What is the biggest question on most people’s minds when they find out you are pregnant? Yup, you guessed it: is it a boy or a girl?
This leads us to *drum roll please* gender reveal parties. If you are not familiar, these popular parties anticipate a child’s gender near the end of the second trimester. Many of these ideas are completely customizable for siblings and some can create a gorgeous photo opp that you can share with your baby when they are a bit more grown-up.
While there may be a smaller crowd for your party due to COVID-19, it doesn’t mean you can’t make a big splash. Be it pink or blue, we got plenty of creativity for you. And the best part of all? There are endless ways to celebrate and so we picked our favorite ideas for you below!
