For those who want to celebrate every moment of the parenting journey, gender reveal parties are a great chance to gather loved ones for the big reveal. Once upon a time, parents-to-be only got to have one party: a baby shower. But now, we pile on the parties with everything from a gender reveal to a traditional shower to a sip and see.

Not only are babies a big reason to celebrate, but future parents need to squeeze in all the socializing they can before their new baby arrives (and takes over their social schedule). A good gender reveal party is part guessing game and part spectacle. And with the right gender reveal theme, you can check off both of those boxes and prove that you’re about to be the coolest parent in town.

We’ve put together seven gender reveal themes that will help you make your announcement in style. Whether you’re having a boy or girl, these themes will keep your guests guessing until the very end.

These are a few of our favorite things: parties that warm cold winter nights, receiving adorable digital invites, gift swaps so fun you can hardly believe you’re leaving with something you’d want to receive!

The only place you can find all three of these things is at a favorite things party. A favorite things party is your answer to the white elephant party, which involves a lot of gag gifts that are good for a laugh but end up in the trash as soon as the party is over. 

But a favorite gift exchange includes all the awesome little things that your friends, family, or co-workers can’t live without. So, not only is this gift exchange party a great way to discover your new favorite thing, it’ll also help you get to know some of your favorite people a little better.

If you’re tired of gag gifts and you’re ready to get (and give) something good, then you’re ready to host a favorite things party. We’ll walk you through the planning process step-by-step and share fun gift ideas to fit your price limit.

The holidays are almost here, which means it’s time to start planning your holiday cards and gifts. With the cost of everything rising and a move towards more eco-friendly practices, a gift exchange makes perfect sense.

This way, you can swap thoughtful gifts with one another without breaking the bank — making this an affordable and fun tradition.

If you’re looking for gift exchange ideas, you’re in the right place. Discover some of the best reasons to introduce a holiday gift exchange this year, as well as some of our favorite gift exchange ideas. Plus, we’ll share some fun invitation designs so you can let everyone know your plans.

For a celebration that makes you say “Aaahhhhh,” you need a spa day. Spa days are an ideal way to celebrate lots of life’s big moments — from bachelorette parties to bachelor parties and baby showers to bridal showers. And a spa birthday party is one of our favorite ways to celebrate another trip around the sun.

At a spa birthday party, the guest of honor can let go of any stress from the past year and take on their next year of life feeling refreshed and ready. Yes, a spa day is one of the most relaxing ways to spend your day, but planning a spa birthday party for a big (or small) group can be a little less relaxing.

We’ll help you get through it by sharing tips that make the planning process almost as relaxing as the pampering process. Here’s how to plan a spa birthday party from start to finish (or perhaps from start to Finnish sauna).

Two of our favorite b-words are “brunch” and “baby-to-be.” Mention either and we get giddy with anticipation. So, when it comes to celebrating the baby-to-be (and their expectant family), a baby shower brunch is the best thing ever.

With all the yummy brunch food — from waffles to avocado toast — that little one will be doing cartwheels in the tummy. And the expectant parents will be just as excited to have one last brunch before they get really busy.

Brunch has benefits for the baby shower’s host too. Breakfast food is some of the simplest and tastiest food you can prepare (or purchase) for a crowd, so this baby shower theme is easy to plan.

We’ll help you put together your own baby shower brunch with ideas for your invites, menu items, and more. It’s time to introduce this baby to the good things in life — starting with brunch!
