If you aren’t waiting until birth to find out the sex of your baby, take a look at these incredible Gender Reveal Party Ideas. Creative and unique gender reveal ideas that incorporate pink or blue, he or she. Smoke bombs, confetti, balloon pops, and surprise boxes. Get ready for the excitement!

Gender Reveal Party Ideas

Well I couldn’t start this post without sharing our Twins Gender Reveal. We had a big family gathering and my husband I knew the genders (no one else did.) I guess when it’s baby 4/5 you give up on keeping it a secret from yourself, too. Plus, being older I had blood work which revealed things early.

For this gender revel we used this exact set of Gender Reveal Confetti Poppers. I went ahead and purchased them on my own. We made a circle around the table and our extended family did it together on the count of three. I love the faces of my girls seeing that we were having two MORE younger brothers. I got a shoulder shrug and a foot stop after this photo but they wouldn’t change it today for the world – wink!

If you are hosting a Baby Shower with this gender reveal, save this Baby Shower Games printable as seen in our list of Baby Shower Games & Printables. It’s a great way to get your crew engaged and having fun.

New Years Eve Ideas for Kids

November 29, 2020 by Ashley at Frugal Coupon Living Filed Under: Facebook, Instagram, Party, Pinterest, Seasonal, Social Media Leave a Comment

Let’s all say good-bye to the past year with these New Year’s Eve Ideas for Kids. Ring in the New Year with memorable New Year’s Eve recipes, crafts, activities, games, printables & more.

New Years Eve Ideas for Kids

Anyone else ready to jump into the new year…. see you later, 2020! Bring on 2021. Let’s home for something different. Whether you are celebrating 2021, 2022 (or whatever year we might now be in), we have some of the best New Year’s Eve Ideas for Kids. These can be for toddlers who are in bed with the sun or for older kids who will welcome in the new year at midnight. And let’s be honest, these fun activities and ideas are for adults too. Create family traditions with these New Year’s Eve ideas for kids (and adults too)!

Happy New Year!

Tips for Young Kids: Toddlers and young children do not have to stay up until midnight. You can still reenact a countdown just in a shorter period of time. For example, make the hour change every 10 mintues or 30 minutes based on when you start and want to end. Obviously, they have no idea of the real time. It can still be a memorable day and family tradition with earlier hours.

New Year Celebrations have to include a memorable game. We created this New Year’s Eve Charades Game. We included 18 charades cards as well as 9 fill in the blank cards. You can print the blank cards as much as you want created as large of a game as you need or want. In your blank cards add either family memories (if playing with your immediate family) or add trending year events (if playing with a larger group of friends.)

New Years Eve Party Charades Game Printable

How to Play Charades

Charades can be played with any type of word or phrase. There are two sets of rules for charades games. You can play based on points or based on time.

Charades based on points

Split into two teams. On each teams turn, one person acts out a topic for their teammates to guess. They cannot use any words. Use a clock to track the time, giving each person two to three minutes for their turn. If the team guesses the charade in a set amount of time, give the team one point. If they do not guess correctly, they get zero points added to their score. At the end of all the rounds, the team with the most points wins.

Charades based on time

Split into two teams. On each teams turn, one person acts out a topic for their teammates to guess. They cannot use any words. Use a clock to track the time, giving each person two to three minutes for their turn. If the team guesses the charade in a set amount of time, at that time is added to their score. If they do not guess correctly, the full time is added to their score. At the end of all the rounds, the team with the shortest time wins.

Ho-Ho-Hosting a Holiday Party

Ready to end this year with a big bang? Okay, maybe a small bang with intimate friends. Host a Christmas dinner party without breaking the bank. Keeping a low cost holiday party, doesn’t mean you need to avoid all the bells and whistles. You can still bring friends together with the perfect party food, tablescape, warm ambiance and jovial atmosphere. Follow these hosting ideas and tips to create a festive atmosphere to your holiday entertaining.

We decided to step up our Hosting Tips and Tricks and share more ideas about Hosting a Christmas Party! Of course, combine the ideas from both posts to create the ultimate Christmas party!

Don’t host a party, without setting the setting with a Holiday Stovetop Scent. This fall simmer pot recipe rolls over into Christmas well too. Consider adding a couple drops of Pine Essential Oils. You can also see our Holiday Essential Oil Blends.

Don’t forget the music. Music will set your party theme. It doesn’t have to be loud but create a festive holiday atmosphere with an Amazon Music playlist (get a free Amazon Music trial for the party.) Either add the songs to create your own party playlist or use one of their many suggest Christmas Party Music Playlists. Use a bluetooth speaker or Amazon Echo Dot.

