Prioritize comfort

Your guests (and mom-to-be!) will appreciate comfy spots to relax. Choose a venue with:

Winnie the Pooh gender reveal decor ideas

Think whimsical woods, soft colors, and comfy spots for lounging.

Psychologist and party-planner extraordinaire Dr. Daniel Glazer advises: “When planning decor consider a palette that blends several soft tones rather than the usual blue and pink.”

• Keep it cozy: Add hammocks and comfy camp couches to outdoor spaces; deck out living rooms with blankets and pillows.
• Keep it lit: Adorn the space with flameless candles, string lights, and LED lights in mason jars for extra ambiance.
• Keep it colorful: Add balloons and streamers in on-theme colors: soft pastels, honey yellow, red, earth tones.
• Key elements:
  • Handwritten signs (“Rabbit’s Garden,” “Pooh’s House”)
  • Honey pots 
  • Vintage storybooks 
  • Woodland plushies
  • Fresh foliage
  • Tea pots

Pro tip: Use natural materials like burlap, wood, and twine for a warm, rustic touch.
