So we’re having a gender reveal party on [name_m]Saturday[/name_m] and we’re going to have a few baby shower type games plus people will be casting their votes for whether we’re having a boy or a girl. I’m getting all the stuff for the party tomorrow and I still haven’t figured out what to get for prizes. Has anyone been to or hosted a gender reveal party (or baby shower) that had interesting/cute baby related prizes? I know I can always fall back on candy and Starbucks gift cards but I was hoping to do something a little more creative.
We had a gender reveal party, we had a shrimp boil and a cake. While everybody made their guess, we didn’t do any games or prizes.
Hmmmm… Prizes, I’m not too creative so I would probably end up falling back on the Starbucks cards or candy. Lol. I’ve been to baby showers where they have out gift basket type prizes. I’ve seen where they give out a movie night basket and a manicure/pedicure basket. I bet you could find some really neat ideas on Pintrest.
Hey [name_f]Pansy[/name_f]! We have a gender reveal coming up [name_u]November[/name_u] 23rd! I am so psyched… I can’t wait! Our scan is the 17th and we’re waiting until the 23rd to have the party on the weekend. Those 6 days are going to be hard. lol
Our games: My [name_m]SIL[/name_m] is helping me plan. She’s printing a two-month calender where people can write their names (first come, first served) one per square, to guess which day the baby will arrive. [name_u]Haven[/name_u]'t come up with a prize yet… Since we won’t know the winner until after baby arrives, perhaps a “nod” on the birth announcement? Such as, “Grandma [name_u]Joyce[/name_u] (for example) correctly predicted baby’s DOB!” I think close friends and family members would love to take the credit!
Game #2: I bought a giant plastic baby bottle bank (from Hobby Lobby, I believe) and will fill it with candies. People will guess the number of candies, and whoever is closest to the correct number will win the bottle. Not an original game, but people seem to like it, and they all know how to play. Plus the prize takes care of itself! (Our candies are personalized Hershey’s kisses.)
Game #3: We included a slip of paper in each invitation which is a raffle ticket, stating that if they choose, the guest can bring any size pack of diapers to the party, along with the ticket. Their name will then be entered in a drawing for a $25 gift card to a popular store.
Nothing too inspired, sorry. [name_m]Just[/name_m] sharing what I have pulled together so far.
