The most memorable gender reveal photos are ones that have personal meaning behind them. For example…
The more the pictures relate to the expecting family the better.
Gender reveal parties are so much fun! When planning, it’s best to pick a theme that suits the family. Are the parent/s to-be more likely to enjoy something silly and fun? Or would they like something more pretty and elegant?
There are myriads of great games and activities for guests to participate in during a gender reveal party.
Its always fun to have friends indicate what “team” they are on. Pins or stickers can be handed out that say whether the guest thinks baby is a boy or girl. Friends and family can even be encouraged to show up wearing a shirt the color of the gender they guess the baby is.
If the crowd is a competitive, it can be a riot to play a few “minute to win it” type games pitting the “Team Boy” guests against “Team Girl” guests.
All snacks and decorations can be based around the theme you have chosen. A “Witches or Warlock” party might include some butterbeer. A “Twinkle Little Star” party may have beautiful stars and constellation decorations. It can really be as elaborate as you’d like or as simple as you please.
The moment you have all been waiting for! What is this sweet baby? A little girl or a little boy? For the big reveal, it’s smart to make sure you have a good camera ready to catch the amazing moment.
The traditional filling of the cake can be the color of the gender. Even though this isn’t a new idea, it is still a crowd favorite and has a fun factor to it that doesn’t get old. There are some amazing gender cake and cupcake ideas out there that you can put your own unique spin on.
Sport loving families might love the idea of either hitting a baseball (or kicking a football) with blue or pink powder inside that reveals the gender.
Another well-loved idea is the box of balloons you open where pink or blue balloons and confetti come out. A newer play on this idea is a pull pinata. These pinatas can be found on Amazon or can be homemade. Also, large 36″ balloons filled with confetti can be used in place of a pinata and popped for the big reveal.
Powder cannons are our top pick for gender reveals because these are bright, fun, and look great on camera. It’s an added bonus if the parent/s are wearing white. This can be something just the parents do or you can include the whole crowd. A variation of this is paint bottles or squirt guns filled with blue or pink paint. You can also use silly string. This is an especially fun way for siblings to get in on the reveal of their new baby brother or sister.
No matter your interests or preferences, there’s a perfect gender reveal idea waiting just for you! Pick what fits your personality and style and simply sprinkle a little baby-dust magic on it. Gender reveals are a fun way to show your love and excitement to welcome your baby-to-be, as well as an engaging way to involve your family and friends in the joy. Happy gender reveal planning to you!
