💡 Gender Reveal Tips for July

‍

• Mind the heat: Midday sun is hot—plan your reveal early morning or golden hour for comfort and dreamy lighting.
• Lean into what you love: Love fireworks? Go big. Prefer barefoot and chill? Watermelon wins.
• Prep for outdoor fun: Offer shaded spots, drinks, and easy kid-friendly activities (think bubbles, sidewalk chalk, or mini fans).
• Keep the focus on joy: Whether you’re hosting 50 guests or just a few close ones, this is your moment—make it feel good.
