Right/Left Game - Gender Reveal Party

I shared our gender reveal party the other day here, but since I got a lot of comments/emails about the actual story that we used I decided to just go ahead and share it on the blog.

Basically it's just a fun little game where everyone stands in a circle with an object (we used bottles from a party store). As you read the story, everyone passes their object right when they hear the word right and left when they hear the word left. I underlined all the right and lefts, just to help. It's more fun when you get a lot of rights and lefts in a row because it gets a little hectic.

This story was written about our relationship, but we used the names Mr and Mrs Wright to incorporate more rights in there. It's all about getting creative and finding ways to add a right or a left! Believe me, you cannot play this game without laughing!

Mrs Wright left Pineville in 2008 and moved to the city of Shreveport. Mrs Wright became a nurse and was hoping to one day meet Mr Wright. One of Mrs Wright’s friends knew the right guy for her to meet, Mr Wright. He had just left from a house fire and decided to meet Mrs Wright at Logan’s, a restaurant that was right down the road from where he had just left. After they left from their first date, they knew that this was right. Mr Wright decided it was time to ask Mrs Wright to be his wife. He drove all around town to find the right ring. He took a couple of left and right turns to get to the right destination. He made the right purchase and left the store. Mr Wright wanted to take Mrs Wright on a romantic getaway. They left as boyfriend and girlfriend and came back engaged. That’s right! Mrs Wright said, YES! Mrs Wright started to plan for the big day. She wanted everything to be just right. Both Mr and Mrs Wright became one on October 2, 2010. They left for Jamaica that night to start this big adventure called marriage. 
In May 2012, Mr and Mrs Wright found out they were expecting! They prayed and thanked God for the right timing. They left all of their worries and concerns behind and trusted in Him. Will Mrs Wright be having a baby girl? Where a bunch of broken hearts will be left? Or will Mrs Wright have a boy that will have all of the girls lined up right outside their front door?

Once we finished reading the story, everyone got to open their bottle and one revealed that we are having a sweet baby girl. Feel free to email me if you have any questions regarding the game!