One stress free hosting hack is to get all your bowls and utensils out days before. Label where each dish and food will go so you know what you still need to borrow from family or a friend. | Pioneer Woman

Add color and a pop to your Christmas party tablescape by adding these candy cane place card markers. | Janine Ngai for LittleThings

Speaking of place markers, in our Wine and Cheese Party Ideas, we have have free printable cheese markers. A great low cost Christmas Party Idea is to offer snacks instead of dinner. You can also pick them up on our free printables page.

What do you do at a holiday party? One idea is to incorporate Minute to Win It Games or Christmas Name That Tune Game. This gets a crowds energy up. Want something a little calmer, try a Holiday Wreath Making Party or Ornament Exchange Party. You could also go back to a traditional Christmas Cookie Exchange.

Play reindeer games! This Gift Grab Party Game keeps a crowd lively. You can of course supply your own presents or have people bring presents like a White Elephant Party. | Fun Squared

Don’t have a fire place or don’t want all the heat? Have a relaxing fireplace screensaver for TV. This fire place crackles for 8 hours! Your TV will need a YouTube app to watch this fire effect on TV.

Instead of having an open bar, consider creating a signature drink. This allows you to stock up on one type of alcohol & mixers. These 31 Holiday Cocktail Recipes give you direction.

Reduce or even skip the ice. Favor something more festive, like frozen berries, frozen grapes, even lime and lime wedges. Put them on a wooden skewer, dip them in water, then freeze. Guests drinks will stay cold, give some extra flavor and look fabulous. These frozen grape skewers even help to mix the drink. | Delish

Birthday Family Traditions

You say it’s your birthday! If 2020 has shown us anything, it is how to slow down the pace of life and enjoy our immediate family. Some of the things that social distancing has instilled in our family is hopefully new family traditions including family birthday celebrations. We all took a hit on celebrating with friends, in a restaurant or traveling to far and distant places. This year we learned to celebration those we love by coming up with family birthday ideas!

We have a list of family birthday traditions, birthday time capsules and even a free printable birthday interview for your kid. Create memories and enjoy experiences over buying gifts with these Birthday Family Traditions!

Enjoy – and happy birthday!

Birthday Family Traditions

Let’s talk about family traditions for the birthday. I have learned (as I have had more kids) to keep it simple but special. While that can sound like an oxymoron, it’s important for us to keep the cost low but celebrate the child. One way we have kept birthdays family focused is by having a birthday celebration with friends, every other year. Then every year, we also have a family celebration. Sometimes, we choose to vacation (even if it’s only a weekend getaway) during the overlap of a birthday to make the child feel extra loved while surrounded by those that love her/him most.

Take a look a these family birthday traditions in our original post idea – Family Birthday Celebrations.

Family Birthday Ideas

Have a Birthday Breakfast
Have a “Yes” Day (say yes to everything reasonable)
Fill a Bedroom with Balloons
Have a Birthday Scavenger Hunt
Do Something New
Visit a Favorite Spot
Fill the Yard with Birthday Decorations
Have a Family Game Night (or Day)
Take a Family Trip
Have a Drive By Parade
Use a Birthday Plate and Decorated Birthday Chair
Have Experiences over Gifts (bowling, amusement park, vacations …)
Pay It Forward with a Random Act of Kindess
Add to a Birthday Time Capsule

Pay it Forward on Your Birthday!

One of our favorite family traditions is paying it forward. Use this Pay it Forward Birthday Random Act of Kindess Idea to have your kids give back on their birthday. Stop by the Dollar Tree or event he Dollar Spot of Target and drop off these free printables random acts of kindness notes with a dollar. Reward another child. Kind of like a surprise party favor for a stranger.

Birthday Time Capsule

One way to celebrate your child is to continue a birthday time capsule. You can begin with a first birthday time capsule that you add to every year. This can be smaller box just to represent the first year of life or you can create a large memory box you add to each year. One idea is to go through art work, photographs, saved school work, special moments and see what you want to keep or toss. This is a quick and easy way to declutter as well as save what is important in a yearly time capsule.

