The Godfrey's Adventure: Baby Boy or Baby Girl?

Two of my very best friends are having a baby in November.  Yesterday, at their 20 week doctors appointment, Brad and Kaitlin Godfrey found out if they were having a girl or a boy.  The new thing is to let friends and family learn the gender of the child by having a Gender Reveal Party.

This is a precious idea and I couldn't wait to help out.  This is what we did:

Brad's parents hosted the party at their lovely home.  The party was complete with pulled pork sandwiches, Terry's home made baked beans, potato salad and CUPCAKES!  Here's the things about the cupcakes - Brad and Kaitlin went to Gigi's Cupcakes in Flowood after their doctor's appointment and had them make cute gender-neutral cupcakes filled with either blue or pink icing.  Mind you, no one knew the gender of the child expect Brad and Kaitlin.






The anticipation was high!  I also brought some food.  I was in charge of the appetizers.  To go along with the whole pregnancy theme, I did a table called, "Kaitlin's Cravings."  Her cravings are:  pizza, hummus and watermelon.  The table also had punch accompanied by pink or blue stirs for the guests to use based on their gender guess.


To add to the anticipation, all of the guests were ask to vote if they thought boy or girl and give a name suggestion.


After the ballots were cast, the final tally was 15-boy, 10-girl.  Were they right?  The answer was in the cupcake...


It is a boy!  Congratulations Brad and Kaitlin!

I've seen these parties on other blogs but I've never seen the idea of revealing the gender through cupcake filling! So cute!
