We rocked it alright! Do you know how hard it was for me to contain myself for 6 days after receiving sealed information that said if I’m having a boy or a girl? I soooo wanted to take a peek at the golden envelope given by my doctor that revealed my baby’s gender – but my husband gave me the strength to not look, especially given the effort I put into planning the party. Instead of wondering what was inside, I focused my attention on all of the little details to make the party perfect – and, I have to tell you, it WAS perfect! Best of all, we are having a baby GIRL! We have a little boy and we all wanted a girl, so the wait was well worth it! Here’s a recap of our fabulous day.
Enticing Pink & Blue Invite:
Colorful Cocktails
Pink & Blue Party Panache
I had my doctor seal the baby’s sex in an envelope and I gave it to my local florist, along with a cute box I wrapped in pink/blue paper with the words “Girl or Boy Still a Joy!” glued to the side. The florist then filled up helium balloons the morning of the party and taped the box shut so we couldn’t see what color the balloons would be. My hubby and I opened the box in front of our guests and PINK balloons floated out to the sky!
In addition to having your guests wear pink or blue to cast their vote, we had this chalkboard with colored chalk for everyone to make their choice.
Both the kids and adults also had fun wearing the mustache or bow pins to represent their vote.
Any party these days is not complete unless you have photo props! Our mustache and lips on a stick made for fun party pictures!
The pink/blue piñata in the shape of a question mark was a true hit for the kiddos. Another fun and extra nice touch for the party that went along with the theme and was kid friendly.
Mommy-to-be pink and blue manicured nails add a little fun element to the ensemble.
What a party!!! Here’s to girls! xoxo,
