Creative Gender Reveal

I was wracking my brain to think of a unique and creative gender reveal before we found out what we were having, when it hit me that I had to do something with paint. I love art so this felt just really true to us (or more to me actually, but Sol (my husband) was game for anything!)

I loved the idea of making art that could also be a cool keepsake, so I decided to mix two jars of paint - one with “boy” colors and the other with “girl” colors. We then gave Sol’s sister the jars and the paper with the baby’s sex results and had her cover/tape up the relevant one and give it back to us. I was going to do a canvas at first but I also have always loved painting on blank skateboard decks and thought that could be a really cool piece to put in the baby’s room, so Sol spray painted one white for us.

We then blindfolded ourselves (looks like we’re hostages in the photos 🙈) and poured!

Sol and I wanted to find out alone first, so we did the paint pour ourselves on our patio and then did a separate small reveal for our families. We wanted to include our nieces and nephews in that one since were super close to them, so we had them pop four big balloons with hidden confetti inside for everyone else to find out that we’re having a baby girl! 🥰 💗
