One of my favorite themes for boy 1st birthdays and baby showers is Sock Monkey parties. They have a built in retro feel and you can decorate them so easily with sock monkey toys (and other vintage toys), sock monkey cake pops, cookies, and printables!

Have you seen how popular gender reveal baby showers have become? For those of you who don't know, a gender reveal baby shower is when the mommy-to-be and daddy-to-be reveal the gender of their baby at the party. I really think the added element of surprise brings a lot of fun to these showers, especially when the guests get in on the guessing.

Michelle at Printabelle designed this incredibly cute "Who Will it Be?" gender reveal printables collection and I'm excited to be giving them away!

This collection includes: invitations, welcome sign, cupcake toppers, water bottle labels, gift bags tags, mini candy bar wrappers, and a fun "Who will it be, a He or a She?" banner.

Here's how she did it...

MATERIALS

• Plastic animals
• Small screw eyelets
• Drill
• Spray Paint
• Thin 26 gauge wire for hanging

DIRECTIONS

First, Laurel used a power drill (an exciting moment in her life!) to drill a hole in the middle of the animal, then screwed in an eyelet.

Next she spray painted her animals, two coats or more were needed.

To hang the garland, she used thin wire so that the animals would stay in place.

And look how great it turned out!

And here's the garland in action at the baby shower she threw!

Thank you, Laurel for letting me share your ingenious idea and adorable garland!
