He or She? It's a...

He or She?  Pink or Blue?  That was the theme of our gender reveal party that we had over the weekend.  It was so fun getting together with family and friends to celebrate our little baby.  We decorated everything in pink and blue and I found the cutest plates and napkins at our local party store.

I tried to incorporate pink and blue into my outfit.  Marty just wore blue, although he swears he didn't think about it when he got dressed, haha.

We kept track of what everyone thought the gender would be.  The final tally ended up being about 75% votes for a boy!

I made the little bow and tie confetti above.  The candy bar idea below of coloring the HE in blue and the SHE in pink was from Pinterest.  How awesome is it that Hershey's bars fit in with the theme?

Pink and Blue grab bags.

We played a couple games.  The first was a quiz on how well everyone knew the old wives tales about pregnancy.  A majority of the tales indicated I would have a girl.

The second game was about interesting birth facts.  We split everyone into 2 teams: Team Blue vs. Team Pink!

Team Blue is above and Team Pink is below.  As you can see Team Blue vastly outnumbered Team Pink.

Team Blue ended up winning!  That for sure meant it would be a boy.  Plus, the majority couldn't be wrong, right?  Well, it was time to find out!  The big reveal was coming up!

On a side note, how cute is this picture?  Rudy is ready for a little human sibling!

I found a fun tutorial for making scratch off cards and decided to make that for the reveal!  I did both blue and pink cards and each card had 3 boxes that said either Boy or Girl.  Every card had a different combination and only one had all 3 boxes matching with the correct gender.  Once the person with the "winning" card revealed the correct gender, they yelled it out so the whole group would know!  It was fun that we had no idea who would find out the gender first!

Ready?

IT'S A GIRL!!!

{My attempt at confetti pics, ha}

...and the aftermath :)

Also, those blowing confetti pics you see sure are harder to pull off than I thought!  We'll have to work on that one. ;-)

We are so excited for our little girl!

Thanks for sharing this fun experience with us!  I can't wait to start planning the nursery. :)
