We hosted our gender reveal on June 21 (which also happened to be Father’s Day!) in Indiana with family and friends. The day was just completely magical, and I couldn’t have asked for a more perfect event!
Our theme was “Twinkle Twinkle Little Star.. How We Wonder What You Are”, however, Nathaniel and I had NO idea what we were doing for the actual “reveal” because my parents planned it all and made it a surprise! We were both shocked when a plane flew over and shot off cannons over my parents beautiful lake. The sun came out just in time and it ended up being an absolutely beautiful evening!
Most of my decor was inspired by Pinterest. They have so many ideas for the “Twinkle” theme. My mom ordered a few other things that were mostly found on Amazon. I’ll link as much as I can below to some of our decor!
We spent most of the weekend baking and getting together all of the desserts and food! My mom made pink and blue deviled eggs (which are super easy to make – just let them soak in food dye!) We also made pink and blue cupcakes with buttercream icing. These can be made with regular strawberry cake mix, and vanilla cake mix with blue food dye! Mom made the sugar cookies and hand designed them. They turned out absolutely adorable. She is the most talented person I know!
It was so much fun to see everyones guesses before the big reveal. We set out a “Cast Your Vote” poster with little blue bowties or pink bows so everyone could make their picks. I also listed all of the “old wives tales” and how they matched up for me!
My family surprised us after we found out the gender by bringing Miss Belle (our Great Pyrenees) out in the most adorable blue tutu and handkerchief! She is so excited to be getting a little brother!
If you’d like to see the video of the flyover, you can find it here on my Instagram! Here are a few of my favorite pictures from the moment we found out! Nathaniel’s reaction was just priceless and I know he is SUPER excited to have a little boy!
