Gender Reveal Party DIY Ideas!

I love this so much! You must watch this if you are pregnant, knows a couple who is pregnant, or know a couple planning a pregnancy!!!

This video brings out a very good point that I never mention in my gender reveal posts, which is that gender reveal parties are not about gift giving like a baby shower would be but are more a celebratory party, therefore it would not be appropriate to ask for gifts, give gifts, expect gifts. It’s just a fun party to reveal the gender of the baby and to celebrate the happy occasion.

I personally think gender reveal parties should be held AFTER the baby shower as a nice ‘treat’ for your family and friends to get together relax and just enjoy themselves without the pressures of giving more gifts etc…. (that is if you didn’t reveal the gender at your baby shower! If you did it sorta defeats the purpose of the party!, this is where planning ahead comes in! ) :D

A secondary affect of GRP’s is that it turns out to be a good way of saying thank you for the baby shower/gifts etc… Fun times!

DIY: Meringue Message Cones! (tutorial)

These “Secret Message Cones” from BHG are inspired by fortune cookies and featured as a creative homemade Valentine idea, but they would ALSO be a fabulous addition to birthday parties, bridal showers, and baby showers (especially a “Cravings” or “Pickles & Ice Cream” theme!)

You’ll need sugar cones, meringue cookies, and chocolate chips for the ice cream cone portion. (All can be store-bought.) For the homemade valentine, you’ll also need paper for the “message” and colorful nonpareils.

To modify this idea as a party favor, you can either tailor the inside message to your particular occasion OR fill the cone with something different like  jelly bellies, pink m&ms, or a flavored lip gloss, essentially using the ice cream cone as your “favor packaging”. Sweet!
