Bump Smitten. Celebrate With Kate {Baby Landers Gender Reveal Party} | Layla Grayce Backroom Blog. Make Way For Our Little Duckling Kate Landers here again, this time to share with you a personal event–the baby gender reveal party my husband and I hosted for our first little one arriving this fall! I find gender reveal parties to be an excellent creative outlet for all those mamas-to-be who want to design and plan an event to celebrate their very special upcoming arrival.

Whether you choose to keep it intimate with just immediate family or large with everyone you know, it is a wonderful time to share your joy with others. We had a most memorable celebration, revealing to our families that we will be welcoming a little BOY into our lives! Despite a no-show photographer and our pup Henry eating the custom cake less than 2 hours before the party started, we managed to take what came our way and made the best of it–and looking back, I couldn’t imagine it any more perfect.

A couple “lessons learned”: Don’t hire a new photographer last minute–be prepared with a back up plan. A Frugal Girls Night Out. Bump Smitten: Real Baby Shower: Ready to Pop. Happy Monday! Let's kick off the month of August with an adorably designed baby shower from Natalie Papaj of All Buttoned-Up Event Planning. Love the color palette -- yellow, orange, blue and green -- as well as the modern polka-dot "POP" design seen in the invitations, cupcake toppers, food & drink labels, etc.

Thank goodness she knew to pair up with Jess Radlich of Jess Creates for not only the graphic design but also the photography. SUPERB! From Natalie... As owner of All Buttoned-Up events, I knew I could only call on one person to collaborate with and host a shower that would be exquisite – Jessica Radlich of Jess Creates. It’s hard for an event planner to totally lose control of the reigns, but Jess was able to pull off a few surprises to keep me on my toes! We wanted to do something fun and light by incorporating the colors and Michael Miller fabric from the nursery with the “about to pop” theme to create a vibrant party for our guests.
