Since we live several states away we have never been able to tell our families in person that we are expecting. My sister-in-law Caley suggested that we have a gender reveal party when we were in Texas and we decided it would be a great way to include our family in this exciting season.
Caley and John visited a couple of weeks before we went to Amarillo for Thanksgiving. I am not crafty but I was so inspired by pinterest! We decided on the theme, What Will Baby Bee?, based on lots of cute pictures of other gender reveal parties. Caley and I created most of the decor for the party. I was impressed with our work and it was a fun adventure for us to work on together.
We actually had our sonogram the day Caley and John came into town, so we knew we couldn't find out baby's gender and not spill the beans while they were there. The tech wrote the gender on a card that we tucked away once we got home. (We did end up peaking before the party. We wanted to celebrate together before we celebrated with everyone else. We were very impressed that we never let baby's gender slip, even while spending the entire weekend with my family for Jeffrey's wedding.)
Now on to the pictures...
The Banner that we made. LOVED it!!!
Our table.
The theme was pregnancy cravings so we had sweet, salty, sour and crunchy treats.
Our drink station.
The adorable cake!
The Big Sister to Be! She's so cute!
The Boy Votes
The Girl Votes
The votes. We had everyone write their name suggestion under their vote.
Very Entertaining!
We wanted Caley to cut the cake since she was so instrumental in helping me plan and execute all the party details.
The cake is BLUE!!!!!
We are thrilled to announce that Bennett Edwin Blandford will be joining our little family in March. We are so excited to be having a little boy and can not wait to meet him! Only three months from today! The time is flying by!
