5 Fun Gender Reveal Party Ideas
Although they’re a more recent tradition, gender reveal parties have now become a phenomenon around the world. Finding out the gender of your baby is such a special milestone in your pregnancy, and sharing this joy with your friends and family can make the occasion even more memorable. It’s also much easier to reveal the gender to everyone at the same time than share the news with everyone individually! If you’re hoping to throw a gender reveal party but don’t know how to do it, then here are five fun gender reveal ideas.
Fireworks
To make the occasion truly special, you could reveal the gender of your baby by hosting a fireworks display. Pink fireworks would show your guests that you’re having a girl, and blue fireworks can be used if the baby is a boy.
Fireworks displays are a fantastic treat for your guests, but safety precautions should always be followed to avoid accidents. If you choose to buy fireworks online they should only be bought from reputable retailers like Ghengis Fireworks. Additionally, guests should stand at a safe distance from the fireworks while one responsible adult lights them – no alcohol should be consumed by those handling the fireworks.
Balloons
If you’re nervous about handling fireworks, you could go for a smaller idea instead. Popping a balloon filled with pink or blue confetti is a simple yet effective way to reveal your baby’s gender. Another option is to fill a box with pink or blue balloons and then open the box for the reveal. If you don’t want to know the gender yourself until the big reveal, you could ask a friend to do this for you if the sonographer writes down the gender and seals this note in an envelope.
Cakes
If you love desserts and sweet treats, then why not incorporate this into your gender reveal party? One of the most popular gender reveal ideas is to use pink or blue filling on the inside of a cake, so you can’t see the colour from the outside. Then, when you cut into the cake, you’ll reveal the gender of your baby! Instead of using coloured filling, you could use pink or blue food colouring on the sponge itself or hollow out the middle of the cake and fill it with blue or pink sprinkles.
Piñata
Similar to a confetti balloon (but perhaps even more fun), you could fill a piñata with blue or pink sweets and hit it until it bursts, revealing the gender of your baby. To get everyone involved, let your guests have a go at hitting the piñata. This is a great option if there will be children at your gender reveal party.
Powder Cannon
If you want something a bit more exciting, you could use a powder cannon. When you set off the cannon, it’ll release a cloud of blue or pink powder to reveal the gender of your baby. This option is perfect for outdoor gender reveal parties on warm, sunny days.
With any of these ideas, you could have an amazing gender reveal party. Remember to get your guests involved by having them vote on what they think the gender is when they arrive!
