It’s A….Gender Reveal Party!

We decided to have a gender reveal party with this baby!
We haven’t had one before and since my sickness had been going on for so long, any excuse to get together with people was fine with me.
Thank you to Summer Nicole Photography for capturing this afternoon so well for us.

Cute gender reveal party idea with dessert! by Utah mom blogger By Jen RoseMy cute hubs was turning 35 the week of my appointment so I called my beautiful friend & owner of The Sweet Tooth Fairy, to see if she could help combine birthday party & gender reveal party.

Gender Reveal Cupcakes with Gumball Toppers - Gender Reveal Party Ideas by Utah mom blogger By Jen RoseI wanted simple pink & blue for everything because I really wasn’t leaning toward boy or girl.
I found these plates & napkins & thought they were absolutely perfect!

Red Velvet, Salted Caramel, Chocolate Fudge, & Funfetti Cake Bites are a yummy treat at a gender reveal party - Gender Reveal Party Ideas by Utah mom blogger By Jen Rose
We had red velvet, funfetti, salted caramel, & fudge cake bites. These are trouble because they are so little and easy to keep popping.
Sprinkled donut holes are such a simple treat for a dessert table! Most places will add the sprinkles for free! - Gender Reveal Party Ideas by Utah mom blogger By Jen Rose
A little tip about hosting large parties (this is my favorite tip, I always give it) is to grab your favorite sprinkles & take them to your nearest donut shop to sprinkle for you. Every time I have done this, they have done it for me. This time I just asked them to sprinkle whatever pink & blue they had on hand because I didn’t have time to drop stuff off.
Grab a bunch of your favorite gumballs & you’ve got another filler treat.
The reason these are my go to filler treats is because we usually have a good amount of kids at our parties and we invite a lot of people that don’t love to RSVP. I don’t blame them, it’s not one of my strengths either! I know donuts and gum are easy enough for kids to grab and small enough that they will have a few.
Simple blue & pink drinks for gender reveal party. Water in blue tinted mason jar & pink lemonade in clear mason jar. - Gender Reveal Party Ideas by Utah mom blogger By Jen RoseLove these mason jar dispensers I have!

At our appointment, we all managed to look away. The nurse wouldn’t text Megan, so I went over to my sweet neighbor’s house with an envelope and she threw me all over the place. She used a magnifying glass, and said, “What are you going to name him? Will your son be ok if it’s a girl? Are you sure there aren’t 2?”
I can’t believe this cake stand is only $15!

We are so happy to be having a BOY!
It was pretty emotional & heart warming watching my son as he jumped & gave numerous high fives.
