We got these invitations from tinyprints.com and could have loved them more! They were printed on shimmer paper really gave the elegant and vintage feel that we really wanted. I have ordered other things from Tiny Prints before and have never been disappointed with their work and they come in the mail really quick! I highly suggest looking into them for any party invites, announcements, or Christmas Cards you may be designing coming up!
Back to the party though! So we had everyone place a bet in one of two jars for each couple (boy or girl). You stuck a sticker with your name on the dollar (it is illegal to write directly onto the dollar!) and placed it in the jar that you guessed the gender would be. We gave hints by framing a chart that told what Old Wives' Tales predicted we would be having. It was really fun to read through everyone's guesses after the party.
So once everyone had placed their bets, we asked everyone to step outside for the big reveal! We had gender colored confetti and streamers in wrapped boxes that we would open at the same time to reveal the gender of our future children! What I loved most about this was that from the balcony we could see everyone's reactions!!! It was such a special moment!
Wahooooooooo!!! Girl for the Frey's (us) and Boy for the Snyder's!!!
