Gender Reveal Party Pins
Today I’m sharing how I made the bow tie and bow pins for our gender reveal party. They were super easy to assemble and didn’t cost less than $5 to make. I thought they were a great way for our guests to wear their guesses. I felt awkward telling people to wear blue or pink clothing so this was my compromise. I will say, it was fun to walk around and see everyone’s guess.
Supplies:
• paper cut-outs of bow ties and bows
• pin backs (JoAnn Fabric)
• hot glue
My friend, Jacque, was kind enough to help me make the bow ties and bows. We used sturdy scrapbook paper. Here’s the link to the Silhouette templates (bowties | bows), if you have a Silhouette or know someone with one.
If you don’t have a machine that can cut out images, you can always trace and cut them out by hand. Of course that’s very time consuming. You can purchase cut-outs of these shapes on Etsy as well. Just type in “gender reveal bow cut-outs” or something similar.
Once you have your cut-outs, grab your glue gun. Put a little bit of glue on the back of the pin back and press it onto the backside of your cut-out.
I made sure mine were for right-handed people (don’t hate lefties– I’m married to one), so it’d be easier for the majority of people to put them on. Right the gluing process until all of your cut-outs are done.
I set the bow ties and bows on our entryway table so people could put on their guesses as they arrived for the gender reveal party.
I made about double what I needed. We had around 20 people at the party so I made 20 of each just to be on the safe side.
These are so cute!!!! I have seen a lot of people doing the bows or bow ties for gender reveals I think it is so cute. Thanks for the tutorial!!
These are adorable! I absolutely love them!
super cute.
Love these!! Also, where is the table from?! 🙂
Thanks! I got the entryway table from Amazon.com nearly 5 years ago when we moved into this house. Unfortunately, it’s no longer available. 🙁
Super cute. LOVE these!
Love your reveal party! How did you make the cute print-outs that you framed (Old Wive’s Tales, Blue or Pink)? Any chance you could share those as printables? They are adorable!
So cute! For the boy or pink what do you think sign in the frame.. Where did you find that? I am not too tech savvy with making something like that!
Thanks 🙂
I am having a gender reveal party this coming weekend.. is there anyway you will share the “Blue or Pink” What do you think? And the Old Wives Tales image? Or let me know where you got them? Thank you so much for the cute ideas.
Hi, Sallie! A friend of mine made them for me. You should be able to find some on Etsy where you can purchase the digital download and print on your own.
