It's A Boy-The Reaction :)

Part two of Gender Reveal Party :)

Once we had dinner...and did a little clean up, the soon to be Grandparents were getting antzy! It seriously felt like I had a huge group of 5 year olds! My Mother was the worst :)  Lets get to the pictures!

The soon to be Grandparents!

Oh and the Great-Grandmothers!

Yes, I am counting to three, and can you see my Mother in pink...is the first to take a bite?!

I love, how they are all looking at the cupcakes and great grandmothers are not even touching their cupcakes!

Yes, my parents are doing a little dance!

I LOVE how we caught this moment... My Mother was so emotional :)

Jasmine from The Couture Cakery , whipped up some delicious gender reveal cupcakes for us! Yellow and orange sprinkles to finish it off! 

Our two little pups also had to participate! I had Glamour Dog Boutique over at Etsy create these adorable bandanas for the pups! They were seriously a big hit!

Miss Eli Mae, who will be a Big Sister :)

Our Little Man Kingston Jay...Big Brother!

They turned out super cute!

Our Gender Reveal Party was a ton of fun! I'm so glad we decided to throw one and we were able to share it with our friends and families!

Gender Reveal Party Details!

Here are some fun details and pictures from our amazing night with family and friends!

We only invited our parents, grandparents, siblings and close friends! Appetizers to start and a lasagna dinner to follow! It was held the night before Thanksgiving, so I figured an Italian meal would be perfect!  Oh gosh, where do we begin!

Remember these cute invites?

Click over here to see an earlier post on my inspiration for the party!

Lets get to details! My Grandmother helped sew together a long table runner...I loved the bright orange polka-dot material I found at the fabric store! I snatched up some yellow flowers at the grocery store... very easy and affordable! We already had the vases..

The appetizer table was put together using all of my "cravings" so far in the pregnancy! My personal favorite..are the macaroni and cheese cups! yum  yum! I didn't put too much out because we were serving such a filling dinner!

I snatched up the tiny cups over at Shop Sweet Lulu. I look forward to ordering more in the future from them! Great company!

I found two tiny pinwheels at Hobby Lobby..my Nephews loved taking something home with them! They added that cute factor on the table!

Pineapple and canteloupe skewers! 

Reeses Pieces! 

Of course I had to get some orange straws! Another purchase from Shop Sweet Lulu. We threw in a couple orange slices into the water..

Not only did it match our theme...it was delicious! 

I decorated the mantle with candles, a framed invite and some colorful decor!

I used many glass vases from our wedding, including the frame! It was so nice to be able to reuse things!! It saved a lot of money! It has been a very long time since I made a chain link from construction paper :) 

I used the ribbon vases for my Brother's dinner rehearsal last June! It is so easy to simply change up the ribbon! Click over here to so a video for a DIY idea! I originally found this idea from Jessica over at Tying the Knot. It added the perfect amount of color!

We left up some decorations for a couple of days! I just couldn't take it down right away! 

In my next post, I will share pictures of the soon to be Grandparents finding out the gender :) Along with the delicious cupcakes.  It was definitely a good time!

Early Stages of Gender Reveal!

I quickly found inspiration for our Gender Reveal Party! I knew right off the bat I didn't want a pink and blue theme... We would leave those colors for the cupcake filling..  When I came across a reveal party done by Swoon Paper Studio, I knew this was it!  Take a peek at some of the details!

They chose food according to the Mommy to Be's cravings!  What a great idea!

I was able to get in touch with Randi over at Swoon Paper Studio and she was so kind to give me info on where she found most of her items for the party!

Okay, so Yellow & Orange are my theme colors! Something different & fresh. LOVE! So, I went over to Etsy and spotted this invite....over at Detailish!  I have a hidden love for damask..

A little later we have this! I am loving it! (click to enlarge)

 

Some info is hidden for privacy :) 

They will be printed off and sent in the mail! I am soo looking forward to our big Reveal!

5 More weeks to go!!
