Planning a Gender Reveal Party

Throwing a gender reveal event is a fun way to celebrate your child and share the excitement of your pregnancy with your loved ones. The party itself is sure to be great, but planning it might be tricky, which is why we’re here! With this guide to help plan your gender reveal party, you’re sure to have a wonderful time without stressing yourself out.

Picking a Date and Location

First things first before picking a date for the party: find out the gender for yourself. The gender of your baby is usually recognized 18-20 weeks into your pregnancy. If you have confirmation from your doctor, then you can go ahead in deciding on a date. Just don’t wait too long, or you might miss out on the opportunity for the big reveal before the baby comes!

The location should be based on whether or not the event will be casual or formal. If you’re planning on having a bunch of fun activities for guessing the gender, it would be best to have the party in a large, open space. If not, then reserving a table at a restaurant or casual venue will be perfect. Make sure to send out invitations, physical or digital, to notify everyone you would like to be apart of the festivities.

Is There a Theme?

Choose whatever creative theme you’d like to celebrate the gender of your child. You could decorate with gender-neutral colours to keep your guests guessing until the big announcement, decking out your venue with various shades of yellows and greens. Or you can play it safe and sophisticated with a neutral colour scheme.

What About Food?

You don’t need to worry about this if you’ve decided to celebrate at a restaurant, but if you’re throwing the party yourself, then you need to settle on a menu. This will depend on the season in which your party will fall. Do you want a summer barbeque outdoors or gender coloured desserts around the fireplace?

The Big Announcement

Now for the most important part: how are you going to reveal your baby’s gender to your guests? There are many creative ways to go about this, through games or food, it’s up to you! But if you’re drawing a blank, here are a few popular ideas.

Surprise treats are an easy way to kill two birds with one stone. Have any desserts you’re offering be filled with the colour that traditionally corresponds with your baby’s gender. Whether it’s filled with icing, coloured sprinkles, anything you want.

Fill a pinata with pink or blue confetti before having guests, one after the other, wack it to reveal the surprise everyone’s been waiting for.

Balloons in a box. Whether it’s one giant balloon or several smaller ones, stuff them into a box. You could either have the balloons themselves be blue or pink or tie something to the bottom of the bundle, like gender-specific baby booties.

Smoke signals or sparklers, both choices are an elaborate way to surprise your guests in the best way. Make sure any wrapping or colour indicators are neutral so it doesn’t ruin the big announcement.
