Our Lil' Pumpkin Gender Reveal Party

We wanted to change up the traditional "pink and blue" theme that goes along with a gender reveal party. My husband and I love fall, so we decided to incorporate that with our reveal. We decided on "our Lil' pumpkin" theme. When guest arrived they cast their votes and grabbed a cute pumpkin pin. One had a pretty bow and the other had a tie. I asked them to dress in blue or pink depending on what they thought as well. We had dinner, played several games, and then cut into the cake. My husband and I did not know the gender until that very moment. It was a fabulous party and I would definitely do it again.
