Decide on a venue
The perfect venue is paramount, as it will influence various aspects, including the budget for food and drinks. Unless the expectant mother is on bed rest, an outdoor event often provides a more enjoyable and memorable experience for both you and your guests.
Plan activities and the reveal
As it's a celebration, you'll want to provide entertainment for your guests. Games are a great way to keep them engaged and amused while they await the big reveal, in addition to the refreshments. Crucially, decide how you will reveal the baby's gender. Often, the more impactful and memorable the reveal, the more successful the party is perceived to be.
Hire a team to cover the event
Finally, ensure your special event is well-documented. This typically involves hiring a master of ceremonies to guide the proceedings, a photographer to capture still memories, a videographer to record the event and a DJ to provide the soundtrack and keep the energy high. Without a record of the celebration, how will you and your loved ones reminisce about this significant milestone?
