Have you ever heard of a Gender Reveal Party???

In a nutshell, expectant parents host a party to find out the sex of their baby and share the excitement with family and friends.  At the 20-week ultrasound, the ultrasound technician is asked to write down the gender of the baby and seal it in an envelope. That envelope is then given to the person {grandma, friend, baker, etc.} that will bake the cake for the party.

The magical part is that this person will dye the inside of the cake pink or blue, depending on the sex.  At the party, everyone finds out the gender of the baby when the cake is cut!!!

How fun to be able to rejoice instantly with everyone you love over the good news!

I am allllll about celebrations, so this idea just tickled me pink!  Or blue!  Haha!

And cake is involved, so BRING IT ON!

I cruised around the internet to bring you some fun pictures and links to Gender Reveal Parties I thought were super happy.

I’ve already informed the Happy Hubby that we are soooo doing this if the Lord blesses us with a Happy Buddy #2!

I am buzzing with excitement over this What’s It Gonna Bee? Party from GreyGrey Designs!  You must go see the other pictures to this fabulous party – the dessert table is bee-autiful!

This cute party activity idea from Maddycakes Muse is so creative!  Guests get to cast their vote on baby’s gender before the big reveal.

Mama Manifesto made a cute heart banner out of pink and blue felt and draped it over a chalkboard for guests to suggest baby names for a boy or girl.  You HAVE to also see the adorably simple food table from this party too – Mama Manifesto said it only cost $25 to put together!

Sadie James had her guests dress in the color of what team they were routing for!

Live, Laugh, Create and Design made white chocolate dipped pretzels covered in blue or pink sprinkles!

And below is a picture of a Gender Reveal Cake (courtesy of the Cake Junkie) – what everyone is waiting for!!!

You could even do cupcakes with a pink or blue M&M in the middle and everyone at the party can take a bite at the same time!

Doesn’t this sound like fun?!?!?

I’ve never been to a Gender Reveal Party and now, after working on this post, I am DYING to go to one!  If you have one, please invite the Happy Home Fairy!!!

Happy Gender Reveal Party-ing! 🙂

    This makes me so EXCITED! =) I had wanted to do a gender reveal party with our second child (now 3mo) but my hubby mass text everyone in his phone book bf we even got out of the dr office that it was a BOY! Oh well!

    I’m debating if I want to even find out the gender for baby #3 (I’m not prego!)bc I will have to do a scheduled section. I need some kind of birthday surprise! We are definately keeping names a secret next time either way!

  • I find myself spending more time looking at the world and the problems instead of looking at these 4 heroes right here. This is what needs our attention. This is where change begins. Spend time praying for them instead of scrolling vanity. Spend time memorizing God’s Truths instead of dwelling on flawed opinion. Spend time laughing and playing and breathing deep the smell of their necks. Spend time teaching and training and living in the ✨light✨. This is the future. God has great things coming.

  • Life Updates >> Ryan - This weekend I broke the garbage disposal for the 14th time in our 17 years of marriage and he has not yet given up on me and my lack of understanding of what NOT to put down there. Love always hopes! Noah - Playing on the school basketball team and totally killing it this year! I have no idea what is happening on the court most of the time, but I know enough when the ball swishes through the hoop! Jethro - Creative, funny Jethro. He loves to make people laugh. And he loves to

  • Baby Zion is now officially acting like a toddler! We have mastered the words “No” “Mine” and how to go boneless when you don’t want mom to pick you up. Gearing up for this season of parenting with some truths >> ✨It is kindness that leads us to repentance.✨ It is love that covers over a multitude of sins.✨ It’s funny how doing this the third time isn’t as angering as it was with the first 2!

  • I went to church today. It was so good and so needed. I haven’t been in weeks. It’s funny how I let myself get comfortable with that. I tell myself it’s easier to just watch church at home online. Which is not true because basically every time I do that the children start a wrestling match in the living room while I am trying to listen to the sermon. Or the baby poops during the opening song. Or someone is inevitably injured. But I tell myself how nice it was to not wake up early. How lovely to stay in

  • We got fancy last night for our neighbor’s wedding. ‍♂️The wedding was about an hour drive away, so we had lots of time for car conversations without kids. This usually means that I vomit all the stuff I have been trying to process on my own and Ryan swoops in with a few ultra wise one-liners that talk me off the ledge. Things I learned on the drive... 1. Stop watching the news. Our souls were not made for so much information. 2. Never stop dreaming. Even if your circumstances are hard and you feel all your creativity and hopes

  • When I had covid, this precious mama of mine called me every day. She dropped groceries on our doorstep (and even decorated them with Christmas lights ). She had food delivered to our house. She wore silly Christmas glasses and FaceTimed me to make me smile. She watched every single one of My ABC Truth Tree videos and liked them. She texted me every day to make sure I was taking medicine and drinking enough water. She prayed for me and reminded me that it would all be okay when I called her in tears on Christmas Eve worried that

  • It’s hard to believe that 17 years ago I slept through my alarm, set my veil on fire, had 9 precious flower girls walk down the aisle before me, and we made a covenant before God that we would love and serve each other forever. We don’t do it perfectly, but, by God’s grace, we keep showing up. And he never fails to make me laugh. Happy Anniversary to the best man I know! . Photo Credit >> @heatherholtphoto ✨
