n Saturday, July 11th at the Littlefield Shultis Community Park in San Bernardino, a special baby gender-reveal took place for a young couple expecting their first child. Oscar and Jocelyn Mena were married in November 2018 and recently discovered that Jocelyn was pregnant and due in late November. Jocelyn’s sister, Tannya Munoz, wanted to do something special for them - to give them an “adventure.” The perfect baby gender-reveal project was now underway.

Tannya considered several baby gender-reveal options like the traditional cake and soccer ball reveals; Tannya decided on an aerial banner theme. The plan included several details like the proper table settings, balloons, decorated backdrops, games, prize giveaways, tabletop decorations, food, drinks, raffle tickets, and more. Tannya planned and choreographed the moments before, after, and during the reveal itself. A commercial airplane company was hired to tow a large aerial banner announcing the baby’s gender to fly over the Reveal, cont. on next pg.
