Anticipating gender is one of the most exciting things about pregnancy and why you want the gender reveal party to be epic. Finding out the gender of your baby sets the tone for the nursery, baby shower, and picking out a name. Couples scour the internet to find the perfect reveal. Because this is life-changing news, and it has to be unforgettable. Confetti cannons, gender reveal cakes, and balloons inside a box are all great, but are they unique or out-of-the-ordinary? Those gender-reveal ideas may be great for other people, but the Zuelly family wanted to be more creative.
