Want a super unique, ultra fun way to announce the gender of your baby? Throw a HOLIDAY Gender Reveal Party! With family and friends already gathered together to celebrate the season, it's the perfect time to add a little extra JOY to the festivities! With adorable DIY projects, snowflakes galore, and the cutest gender reveal cookies you ever did see, this gender reveal theme is perfect!
Set the scene with a fantastic and festive backdrop. 'Tis the season for Christmas lights, so marquee letters (J, O, and Y) are an awesome choice for this theme! They are sold in white, but can be instantly transformed with a touch of gold spray paint. Add a few words cut out of card stock and a DIY Ornament Banner that spells out "Girl or Boy," and you've got a unique backdrop idea that is just too cute! A tassel garland adds color and helps tie the party space together. For this look, we combined white, hot pink, and light blue tassels.
To emphasize the winter aspect of the party, snowflakes and snow are a must! Stunning snowflake cookies in shades of pink, blue, and gold from Say Anything Bakery not only serve as pretty decor, but also as a yummy treat! Display them on a snow-covered platter, as well as in some small easel stands for spectacular visual interest. To ensure all food remains food-safe lay down a napkin or wrap your cookies before setting them out.
Gold Geometric Terrarium Candle Holders serve as modern-day snow globes when filled with craft snow and the snowflake portion of mini snowflake wands. Don't they look beautiful?!! The wands can be easily snipped with a pair of scissors to eliminate the stem piece, then just tuck the snowflakes into the snow. So very easy and pretty!
It's just not winter without snowy trees, and these DIY Unfinished Wood 3D Stand-Up Trees do not disappoint! Simply give them a good coat or two of white acrylic paint until the wood is completely covered, then let dry. Once the pieces are all dry, brush on some FolkArt® Glitterific Acrylic Paint Gold, then let dry. The pastel beads in this Bright Pearl Bead Assortment are the perfect size to serve as ornaments for the trees, so hot glue them randomly onto the trees for a stunning finishing touch!
The snowflake favor boxes coordinate with the decor so well, and are great for sending your guests home with a sweet little treat. It would be really fun to tuck colored candy inside that represents the gender of your little bundle of joy!
Fresh flowers are always a lovely addition to a party, and a pink and blue arrangement ties into this theme decor seamlessly. Display the flowers in this Wide White Ceramic Vase with Gold Trim for the ultimate "wow" factor.
Balloons and an absolutely adorable Gender Reveal Party Piñata help round out the decor. We also incorporated balloons in shades of light pink and hot pink, as well as turquoise balloons, white balloons, and gold-confetti-filled balloons.
Powdered sugar donut holes look like little snowballs, so we think they're an ideal treat to serve at this winter soiree! These Watercolor Rainbow Cupcake Liners hold four donut holes with ease and add a pop of color to the dessert table. Coordinating Watercolor Rainbow Paper Dessert Plates are great for serving the cookies on, and we love these matching napkins, as well!
The answer to the big question and the reason for this Holiday Gender Reveal Party gets tucked inside the fabulous "JOY" piñata cookies by Say Anything Bakery! Mel, the baker behind the brand, is an absolute GENIUS, and creates gender reveal cookies that have gender-colored sprinkles tucked inside. How clever is that?!! They are almost too pretty to eat. Almost. ;)
