If you’re looking for a fun theme for your upcoming baby shower, consider throwing a gender reveal party! Keeping guests in suspense and finally revealing the baby’s gender is such a memorable way to celebrate a new baby.

I used pink and turquoise burlap table runners down the middle of my table to give it some serious color!
