How to make a Gender Reveal Box

Step 1… Plan your Gender Reveal Box design

Personally, my favorite is a plain kraft box with some simple embellishments or words on it.

Words that work well include:

This is…

Male or Female?

Pink or blue? Time to find out!

Brother or sister?

He or she? We want to see!

Twinkle twinkle little star, we wonder what you are!

Now these are some examples of some simple designs to inspire you.

Step 2… Gather your supplies!

Now that you’ve planned your design, you’re ready to get started! This is what you will need…

Step 3 – Assemble your Gender Reveal Box!

• First, put your box together and secure the bottom with packing tape
• Then cover the box with your chosen paper or paint. If covered with paper, wrap it like a gift.
• You remember cut out the pieces for the flaps and tape down to keep it nice!
• If you leave it plain, just assemble your box!

Step 4 – Decorate!

• Now decorate your box however you want!
• Use super cute and easy stickers.
• Print and paste the designs or words
• Keep it simple with pink and blue dots and hearts.

Finally, this Brother or sister sign also comes as an instant download and is perfect for Baby’s second or third reveal.

Step 4 – Insert Balloons!

• I cant can be confusing to figure out how many wolves to put in your box. However, you don’t want to overfill it, because the balloons can get stuck and not come out. In my experience, around 12-14 balloons all you need
• First, tape the ends of the balloon strings to the bottom of the box
• Then close the lid and use a ribbon to close them
• If you are not “in on the surprise” you will need to get a friend or relative who knows the gender of the baby to do it for you!!

Now your DIY Gender Reveal Box is ready for the big reveal!

Then, gather your closest friends and family, count down from 10 and open the top of the box! Finally, your pink or blue balloons pop and your baby’s gender is revealed. Remember to have your camera ready!
