Here's How to Overcomplicate a Baby Gender Reveal!

This week was vacation in Virginia Beach with the Guerrieri Fam!

Somehow we managed to keep the baby gender a secret for about a month and spent that time racking our brains on the most fun, original gender reveal for Steve's side of the family. After several suggestions ranging from delicious cupcakes to cake pops to...injecting hot dogs with a dye so when family members bite into it, the dye flies all over the place (guess who's idea that was?)...we chose...the violent act of throwing darts.

We blew up 15 black balloons and filled ONE of them with colored confetti that corresponds with the sex of the baby (well, okay, Steve sat on the floor and meticulously filled the balloon with confetti. Turns out it's as difficult as you'd imagine.). We created a baby-themed trivia game so if you answered a question correctly (example: which is an actual lyric of Justin Bieber's classic hit "Baby"?), you got to throw a dart.

Hit the wrong balloon and nothing happens. But hit the right balloon and you get confetti, the answer to "Boy or Girl?", and are deemed the WINNER!!!

For the family history books, while being a winner is great, we also wanted to throw in an extra prize. So, of course, we re-gifted our white elephant present from Christmas at the Guerrieri household -- a 25-pound, crafted in the Dominican Republic tastefully (??) depicting a naked man holding a naked woman. You can just imagine the TSA agent's surprise when they saw a sexy statue going through the X-Ray machine.

What we learned about this baby reveal:

• The Guerrieris are not great dart throwers
• This baby gender reveal took longer a heck of a lot longer expected
• You shouldn't stand too close to the dart wall

In the end, Brother Scott was the victor of the reveal and the statue, which he tried to "forget" at the vacation home. Don't worry, we made sure it ended up in his car.

And since you, loyal reader, cannot play our convoluted balloon game, we'll just reveal to you now that the confetti was...
