Gender Party

Ever since I read about a thing called a gender reveal party, I could not wait to have one! I first read about it here. (Cody and Chelsea go to church with us) I also searched other blogs for ideas and inspiration.

Because we were going to find out whether baby Adamson was going to be a girl or boy in October, we decided to do a pumpkin-ish theme. I still wanted to be able to have pink and blue colors in the decorating, so the classy white pumpkins were a perfect solution in decorating.

Here is what we did for the invitations.

We really had fun making the invites!...and side note, we got the picture somewhere off the internet, we did not take them ourselves. I would give the photo credit, but I looked at so many pictures of pumpkins, I really can not remember where they came from. I think these are just results from typing in white pumpkin(s) in google images.


We had the party back in Sabine so our family could be in on all the fun. Some couples wait until the party to find out along with everyone else the gender of their baby. We decided that we would find out the gender of our little one at the ultrasound, and the surprise would be for everyone at the party. Since we were coming from out of town to have the party, we figured this would work the best ....plus we really wanted to be able to look at everything in the ultrasound and not feel like we had to turn our head away, or miss out on anything the ultrasound tech was seeing!

My appointment for the ultrasound was on Thursday, October the 7. It was SO cool to finally be able to see our baby so well! Saturday I spent all day baking yummy treats for the party and finishing up some decorations while Myles was at clinical. He got home around 3:30 and then we loaded up to drive home to share our exciting news!

Here are some pictures of the fun!

Some of the decor:

(E. Adamson...both of our boy and girl names started with an E, so this didn't give anything away!)

Yummy food and goodies:

(The boy voters!)

After everyone had finished lunch, we passed out the cup cakes, counted to three and everyone bit in at once! 

Its a BOY!!

(My brother and his wife, happy to see blue!)

We also got to share our name choice with our family at the party! His name is strong and special. 

Eli David Adamson. (Myles's dad is named David, so it was extra special to him)

We had so much fun telling everyone our news! It was a great excuse to get together and see everyone! With all the excitement going on, I did not manage to get a good picture of Myles and I with our blue cup cakes, tear.....oh well. 

We are so excited about having a little boy! He will be loads of crazy, fun :)
