Location
First things first, you need to decide where the shindig is going down. Here are some options:

- Park – A beautiful park with lots of greenery makes for great outdoor celebrations.
Decorations
Now onto the fun part - decorating! This is where you can really let that creative side shine. You'll want all kinds of pink, blue or neutral decorations depending on what color palette (fancy term) suits your theme best.
Table Decor:

|---|---|
| Tablecloths | Choose from pink for girl / blue for boy / yellow/green for neutral |
| Matching silverware | forks/knives/spoons/ Oh My! |
| Blue & Pink Balloons | Makes everyone feel festive |
Wall Decor:
- Banners - A "He" Or "She" banner should suffice
- Photo booth props - İsn't it always good when guests can snap pictures in style?
Make sure not to go overboard on decorating as it could detract from the big event!

Drink Options:
