When a family find out they are having a baby they naturally want to know if it is a boy or a girl. That desire becomes even more evident when you already have a child. For those that don’t want to wait until the child is born, they have a gender reveal party.
At a gender reveal party, a friend finds out the big secret first and devises a way to tell it to the expecting parents.
But, first you have to have a meal.
Guests gather under a tent in the back yard to find out the gender of the Jaime and Bertha’s baby.
