Ideas for a Gender Reveal Party

Pregnancy is when one happy news follows another, and it's up to you to share it with others. We already know how to announce a pregnancy, and now we want to share ideas on revealing who is growing in your belly: a boy, a girl, or maybe both?

But first, let's determine the best time to hold the party:

Usually, such parties are held no earlier than the 20th week, when the baby's gender is visible on an ultrasound. However, in some cases, doctors can determine the gender at the 16th or even the 12th week, but be prepared for a surprise where a boy turns into a girl and vice versa.

It's better to wait for the second screening, where the doctor will confirm the baby's gender, and the belly will be big enough to look nice in photos. Here are some ideas for a gender reveal party:

Give a note from the ultrasound doctor to your favorite bakery and ask them to make a cake with a colored filling, where blue means boy and pink means girl. Example: gender reveal cake ideas.

This option is perfect for just the two of you. You'll need unique props: white T-shirts, blindfolds, paint of the required color, and containers for the paint.

Ask the photographer to help tie your eyes and pour the paint. Then dip your hands in it and leave unique prints on each other's T-shirts while the camera clicks away. Just imagine showing these photos to your child in a few years. Example: gender reveal photo session ideas.

Gather your loved ones and share the touching moment when you find out who will soon join your family using colored smoke—a spectacular and bright method. Here are some ideas for using colored smoke.

For the celebration, a small wardrobe or suitcase is prepared with baby onesies and shirts, traditionally in blue or pink colors (which can be mixed with white or beige tones).

Organizers prepare contests for the expectant parents and their guests, and at the end of the celebration, the parents-to-be open the door of the wardrobe or suitcase to find out the gender of their baby.

This recording will give everyone goosebumps! A child's voice addresses the parents, reveals some of their secrets, and then discloses the baby's gender – one of the most memorable options for a gender reveal party.

Simply search for companies that provide voice-over services. They will explain how to get this recording for your event.