What To Include in a Birthday Time Capsule

Newspaper of the Day
Birthday Party Favors and/or Decorations
Money Printed that Year
Artwork
Birthday Invitation
Birthday Cards for Relatives and Friends
Letters to My Daughter or Letters to My Son
Birthday Photos
Handprint Art (or Footprint)
A Message from a Sibling
Yearly facts: Top songs, price of gas, current trends, etc.
Birthday Interview Questions

You can do this for the first birthday and continue on every year. If you will be doing this birthday family tradition annually, grab a larger plastic container.

Birthday Interview Questions Printables

Using a birthday time capsule, make sure to add your Birthday Interview Questionnaire. Every year give your child a birthday quiz to see how they have changed and evolved. I love that this birthday interview includes a space for a birthday photo. Such a great visual way to see how a child has grown.

Birthday Interview Questions

What makes you happy?
What makes you sad?
Who is your best friend?
What do you like to learn?
Where do you want to travel?
What is one thing you are good at?
What is your one wish?
What do you want to be when you grow up?
Tell me your favorite…?

Family Reunion Ideas

April 19, 2020 by Ashley at Frugal Coupon Living Filed Under: Facebook, Instagram, Party, Pinterest, Social Media 2 Comments

The season is approaching – the season of reuniting! We have plenty of fun Family Reunion Ideas from planners, games, printables, decor, party favors, t-shirts and more. Everything you need in one place!

Family Reunion Ideas

We are getting close to that time. The time where families reunite…

Reunited and it feels so good….

I had to go there in song, of course.

Are you ready for a good ‘ole family reunion? We have so many family reunion ideas from Family reunion quotes (for your photo table), to family reunion printables, family reunion games, family reunion party favors, and even family reunion decor.

Some things we didn’t share but you can add to your planner are sack races, bean bag toss, a slide show and talent show. These are classic games that will include the older generation in a bit of nostalgia.

If there is something we missed, share it with us in the comments!

We’re both are so excited ’cause we’re reunited, hey, hey…

Family Reunion Foods

We don’t introduce any family reunion foods but some suggestions include a potluck. One night, have each family make a giant size of their families favorite dinner dish. You could even include recipe cards so everyone can go home with a copy of the recipe. When they make it at their house, they will be thinking of you over dinner. We like these vintage recipe cards to share your family recipe.

Another idea is to create a theme. Is your family Cuban? Have a weekend worth of authentic Cuban food. Are you at the beach? Host a seafood night or scout the best restaurants on Yelp – call ahead, we bet you have a large party! You could even create a BBQ, Taco night, Chili night etc.

Family Reunion Quote

We wanted to get you this printable with a family reunion quote first. Print it and display it in a wooden 8×10 frame. It is great for the center of a table adorned with family photos.

“Family. Like branches on a tree, we all grow in different directions yet our roots remain as one.” — Unknown

Favors for Family Reunion

A few keepsakes can help you remember the fun. Get something practical that can be used over and over. Grab a t-shirt, but know it might become a sleep shirt. The Favors for Family Reunions will get your creative juices flowing.

Pass out a keepsake. We love these personalized Family Reunion Stadium Cups. These bright state cups are also cute Family Reunion Favors.

Family History Daily had four unique Family Tree Templates. Have your best scriber write down names and dates and make a copy for at Staples for everyone to keep. You could even frame it!

Using a projector (grab a mini one that connects to your phone) display relatives from far away on the wall and take a photo. Process the photos and make sure you hand out photos for everyone. (Source Diana212m)

Family Reunion Games

Nothing brings loved ones together like laughter and games produce laughter. Keep the good times rolling by filling the event with a few memorable Family Reunion Activities and a fun game or two or three.

Make the party happen with Family Reunion Activities. Kids love these Family Approved Minute to Win It Game Ideas for engaging activities for a reunion or take a look at these ideas below.

Everyone can participate in this Toss ‘n Talk-About Family History Ball. I encourage you to do these conversation starters with the oldest generation and RECORD IT! We did this (without the history ball) for my grandparents and they both passed within a year of me recording it. I am so grateful I had those family stories on tape.

Need a party idea? Looking to host a white party theme event? We have all the White Party Ideas to get you celebrating. From White Party Decor, White Party Foods, and White Party Outfits, take a look at these resources to get your starting. Happy partying. Happy white partying!

White Party Ideas

While we made an adorable Winter ONEderland Party (for a one year old), I get a lot of visitors for White Theme Party Ideas. Because of this, I wanted to take some of our Winter Wonderland Ideas and incorporate it into an adult white party, for those of you that are looking!

