    I love these. I have one boy and one girl so I think it would be so much fun to surprise them and my family and friends with a gender reveal party, should we have a third.

    This is such a great idea to reveal baby’s gender! I’ve pinned this recipe for my SIL who will be finding out in a few weeks if I’ll have a new niece or nephew!
