Gender reveal party

This weekend some friends got together to find out if Nicki and Eric are going to have a baby girl or baby boy this summer. The anticipation was building because they found out on Monday and made us all wait nearly a whole week before sharing the news!

We went with a bumble bee theme for the party: What will it Bee? I found most of the ideas on Pinterest and tweaked them to work for us. Pinterest is a gold mine for party planning and food ideas!

We had some great food. Several people brought yummy things to share:

My first attempt at decorating sugar cookies, modelled here by the new mama and daddy:

There were some fun decorations:

The spray painted jars ended up working perfectly:

Everyone wore either a moustache (if they thought the Appel's were having a boy) or a bow (for a girl):

The cake was a bit of an experiment, to say the least, but in the end it served the purpose:

It’s going to beeeee a:

BOY!!!

And because we are just that cool:

And because these are too cute not to post:

Amy and I even got to eat some food while these ladies entertained our boys. We love our Cambridge aunties!

Congratulations, Appels! Can’t wait to meet baby boy in a few months!
