Trending Gender Reveal Ideas You Should Consider

Gender reveal parties have been a source of much arguments since they became a fad more recently. Before gender reveal parties became a thing, baby showers were more the rave. Unlike baby showers which is more about giving gifts for the unborn baby(ies), gender reveals – as the name suggests – are all about disclosing babies’ sex to parents, family and friends. Parents decide to not know the sex of their baby until the day of the big reveal. Being as surprised as your guests is something a lot of people love to experience these days.

And it’s no surprise that this reveal can be turned into a party which can range from a little gathering of a few people to full-blown party of a hundred.

Many have asked ‘Are gender reveal parties necessary?’ But that’s not the bone of contention for us right now. Like the popular life saying goes, ‘To each his own’, there’s no rule that says gender reveal parties are a threat to human existence. So if you’d rather not have a gender reveal party, you can always opt for something else that suits your taste and if you are pro-gender reveal party, go for it. There’s no right or wrong here.

Our focus is to bring you amazing gender reveal ideas as you look forward to sharing and celebrating your baby’s gender with your loved ones. Here are 10 perfect trends you should consider.

What’s your Craving? – Does anyone ever get enough of tasty treats? Nah, we think not. Make your guests have a memorable day out at yours with an endless list of goodies to munch on. But here’s the twist: section everything on the menu into two groups. Pink and blue. From the cakes, cookies, and all confectionery to the lemonades, slushies, and fruit cuts, make guests choose whatever they want while sticking to the gender they hope it’ll be. We wish them good luck with that. Lol.

Get Wildin’ – How do you say you’ve had fun when you don’t let loose? Get the atmosphere bursting with a splash of colors using Silly strings or Confetti to announce your baby’s gender. Who says silly strings are only for Halloween, or confetti only for weddings? Either one of these is sure to leave your guests excited especially when they least expect it. Find on Amazon.

Scratch Cards – Nothing beats the aura of anticipation that comes with scratching off a lottery card in hopes that a big win lies beneath. Well, you can replicate that in the games session of your gender reveal party with each of the competitors first predicting what your baby will be – and then going on to scratch for the reveal. You can find cards here.

Box of balloons – If anything counts as classic when it comes to gender reveals, then a box of balloons certainly qualifies. The suspense that grips the minds of guests as they watch you tear open the box while softly quizzing ‘What will it be?’, to let a dozen or more colored balloons ascend into the skies is nothing short of amazing.
Scavenger Hunt – Have you and your guest go on a scavenger hunt that ends in at the oven with a gender reveal cake in it.

Question Mark Pinata – The baby(ies) gender is The Big Why of the day and nothing tells of that more than an imposing structure of a huge question mark symbol sitting in the middle of the gathering and waiting to be punctured to bare it all.
Gender Drink – Have the gender color made into a powered drink and hand the packet to guests when its time. When it’s time for the reveal, have guests mix the powder in water.
Color-Changing Straws – Just like the gender powdered drinks, this is somewhat easier. Share the straws when it is time for the reveal, the color would change from white to the baby(ies) gender color when in a cold drink. It changes back when removed, it’s reusable and can be a keepsake for the guests. Find here.
Pick a Side – With many conventional ideas to choose from, many of your guests will be looking forward to having their minds blown. Make it worth their while by having them choose a side (boy or girl) till the official announcement is made. One way to do this is to dress according to choice. Before the D-day, inform your guests of a ‘Wear what you think’ party. That way, they have chosen a gender to stick with all through. You can also wear ‘This or that nails’ coated with pink and blue polish, one on each side, and let them guess at the entrance. They can also pick between Mustache and Lips or any other designed props for that purpose. That way, they have chosen a group until the official announcement is made. The winning group will definitely be happy.
Balloon Pop – We can tag this and the cake reveal as the pioneers of the gender reveal options. It’s one of the oldest ways but still a classic way for a reveal. Find on Amazon.
Go Big, Go Funky With the Theme – Even if you’re not big on the pink or blue colors, you can choose a neutral color or go for a theme that suits your personal preference. If you’re a basketball fan, you can have the gender written inside a ball and get your favorite star to come around to reveal what’s hidden inside! Your guests could sure enjoy that view, you know.

And when all is said and done, please don’t forget to tread with a bit of caution and a large dose of modesty. The target is to have fun and not do something outrageous like starting a forest fire or this Florida couple who revealed their tenth child’s gender with an alligator. Cheers to gender reveal parties with multiple colours at once! (winks)
