This party was so much fun to style and put together! Be sure to check out the whole mermaid or little fisherman gender reveal. One of the best parts is the way the reveal actually goes down! A message in a bottle is the perfect way to tie in the reveal with the mermaid and anchor theme. I made this centerpiece using various supplies I found to go with the party. Let’s make it!
Make the water beads. These are so much fun! Have you played with these yet? Once they become beads, fill the bottom of the medium vase with them. Place the bowl on top of the mirror. I love how this reflects the pearls.
Place the mermaid and a starfish in the bowl.
Fill the bottom of the smaller bowl with the blue acrylic ice, anchor and another starfish. Stack the smaller bowl on top of the bigger one.
Next, let’s do the actual gender reveal! Print the gender reveal printable and then assign a neutral person to do these next steps!
After reading the results of the ultrasound, pick the correct reveal and put it in between two pieces of paper to make sure no color is showing. Roll the paper up and secure with tape.
Place the bottle into the hanging globe with a little of the silver sand in the bottom. The sand, the bottles, the globes, the charms…they are all used in other parts of the party, so it’s great that they come in sets!
Now set your DIY centerpiece on your party table and let the nerve wracking wait begin! What will it be? A cute little fisherman or a sweet mermaid?
