Although it may sound more like a grown up theme, don't worry, here are some tips that will help you choose the best decorations for a cute gender reveal baby shower.
Decorations
Invite parents-to-be for a photo session. Take photos and
then craft some handmade frames (pink or blue) to frame the photos. You would
preferably need 12 photos, which after digitally processing and printing, you
will arrange on the wall in a shape of a clock and can simply use cut-outs for
the hands of the clock. This will be the main decoration of the baby shower,
around which all other items will flow perfectly along. Use a round table
for guests (if possible, order a clock table cloth that will match the
theme and some name tags for guests). Paper sun, moon and stars decorations
also fit in the scenery warmly!
Invitations
Since it's a gender reveal party and the theme is around
clocks, you can craft your invitation based on these two characteristics. Craft
a paper clock but instead of hours you can place words that will clearly guide
your guests to the baby shower date and place. It's simple - sweet and will
save time for other activities.
Food and drinks
For around the clock themed baby showers use food and drinks
that mark a special time of the day such as midnight snacks, tea or breakfast
bars. Besides these, a centerpiece of chocolate cupcakes and vanilla cream top
decorated with a number matching a clock hour and two caramel sticks for clock
pins will leave your guests speechless. Next to it fill some cute baskets with
clock cookies, you only need sugar, white frosting and chocolate gel decorator.
As far as for drinks you can always pick anything you want or you feel inspired
but how about some virgin Pina Colada that will fit with the cookies and table
cloth.
Order a cake that matches the theme, meaning a cute clock
cake and ask the bakery to put mustaches and bows instead of hours. This will
be similar to a roulette wheel of what baby's gender will be. Prepare the
surprise for the interior of the cake by filling it with blue or pink butter
cream. If you're not into revealing the gender via dessert, there are numerous
other ways that the gender can be revealed to guests!
Baby shower games
Set some alarm clocks in the room before guests arrive. Set
the alarms at different hours. When one alarm goes on, reward the guest that is
standing closer to the mom. All the attendants will be surprised and enchanted
by your the game.
Another fun game consists of gathering the wrist
watches of all guests in a bowl (for this game you should suggest guests to
bring one), mix them and after that blind fold all your participants and direct
them to pick one watch from the bowl. After that, each one of them has to guess
who's watch is it. Reward all you guests with baby shower favors such as
handmade wall clocks using old records and colorful buttons that you can
personalize in order to be more authentic, or wrapped cookies in the same
shape. The clock is ticking!
