It’s a BOY!!!
Since Keith and I didn’t get a chance to throw a housewarming party when we moved to Seattle last year, we decided to host a Summer BBQ / housewarming party that included the reveal of our baby’s gender. We had an awesome turn out with a combination of family and friends. And the weather held up nicely for us – not too hot and not too cold.
We always knew we wanted to do something fun for the reveal of the baby’s gender. We scoured the internet for ideas but everything seemed so generic and overdone. Keith and I also wanted to involve Pearl somehow so we came up with an idea for Pearl to wear a t-shirt and colored bandana that would reveal the baby’s gender. She did a great job and it seemed everyone was surprised. The best part was just seeing all the smiles and laughs as she tried to walk around to say hi to people. Pearl even posed for pictures at the end!
As part of the gender reveal portion, we had our guests vote on which gender they thought the baby was by writing their name on the back of a mint (boy) or orange (girl) raffle ticket. Once we revealed the gender, we selected a ticket from the pool of folks that guessed right. The grand prize winner was Liv Nedved, one of our close friends that also moved to Seattle last year, who went home with a $25 gift card to Amazon. And we didn’t want to leave out the people that guessed incorrectly so we had a secondary price which was Fas, the KS 107.5 cash cow. This went to my aunt and second mom, Bac Phuong, who then willed it down to my niece, Addy.
All in all it was a great party. Thank you to everyone that could make it and to my parents for all their help!
