Apartment Therapy DC | Help Us Make the Ultimate Cocktail Party Playlist

We didn't throw a party, but we did ask the genetic counselor (I had a CVS) to send the results revealing the baby's gender in an envelope. We opened it alone on vacation in a special place but, funny enough, we did not feel like sharing the happy news right away. It was our little secret for awhile, but our mothers would not let us alone. So, finally, we sent each of our mothers a big, pink bouquet of flowers. I have also seen people send out an e-mail to family and close friends of their belly with the gender written across it or a little sign propped on the belly.

I had a really intimate baby shower in a private area of a restaurant - I loved it. But at bigger showers, I think some direction is needed. At one shower I went to, we went around the room and all of the mothers gave a piece of advice or a story. I was not a mother at the time and still enjoyed hearing everyone. Also, I was at a baby shower where everyone was asked to bring their favorite children's book, which were then displayed - very cool way to start someone's nursery library. Lately, I have been to more and more co-ed showers - one was a couple's brunch where gifts were opened and another was a cocktail party, where gifts were left in the corner for later. Both were fun and got the guys involved too.

Hi Morgan,

We painted our 6-week old daughter's nursery a Benjamin Moore paint color called Wales Green. We love the way it came out. The color pairs really well with her Dwell "motif" bedding as well as a bright orange glider in her room. It's a nicely balanced green - refreshing in the day and soothing at night. Best of luck!
