Pink Or Blue? Gender Reveal Party!



"What's Your Guess For Baby 2?
Cast Your Vote For Pink Or Blue!"

We had our gender reveal party on Saturday... everything was pink and blue!



And everyone had to vote for what they thought little Baby 2 was going to be. Surprisingly, the votes were pretty even:



A slight majority to pink... for both the votes and the Wives' Tale "Facts":



Everyone had to wear a pin signifying their vote:



And in the end, some delicious cupcakes from The Cupcake Doctor told the tale:



At our ultrasound appointment last Monday, we had our doctor write down the gender and seal it in an envelope for us, so even David and I did not know what was going to be inside! It was torture waiting until the big moment...





YAY! Sophia gets a little baby brother!



I'm a sucker for photo booths...
So we set one up for guests to take pictures:



Lips and mustaches (made from my photo prop tutorial), and pink and blue pinwheels on sticks for props... and I hung pink and blue wrapping paper from Dollar Tree for the backdrop:



And practically everything for the party was pink and blue... down to balloons and bunting banners, punch bowls and cake pops.



It was a fun way to learn Baby 2's gender, and we are beyond excited about our little boy! Cannot wait to meet him in August!

Motherhood definitely agrees with you.
I read it fast at the end and thought you said can't wait to meet August, when you really said in August.
So, my vote is for the name August!
