Our Halloween Themed Gender Reveal

Mike and I were so excited to find out the gender of our baby but wanted to share the moment with our friends and family. Since we were going to be able to find out around Halloween we thought it would be fun to throw an epic Halloween themed gender reveal party. Here are a couple things we did to make the party a little extra special.

The Invitations:

The invitations were very time consuming but turned out SO cute and were just what I wanted. I stared by cutting out the diaper shape, then making the insert and adding the ribbon.

The Decorations:






I thought it would be cute to have everything Halloween colored while still incorporating baby items. So, I purchased everything baby I could find and had my husband get out the spray paint. Surprisingly, we were able to find a lot of decorations at the Dollar Tree and we purchased the cauldron from Party City.

My Costume:

I loved the idea of having "Team Pirate"- for boy and "Team Mermaid"- for girl but finding a costume that would fit my growing belly that I would feel comfortable in was hard so I decided to piece together my own.

My Pants:
These are super stretchy but I sized up anyways

My Top:


Bodysuit:
Was from BooHoo however I think it is no longer available

My Husbands Costume:

The Smoke Bomb:

We got both colors and had our friend put the correct colored smoke bomb in the bag. She also wrapped it with foil (leaving the wick out) so we would not be able to tell which color it was. We also  bought a couple extra so we could test it out and we could have backup incase it didn't work. We put some sand in the bottom of the cauldron for the smoke bomb to sit on so it didn't melt the plastic cauldron and I would also recommend having some water nearby in case anything catches fire. The entire backyard filled with smoke so I highly recommend doing it in a very large open space away from everyone.

The Cauldron:
It took a while to find a cauldron that was big enough but after some serious searching I was able to find one at Party City. I had to go into the store because I wanted to make sure it was the correct size and that it didn't have any dents in it since it was a flimsy plastic.

    Love this! I’m going to do this. Thanks for the idea. How big was the cauldron ? You lit the smoke bomb with a match?
    Thanks so much!

My Baby Registry In the months leading up to my delivery date I wanted to make sure I purchased/registered for everything and anything that would make the first few weeks with a newborn easier. Here is a full list of everything that I think is a necessity and will save you from last minute amazon orders or cvs runs. * Disclaimer-  None of the items below are sponsored.

Create your registry here: Sleep Swaddles- I purchased sooo many swaddles before Bella was born because I wasn't sure which one would work best for us. These velcro swaddle blanket sacks made it so easy for us to keep her tucked in and comfortable for naps and bedtime.   As soon as she outgrew the swaddleMe sacks we started using these Halo sleep sac

Our Bedtime Routine

Our Bedtime Routine After taking the Taking Cara Babies courses we were set up for success at bedtime but knew it was important to have a bedtime routine. I wanted to create a bedtime routine that was simple and that we could realistically commit to doing every night. Some details might seem small and unnecessary but I think they are all important steps. Here is what we do: 1st- Enter the nursery around 6:50pm 2nd- Feed Bella 6oz bottle while holding her in the rocking chair 3rd- Make sure Bella gets a really good burp 4th- Take Bella to the changing table in her room, change her diaper, add butt paste, put on her nighttime diaper with a pull-up over it (she always wakes up wet if we don't do this). 5th- Put her footie PJ's on with a thin sleep sack on top and then a fleece sleep sack over it. (She use to use the Magic Merlin so I think she likes a little more weight). 6th- Sit back in the rocking chair and my husband comes in to read a book. 7th- H
