Guns or Roses Gender Reveal Party

When we found out we were adopting so suddenly, we had so much to think about. So many questions and concerns. Since we hadn’t even begun the process of adoption (it was merely a desire of our hearts) when we were connected with a birth mother, we had to make a lot of decisions very quickly.

The most important decision that I made was that we wanted to treat our new child and his birth, exactly the way we did with our biological children. I didn’t want to look back and feel like there were things I didn’t do for this baby that I did for our other boys.

Naturally that meant planning a gender reveal party! Even though we only had a few weeks to put it together, I think it turned out great. My mother-in-law handled the details and did an excellent job of giving us a fun party!

We love music and thought the theme was clever so we went with a Guns or Roses concept for the party. Who doesn’t love pink roses and water guns for a centerpiece?

The balloons were filled with pink or blue confetti. Three of one color and we would know the gender.

Each of us got to pop a balloon. The kids loved being involved!

Daddy popped the last balloon, but it had both colors! Moments later, blue balloons floated up from behind the house. It’s a BOY!

Beautiful cake with blue inside!

Three boys here, three in Heaven. This summer we welcome baby BOY number seven!
