How to Plan a Gender Reveal Party
Planning a gender reveal party can be a fun and exciting process. Here’s how you can plan a successful gender reveal celebration:
- Determine a date and location: Choose a date that works for you and your partner. Decide whether you want to host the party at your home, a park, or a rented event space.
- Set a budget: Determine the budget you have available for the party. This can help you make decisions about the guest list, decorations, and food.
- Select a theme: Decide on the theme for your gender reveal party. Themes can add a creative and cohesive element to the celebration.
- Create the guest list: Compile a list of family members and friends you want to invite. Consider whether you want an intimate gathering or a larger celebration.
- Send invitations: Create and send out invitations a few weeks in advance. You can use traditional paper invitations or digital invitations.
You don’t have to serve an extravagant meal at your gender reveal party, but you do want to provide your guests with plenty of tasty finger foods. Consider a Sweet Baby Boy Bouquet or a Sweet Baby Girl Bouquet you can reveal after you’ve done the big gender reveal, or perhaps get one of each to keep your guests guessing.
You might also consider a few of our Rainbow Berries Boxes for an assortment of bold colors. If you’re feeding a larger crowd, you can’t go wrong with a selection of party platters or a dessert board that includes a little bit of everything.
