblings cards which stated the gender our of children.

  • Rebecka Iverson
    June 30, 2014 at 4:15 am

    I actually was not able to host a gender reveal party. My husband called every person we know after each sonogram that revealed the sex of our children. If I am ever blessed with another chance to reveal the gender of my child my husband will have to wait to find out at the party.

  • Crystal F
    June 30, 2014 at 4:00 am

    We bought cards that said something about grandma and grandpa in them. It was fun and everyone was really excited. Thank you!

    We wanted the gender to be a surprise for everyone including us so that kind of takes away the possibility of a gender reveal party.
