🎨 Tips for Planning a Fall Gender Reveal

Choose a cozy color palette: Think burnt orange, mustard, rust, burgundy, and neutrals — with your pink or blue pop.
Dress the part: Ask guests to wear their guess (Team Pink or Team Blue) to make photos more fun.
Include seasonal snacks: Offer apple cider, pumpkin donuts, hot cocoa, and caramel apples.
Don’t forget the details: Use hay bales, mums, plaid blankets, and wooden signs to add to the fall vibe.
