Fall "Reveal" theme - HELP?!!

missamERICA

This time around we want to do a "gender reveal" (I know, I know.. it's "sex" not "gender").

We are planning on having it the day after Thanksgiving and I really wanted to do some kind of Fall theme with it -- but I'm not having any luck..Pinterest hasn't given me anything I liked, nor has Google and I have been wracking my brain -- so I am turning to you wise women for ideas. If anyone has any cute sayings, etc that you can think of.. or any way to tie in turkeys, being Thankful, pumpkins, etc I would love to hear them. Being that it's fall I really want to stay away from the traditional "pink or blue" type stuff.

TIA!!

This may be cheesy but I am a photophop fanatic so bare with me. We are team green but if I were doing a fall reveal, I would take a picture of me and DH laying in a bed of leaves. I have a remote and angled tripod but you may need a friend's help. I would wear a cream sweater and have DH in a brown sweater so not to distract from the fall colors. I would hold one single pretty leaf (an Oak leaf or something big and interesting shaped) in front of my chest/heart. Then go in photoshop and tint the leaf blue or pink. If it's blue and either of you have blue eyes I would also tone the eyes to be more vibrant as well. Also adjust the curves to get the glowy look and fix any skin imperfections.

Then I would caption it "So much to be thankful for this holiday season!" I don't think you have to explain the pink or blue leaf, except if you're sending it to your great grandma lol I have Photoshop CS6 and these are all super easy edits but if you aren't familiar or don't have the program you can probably do most of it on the free version (Elements). 

I hope this helps!

I'm sure someone out there has done this at some point but I haven't personally seen it. I think it would look much classier than anything involving paint, ribbons, or balloons lol It is just the first thing that came to mind because fall is my favorite season. Our "reveal" was us holding the U/S pic and everything was blurred except the picture. It was pretty cute!

Sorry for a third post - I just noticed you have a son already. Maybe you could instead get him laying in a bed of leaves and tint one. This would only really work well if you are having a girl though, otherwise it may seem like you just tinted it because he is a boy. But if you captioned it something like "So thankful to be adding another precious boy to our family!" That would work too! Or have him wear a white long sleeve shirt and use photoshop to a message on it like "I'm having a brother/sister" or "Thankful for my new brother" etc.  Just some ideas!!

My idea is nowhere as cool as the ideas above but perhaps you could take a picture of a pumpkin with either a mustache (boy) or a pink bow tied around the stem (girl) and have the caption read:

For a boy: Boy oh boy, are we ever thankful this year! or something like that

For a girl:  Tis the season for sugar and spice!

I actually think this is incredibly precious!

Oooh I love the pumpkin idea and especially the caption "boy oh boy...." that is precious.

@jennypolkadots I love the leaf idea. So cute. thanks ladies!

If you're into football and not totally against gender specific "stereotypes" you can do something like "Football player or cheerleader, what will it be?"

I like the "Boy oh boy" idea too.

This is cute if you want to do pumpkins

Obviously you need to find a way to shove something pink/blue up a chicken's ass and make a Turducken.
