I had never heard of a Gender Reveal Party, but I went to one this past Friday night! Our twenty-one-year-old granddaughter, Jenna, is pregnant with her first child. This will be our first great grandchild! The baby is due this December. We found out the gender at the party.
When we first walked in, we had to choose a pin: female (pink lips) or male (black mustache) and then pin it on. I choose the lips, and Johnny chose the mustache. (Aren't they cute?)
Everywhere we looked we saw things decorated pink and Blue.
Why, they even had a huge bowl of pink and Blue cotten candy!
A large, lit question mark was placed on this table, along with baby pictures of Jenna, the future mother and Matt, the future father. Pink and Blue napkins are to the left of the table, and a pink HER and a Blue HIM were framed and hanging on the wall.
A three-tierred cake decorated in pink and Blue sat in the center of the display table.
You can see the Blue and pink drinks in dispensers placed on the counter to the left of this shot.
Johnny and Danny, the two future great-grandfathers enjoyed the chocolate fountain. If you look closely, you'll spot the pink and Blue children's blocks piled in stacks that decorate this table.
Matt, Jenna, me, and Johnny.
The Blue circles inside the cake revealed that it's a BOY!
Our son, Allen, his wife, Sharon (the future grandparents) and Jenna and Matt.
Allen, Sharon, with their daughters: Jenna, Brittany, and Lauren.
As we left, everyone was given some chocolate. Note the Blue "HE" and pink "SHE" on the wrappers.
Happy Blue Monday!

What a cute idea for a party, and so handy with all the blues! The cake looks very tempting. Congratulations on your future great-grandson!
ReplyDeleteCute way to reveal the news.
ReplyDeleteWow Sally, you look so young to be a great grandma! What a beautiful family you have. I have never been to a gender reveal party before. Thanks for sharing this lovely event with bloggity friends.
ReplyDeleteDear Sally, there are great captures of the Party .... I like the Cake. It looks delicious :)
ReplyDeleteMany greetings by Heidrun from Augsburg, Germany
Sally, what a clever way to reveal the birth of a child. The Hershey's bar was the best. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on the family getting bigger soon, Sally. Glad the blues won!
ReplyDeleteWell, Good Morning, Miss Sally!!
ReplyDeleteCongrats to your family as you anxiously await the birth of a new baby BOY!!

I have never heard of this either...a lot of creativity to present the blue and pink options!
ReplyDeleteOh what a joyful celebration!! I these kind of parties are the thing now. You can buy all kinds of BLUE clothes for this new little guy.
ReplyDeleteann
Now THAT is some exciting blue, Sally. Congratulations to everyone!
ReplyDeleteWell, guess what...you know how we talk about we have so much in common...and we now have ANOTHER thing in common...
WE are getting a new GREAT-GRAND...A BOY....and he is due in DECEMBER. How 'bout THAT !!
hahhaa....gotta love it.
You are right - they don't miss a trick these days. More celebration going on then we used to do at a wedding. Congrats to your family! Sally
ReplyDeleteLooks like a fun party. Isn't it funny that, now that the parents can know the gender of their baby before birth, we have gender parties? It amazes me how many couples elect to not know the gender through the entire pregnancy. Thanks for hosting. laurie
ReplyDeleteI've never heard of this, but it's a very sweet idea; happy Monday :)
ReplyDeleteThe old saying,you never get too old to learn is very true. Thought I had heard of most new showers, but not this one. A great idea tho. You will love the little fellow. You know how I dearly love my Layton.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations, Sally! What wonderful news on your expecting a great grandson! Many blessings to your family.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea! I've never been to one, but it looks like it was a lot of fun.
ReplyDeleteWell, what a creative and blue-friendly way to reveal this extraordinary news! And, as someone else said, i did immediately notice your lovely blue top, Sally. Thanks for hosting. Happy Monday to you and yours!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful post!

Sarah
well I've never heard of such a thing before!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations. Beautiful party. I love the cake surprise.
ReplyDeleteI just now linked. It is so hard to do it in the morning. I hate linking so late! Thanks for the party. Have a good week,
Sherry
Hi Sally, The gender party is fabulous. I loved every detail. This sure is a new take on a baby shower. Or maybe it was just a 'gender' party. I know everyone had a wonderful time and you are right. They didn't miss a trick. I love the baby blocks, the drinks, the Hershey bar, etc. The blue spots in the cake just cracked me up. Congratulations to the happy parents to be. I really loved seeing all of the photos of your beautiful family Sally.
ReplyDeleteLove, Jeanne
PS, Now I want some cotton candy...blue of course. Big smile here.
