Who is Helping Me: MHH (My handy Hubby- Adam) for some set-up help

Who is NOT Helping Me: Time, I felt like I didn’t have enough of it!

How I Did It: Instead of a length explanation, I’ll have my pictures tell the story…

The Set-Up

For a favor, I set up a “Cravings Corner” where my guests could take home some of my most favorite and most desired candies during this pregnancy

They could also nosh on some yummy treats. This is white chocolate puppy chow.

Here’s a poor photo of my Cheerios Treats in all their glory…

Before this happened…..

Yeah, so I guess the Cheerios Treats were a little heavy and they embarrassingly collapsed about 20 minutes into the party. It didn’t stop anyone from eating them, thankfully!

I also created two quiz games to play with our family to distract them while we got the reveal ready and while we waited for the food. 

How I Revealed: 

I bought gender reveal specific smoke bombs on Amazon. Since it was a few days before Halloween, I hollowed out a large pumpkin and painted it half pink and half blue and placed the appropriate colored smoke bomb inside.  The pumpkin served as a centerpiece until it was time for the reveal. We took the pumpkin and our family outside and lit off the bomb!
