The One with What Will They Bee?!?

Last Sunday was the long awaited Gender Reveal Party. We decided to keep it small and invite our parents, brothers, grandparents, and a few close friends over for the big reveal. These people have all been a great support system in our journey to parenthood and we wanted them to be a part of sharing the exciting news. The theme was "What Will They Bee?" so the decorations were bumble bee themed with yellow and black. I had so much fun planning and crafting away! 

Here are some pictures from the day...

The Sweets Table. My mom was generous to help out with the party in many ways, one being the beautiful flowers. I had a lot of fun making the sweets which included Honeycomb cereal, Bit O' Honey, Lemon Poppy Seed Cookies... 

 Chocolate Covered Pretzels and Marshmallows

Lemonade with Mason Jars and Paper Straws

and more food that my wonderful Mother-in-law made.

Baby A & B each had a flower pot that held the Bumble Bee pops that had the gender color inside which each set of Grandparent's bit into to reveal to everyone :)

As guests arrived, they wrote down their guess on the chalk board. I was surprised at how many people guessed right. Kinda bummed too, I wanted to catch more people by surprise :)

  

Excited to reveal the news to everyone. I loved being able to share this special secret together for a few day before telling everyone. :)
