Que-so, is it a boy or girl? Cast your vote for a Boy or Girl with festive fringed tacos! This Taco Gender Reveal Voting Station is extra like guac, but oh, so fun! We recently created this voting station for our Food Truck Gender Reveal Party and it was a huge hit! It ties in perfectly with any taco-themed gender reveal and isn't very difficult to put together. Follow the easy step-by-step instructions below to create your own!
To begin, apply painter's tape to the inside edges of the frames of two Large DIY Unfinished Wood Frames with Wire. Using White Crayola® Washable Acrylic Paint and a paint brush to add a layer of paint to the frames. Allow to dry completely, then apply a second coat. Allow to dry completely, then peel away and discard the tape.
Using scissors, cut out the signs on the Taco Gender Reveal Voting Booth Printable. Trace the "It's a Girl" and "It's a Boy" signs onto a piece of foam poster board. Cut along the inside of the shapes that you've traced so that the rectangles are a bit smaller than the actual signs. Use double-sided tape to attach the signs to the foam board, then hot glue the signs to the inside tops of the frames.
Cut two lengths of jute ribbon about forty inches long. Hot glue the ends of the ribbon to the corners of the frame. Secure with packing or masking tape, if desired.
Cut out the "Que-so" sign from the printable PDF and repeat the same tracing and cutting process as above on the foam board. Cut two 16-inch lengths of jute ribbon. Use hot glue to attach one end of each strand onto the back of the sign, a few inches in from each side edge.
Assemble the Tabletop Tiki Hut, omitting the flowers. Wrap the loose ends of the "Que-so" sign ribbon around the top front pole of the hut and arrange the sign so that it hangs in the center of the hut. Secure the ribbon into place with packing tape. Arrange the frames on either side of the sign, then tie each frame securely onto the top pole with a strand of jute ribbon.
Now it's time to create some taco voting ballots! Download and print as many Printable Taco Ballots as you need. Use scissors to cut them out, then fold each ballot in half to resemble a taco shell. Unravel Hot Pink and Blue Fringe Streamers, then fold in half lengthwise. Add hot glue to one side of each shell, then attach the fold of the streamers so that the fringes stick out like lettuce. Trim with scissors. Hot glue Mini Clothespins to the back of each ballots so guests can clip onto the frames to cast their votes.
Arrange the hut onto a table so that it sits securely. Place the battery packs of Boho Pom-Pom LED String Lights at the back poles on each side of the hut (you will need two strands of lights). Drape the lights to the front poles, then up toward the center of the hut so they meet in the middle near the "Que-so" sign. Display the taco voting ballots in Neon Food Baskets in front of each frame. Add a finishing fiesta-themed touch to the booth by situating some Tissue Cactus Centerpieces around the base of the hut.
