If you haven't figured out already, we're expecting our 2nd child in 2012. Not too long after we told the family Baby Bristow #2 was on the way, my MIL came to me about doing a Gender Reveal party when we found of the sex of the baby. This is a new trend on a way to reveal the sex of the baby. There are several ways you can go about it, just
Google "Gender Reveal Party" and enjoy at the creativeness. I will explain how we chose to do it. So here goes: Instead of us waiting to find out the sex of the baby, on the day of the anatomy ultrasound, we let the Tech reveal the sex to us. We asked her to also write the sex of the baby down on a piece of paper and sealed it in an envelope. I then gave the envelope to my MIL, who had already discussed plans with a local bakery. The bakery was to bake a cake and on the inside of the cake, layer the corresponding icing color Blue=boy Pink=girl. The day of the Reveal Party, my MIL prepared an elaborate dinner as well as the decor. I might add that her decor was absolutely wonderful and don't know who could have done it any better. After dinner, it was time for dessert, Yes the infamous reveal cake. Since Ray and I already knew the sex of the baby, we let the grandmothers cut the cake to reveal the sex to everyone else. Watch below. . . . .
