BOY OR GIRL? YOU CHOOSE!

Living in Germany comes with many great perks and benefits, BUT being away from our families and friends can be difficult ... especially during a major life event ... and having a baby is most definitely a major life event! Not only do our friends and family have to miss out on many of the wonderful memories of this time, but we also have to miss out on having a baby shower. BOO! :(

With the help of my FABULOUS mother, we have been able to tentatively plan something from a distance. I've been looking at some fun idea's for a shower as well, and one of my favorite idea's is the Gender Reveal Party. Michael and I won't be home before we know the gender of the baby, but we will find out WHILE we are home, allowing us to have a gender reveal baby shower! We thought this might be fun because (1) It's not your typical baby shower (2) We don't have to call all 900 people and tell them what the sex of the baby is (your phone bill can get pretttttty high with international calls!) and (3) Most of the items we like for baby are gender neutral, so it could work! Here are some fun idea's I've seen while "Pinning"

 

Tally your loved one's votes and let everybody pick a side! Reward the winning side with a prize!

 

Very cute props! Mustache for boys and Lips for girls!

 

What a fabulous cake! Very gender neutral.

 

What a great party favor. Simply color HE or SHE with a permanent marker.

 

Very cute ideas for decorations and foods!

 

 

Another very, very unique idea I have found was this fabulous guestbook from Guestbookstore.com

With this website, you can order custom guestbook pages for your guests to fill out, instead of just writing the name! What a fun idea! Here is a sample of the pages that can be ordered ....
