Gender Reveal Party!

IT’S a _____?

{Gender Reveal Party}

On Wednesday, Xzavier and I had our 20 week ultra sound. We wanted to do something a little different, instead of the tech telling us the sex of the baby on the spot, we had her write the sex baby on the sonogram and seal it in an envelope.  We then had the envelope delivered to  Cake Lady Jill, a local baker here in Charlotte.  She made a cake that would reveal the sex of the baby at our “Gender Party” by the icing on the inside of the cake being blue or pink.  Since, I LOVE surprises and hosting events this was the perfect way for us to find out if we were having a boy or a girl, and share this experience with our closest family and friends.

{invitations}
The invitations were designed by Three Little Birds Stationary and Gifts shop in Charlotte. The inspiration for the party came from a dessert table that Amy Atlas designed for a New Year Eves Party.

On the invitations, we instructed everyone wear pink or blue to cast their vote for a boy or a girl.  It was a close race but it looks like TEAM PINK was the majority!  

{dessert table}
My color scheme was pink , blue , black and white.  The desssert table consisted of cupcakes, cookies, chocolate covered red velvet + champagne truffles, chocolate covered oreo cookies, pretzels dipped in blue chocolate, pink rock candy,  hershey kisses, and of course the {reveal cake}!

{cookies}

The cookies were pink and blue onseies made by Allyson Jane Designer Desserts!  They went perfectly with the theme of the party! 





{chocolate covered desserts}
The chocolate covered desserts were made by Kreations by Kay! The oh so talented Kay made the chocolate covered oreos, truffles, and pretzels! Not only did they look fabulous but they tasted good too!! Xzavier was a huge fan of the chocolate covered oreos!! My favorite was the red velvet truffles dipped in white chocolate! DE-LISH!!!!
