Button or Bow Tie Gender Reveal

  

This past Friday, we celebrated a very special gender reveal party with some dear friends. Our theme if you haven't guessed was button or bow tie and our colors were yellow and gray. I love these sweet colors and how perfectly gender neutral they are. Plus they along with mint green will be making an appearance in the nursery.

Our gender reveal party was a night of wonderful celebration filled with sweet treats, friendships, and an exciting reveal. To prepare, Ray and I set the table with a variety of treats including a fruit platter with caramel sauce, cupcakes topped with yellow buttons, queso and chips, as well as hand crafted button and bow tie sugar cookies from Meemos bakery.

Talk about super adorable and absolutely delicious dessert.

 

At 7PM, our guests joined us and the party began. I am so thankful for these sweet friends to share our lives with and our exciting news. This baby is truly blessed and already so very loved. Plus she has some very sweet little friends that she will grow up with.

After much catch up and conversation, we sampled the dessert table and prepared ourselves for the reveal. Each person was given a yellow balloon filled with confetti as well as a push pin. (Thank you love for filling the balloons.) The plan was to pop the balloons together, but sadly, my balloon malfunctioned and pretty pink It's a Girl confetti dropped to the floor. I was a little stunned. But quickly cheers rang out and all balloons had been popped. It brought as smile to my face. And even though it had not gone exactly as planned, it was so wonderful to share such perfect news with those we loved.

 

 

Bryson loved playing "hockey" as he skated across the floor in socks hitting a poweraid bottle cap with his feet. It was beyond adorable and had me thinking how much I would love to make confetti angels with my body. I did resist though. There were two balloons left and B and Ray popped them together! I love this action shot.

We are all truly blessed by these gifts. The gift of our little girl, our best friends, and of sweet gestures from those we love. What a wonderful night of celebration and surprises! 

 

Happy 20 weeks to my little girl,
