I found these adorable invitations on etsy.
Our ultrasound was on a Tuesday and we planned for our families to come for the gender reveal on Saturday so we had to be very patient! We had the ultrasound tech put the results into an envelope, and immediately dropped it off with our trustworthy baker friend. She baked cupcakes, half with blue frosting on top, half with pink. But in the middle they would all be the same: either pink or blue.
On Saturday we had our whole family over and everyone cast their vote for boy or girl. It was fun to see what everyone thought. I had made the kids shirts that said "Team Girl" and "Team Boy" with a pink bow and blue mustache respectively.

Our cute cupcakes, and I made lollipops with mustache and bow molds |
Naomi was in charge of getting everyone to write their vote on the white board |
Once everyone had arrived my husband, my 2 kiddos, and I each got our cupcake and bit in while everyone watched. I took the biggest bite possible to make sure I got some of the middle frosting. I had thought it would be a boy so I was surprised to see pink frosting! My daughter was so excited that she's going to have a sister. She jumped up and down and said "team girl won!"
I was trying to chew the giant bite I took, and Pete was saying "I told you!!" |
This was such a fun experience for our family and me, I'm so glad we did it!
