Girls vs. Boys Gender Reveal Party

Are you a new mother-to-be or know someone who is pregnant? This is a truly joyous occasion that must be celebrated in a wonderful way. Of course, there's the baby shower with the million different shower themes that you can pick from that suits the mother and gender of the baby. However, have you thought about celebrating finding out the gender of the baby? It's a fun way to get everyone together and announce it especially since everyone anticipates this day so they can run out and start buying gender themed items. Wedding and Party Network has a great girls vs. boys gender reveal party that everyone will love.

For the party invitations, explain the details of the party and tell them to pick a boy or girl for their gender. You can even tell them to dress in the colors of what gender that think the baby is going to be.

Girl Or Boy?

It's all about the party decorations. Of course, the main colors should be pink and blue. Divide all your party decorations into half pink and half blue. This goes for absolutely everything. Table cloths, balloons, signs, pomanders over the food table, napkins, plates, utensils and streamers should all be pink and blue. Get creative with the signs. Let them say "Team Girl" or "Team Boy", "Girls Are Better" or "Boys Are Better" or something along those lines. You can even make t-shirts that represent what gender you are rooting for. Don't forget to put question marks everywhere.

Create pink and blue food for the party. Just like the party decorations, make sure your party food is all about the pink and blue. This party maybe on the week day so if it's later, think about just serving desserts. Have your bakery create a cake that is neutral on the outside, however, let them know beforehand and have them color the cake inside blue or pink for the big reveal. Also, serve up cake pops, cupcakes and cookies that are colored blue and pink on the outside, but have the gender color on the inside. They can be whatever flavor you like, however, champagne flavored maybe appropriate for some. Decorate everything with question marks and when everyone bites into their sweet treat they'll be pleasantly surprised to find out the gender. Serve up different colored drinks as well. Whatever the guests choose, they must stick to that color of food to let it be known what gender they think it will be.

For the big reveal, you can have everyone pick up a dessert, while you cut the cake and have everyone take a bite at the same time to find outside the gender. Everyone will love celebrating and finding out the gender together. You can share this joyous occasion with your close friends and family and celebrate together.

Fanatic Fans Will Go Crazy Over These Sports Themed Cakes!

When planning a wedding the most important details are the perfect wedding location, reception venue, photography, party food, wedding cake and of course, the dress. We all know that the groom truly cares about the wedding and marrying the love of his love, but he leaves the small details up to you. So brides tend to forget about the one thing that is truly catered to the groom, his groom's cake. He has dealt with your "bridezilla" moments, so why not think of him. Even after the wedding, offering up a great birthday cake will truly melt his heart. Here is a great idea for any guy: sports themed cakes!

Unique Sports Themed Grooms Cakes

Showcasing his favorite sports team logo on a sheet cake is fine, but take it to the next level! Your local bakery will do an amazing job creating 3D cakes, tiered cakes or a shaped cake. There are endless possibilities when creating a groom's cake. Your guy is a huge sports fan. Whether it be baseball, football, basketball, hockey or soccer; they can create it. He deserves an extraordinary sports themed cake for his birthday and especially his groom's cake.

The Football Guy

First off, when you think of football, you think of tailgating. Have a great bakery create a birthday cake or groom cake shaped as a cooler! How amazing! A sports cake created to look exactly like a cooler is so unique. Have his favorite sport's logo put on the outside of the cooler with his favorite beverage placed inside. He will absolutely love it!

What about a stadium cake? A replica of his favorite college or pro football stadium sounds absolutely unreal. Replicating the football field, lights, scoreboard and fans will make this cake over-the-top! A sports cake shaped like a football jersey, football or football helmet will make for a great cake too. Your great guy will love any of these sports themed cakes for a groom's cake or birthday cake. He'll truly appreciate the thought that came from you.

Fun Sports Themed Birthday Cakes

The Baseball Fanatic

Again, tons of great ideas for the baseball fanatic too. Sports cakes created to look like baseballs, bats, jerseys, hats or the mascot will send him over the top. If you really want to do the trick, create a replica of the baseball stadium! Amazing bakers can create the actual baseball field with the bases and home plate.

Surrounding this sports themed cake with the bleachers, scoreboard, dugouts and perfecting the stadium details down to the very last. Every brick, column, fan and color will be created with exquisite detail. He will truly be amazed that you thought of this, whether it be for his birthday or groom's cake.

More Sports?

Of course, your guy may not be a huge fanatic of football and baseball so your local baker can cater to him too. Golf, hunting and car racing might suit your guy better. So have your baker create his a golf ball, golf club or even a replica of a golf course. So neat! With hunting, there are endless possibilities. Create hunting guns, deers, antlers, ducks or even a hunting field. Your outdoor guy will absolutely love that. Again, there are endless possibilities when creating cakes.

You have the perfect location, delicious food and your dream cake; now give the groom something. Guys aren't big on details and are not fans of having all the attention focused on them. So cater to what they enjoy and wow them with a sports themed groom's cake or sports themed birthday cake that they'll never forget.
