I ordered custom M&M's with both our boy and girl name on them in white about 2 weeks before to ensure we would have them in time. Once we found out the gender we picked up a bag of blue M&M's at the store to add to the white ones. I got little boxes at the craft store and blue and pink ribbon. I did half in pink and half in blue.
We had everyone pick a box with there gender guess and when they opened them they could see if there ribbons matched. A few days before I mailed 2 boxes to my grandparents in SC so they could participate and open along with everyone. They were on the phone with my mom when everyone opened the boxes.
Our pink and blue boxes.
Inside were blue and white M&Ms! Brayden James was custom printed on the white ones.It was a fun moment!! The guesses were all pretty mixed and our family is thrilled to have a boy on the way! I am so glad we decided to do a special gender/ name reveal. It's something we will always remember.