What is a White Party? Do not get confused, a white party is not to exclude any race. In fact it’s pretty opposite. It is to celebrate all! The White Party Theme is pretty self explanatory. It is a party where the color white is the theme. From the food to the party decor, the clothing, the tablescape and more, everything is attached to the color white. White parties are great for bachelorette parties, baby showers, New Year’s Eve celebrations, summer parties, or really any occasion.

White parties are best in the evening from sunset to late at night. The white is perfect for lighting techniques like black lights, candles, or even fairy lights. The biggest struggle is likely with the food. Trying to find white food can be especially challenging. Pinterest is always a great place to find white food but we also included some White Party Food ideas below.

Before your party begins, don’t forget to download your White Party Music Club List!

Enjoy the party!… we mean the White Themed Party!

White Party Decor

The easiest way to have white food is to have a white candy buffet. It requires no baking but really brings your color pallet forward. I love Oh Nuts which allows you to shop by color. I recommend some these Anchor Hocking Heritage Hill Jars, also hit up the Dollar Store for cheaper options. Candy Warehouse also has a whole White Party Candy Buffet kit (glass not included). Don’t forget the white rock candy!

For tables, rent or buy white flamingo petal tablecloths for beautifully decorated ambiance. They look beautiful with a light source below them. |

Need some table inspiration? Pull from this Brit.co White Tablescape with touches of rose gold. We love the white flowers draping from above.

On the table, mix white hydrangeas and white candles. Various styles and sizes of glass candle holders would be best. I suggest tea lights, short candles, tall candles and even floating candles – so affordable! Also, introduce mercury glass candle holders. It really pops when lit! | Wedding Chicks

Light up the night with these unique paper lanterns that are an exquisite addition to your White Party Decor.

And when all else fails, just buy a lot of white balloons and white string! | Source

White Party Foods

Champagne Margaritas combine the wonderful flavors of champagne and margaritas in one fun White Themed Party Drink Cocktail ~ perfect for adding a unique twist to your white party, or to your random Tuesday. | The Kitchen is My Playground

Care for a white party dessert? Instead of a white cake, these sugar cookie truffles are a four-ingredient no-bake recipe that uses sugar cookies, cream cheese, white chocolate and sprinkles. Did we mention they are white? | If You Give A Blonde a Kitchen

White chocolate is such an easy solution for covering sweet and savory foods. We love these White Chocolate Covered Pretzel Rods with mini candy pearls. | Martin Thornburg

Cheers! Have fun with White Party cocktail – the White Chocolate Snowflake Martini. | Lulus

White vanilla meringue cookies and a Styrofoam cone make these Light & Airy French Meringues the perfect snow cap touch to your Party Tablescape. Editable and decorative = win! I would suggest sprinkling on some edible glitter to make it sparkle. | Source Also seen in our Winter ONEderland Party.

White Party Theme Ideas

Get ready to find a Netflix series in sit in front of the TV for awhile. This DIY Wax Paper Backdrop is adorable White Themed Party Decor. They use Wax Deli Sheets but I kind of was thinking Snow Cone Cups might even be better? | Style Me Pretty

Frugal and friendly, try these DIY faux ice candle holders. Get the icy look without the mess. A sweet touch of white decor. Add an evergreen twig or leave it off. | Entertaining Diva

These white plates have a pretty silver rim. Such an affordable price and no one is left washing the dishes at the end.

Offer some shade! Not a cold snub but a white party bamboo umbrella! Protection from the sun or surprise showers, either way, these pretty parasols are helpful and handsome. | Style Me Pretty

A pergola is the perfect place to hang white drapes for your White Party Themed Setting. | Style Me Pretty

Collect various white wine and white glass bottles (or visit the Dollar Store.) Pick up White Corked Fairy Lights for beautiful illumination in the dark.

Tip: Test all the lights before the party. Do not use until. Some of these cheaper lights will only have a few uses and you don’t want them to run out before the big event. If some are not working at purchase, write Amazon and see if they can replace. That way you are not disappointed the day off!

Don’t forget the invite! Send your guests this White Party Invitation with all the specifics.

White Party Dresses

Don’t let your white party attire be a struggle. Clearly, make sure your tops, dresses, bottoms and even shoes are white. It’s best to have a good tan to allow this color to do it’s thing – pop! I would suggest sunless tanning lotion. You can a day or two before to prevent it from bleeding on your outfit. You can view some of my top three best sunless tanning lotions.

Cut Out Long Sleeve Bandage White Party Dress

V-Neck Bell Sleeve Mini White Themed Party Dress

Crochet Pom-Pom Bell Sleeve Dress
