Gender Reveal Party...Part 1!

I used to think I was going to throw a huge gender reveal party, then when we found out we were pregnant this time, I thought that I wouldn't find out..so we obviously wouldn't have one. But in the end we talked about it and we are so excited and our families are so excited about this that we felt like we just had to do a little something fun and special. Plus, it brought both of our families together. I love that!

We kept it very simple! We planned the party for 1:00 and decided to provide a light lunch and cupcakes. I wanted the reveal to be early because I knew without a doubt that the girls would go shopping...and I still wanted everyone to get home at a reasonable hour (my family drove 3 hours). We wanted to have some of our good friends and neighbors over too but decided to wait and have them come over later because of work schedules, etc. I purposefully didn't invite anybody from school tht I teach with because I felt like then then number of people coming would be insane! Everything went just like we hoped!

The rest of my pictures will not upload! So, I'm having to break this post up into two parts. More pictures coming soon!
