1. Timing and Preparation

When setting up a large gender reveal party, timing is crucial. Between receiving your gender card and ordering your reveal products, it's easy to rush and end up with a basic, small event that falls short of your expectations.

To ensure a memorable and organised celebration, start planning 1-2 weeks in advance, you may ask, "How can i plan up to 2 weeks in advance?" - Foundational Elements detailed below.

Begin with the basics:

These initial steps will reduce stress and allow you to focus on the finer details once you have the ultrasound and blood test results.

2. Organising the Guest List and Catering

Once you've organised the essential elements like the style, colour palettes, and booked your photographer/videographer, it's time to focus on the guest list. Deciding who to invite can be tricky, but here are some tips to make it easier:

Choosing the Guest List

Consider key family members and friends you've seen consistently in the last 2-3 months. This is an intimate and special moment, and most people will understand if they are not invited. Avoid stressing too much over the guest list; invite those who matter most to you.

 

Catering for Your Guests

With a guest list of 8-50 people, catering might seem overwhelming. Fortunately, there are budget-friendly options available. Costco, for instance, offers bulk catering packages that are both affordable and convenient. If there's no Costco near you, look for other wholesalers that provide similar services.

Here are some catering suggestions:

  • Sandwich Platters: $10-$15 per platter, serving up to 15 people each.

  • Donut Platters: Around $10 each, serving 5-10 people.

  • Variety and Bulk: Think in terms of variety and bulk to organise catering for around $200-$500, including drinks.

Adding a Personal Touch

If you want to include some custom catering, consider small finger foods like:

  • Fruit platters
  • Mini chicken salads
  • Veggies and dips
