It has become a popular form of gender expression. Many people do fun and unexpected things to reveal the baby’s gender.

Gender Reveal Party Decorations
Here are some gender reveal party decorating ideas to help you create a memorable and exciting gender reveal party! Remember to consider the wishes of the parents and the overall theme of the party when choosing decorations.
- Backdrop: Set up a backdrop with a “He or She?” sign or a “Boy or Girl?” sign as a focal point for photos. You can make one using a large poster or a fabric backdrop with pink and blue colors, ribbons, or other gender-neutral decorations.
- Table Decorations: Decorate the food and gift tables with pink and blue tablecloths, table runners, or centerpieces. You can also use themed table decorations, like baby bottles, pacifiers, or baby blocks, to add an extra touch of cuteness.
- Gender Prediction Board: Set up a fun interactive activity where guests can vote on a gender prediction board. Provide pink and blue stickers or markers for guests to place on the board to guess the baby’s gender.
- Photo Booth: Create a gender-themed photo booth with props such as mustaches, bows, and “Team Boy” or “Team Girl” signs. Provide a backdrop with a gender reveal-themed design or use pink and blue balloons as a backdrop for fun photo opportunities.
- Balloon Bouquets: Create balloon bouquets using pink and blue balloons, or balloons filled with pink or blue confetti. You can use them as centerpieces, tie them to chairs, or spread them around the party area.
- Colorful Streamers: Use pink and blue streamers to create a festive backdrop for the party. Hang them on walls or ceilings, or create a fun archway for guests to pass through.
- Gender Reveal Banner: Hang a banner that says “It’s a Boy!” or “It’s a Girl!” to add excitement to the party atmosphere. You can make your own using colored paper, or buy pre-made banners from a party supply store.
- Streamers and Bunting: Use pink and blue streamers or bunting to decorate the walls, doors, or ceiling of the party area. You can twist them together or hang them in a crisscross pattern to add a festive touch.
- Outdoor Decorations: If you’re hosting an outdoor party, you can decorate the space with pink and blue balloons, banners, or even a gender-themed banner or flag. You can also use outdoor lights, lanterns, or fairy lights to create a magical ambiance.
Gender Reveal with Sibling
A good idea is for a couple who already have a child to ask the child to change their shirt mid-shower. The new shirt says “I’m having a baby (either a brother or sister depending on the gender of the baby)” then the child can just walk around the room silently waiting for everyone to notice. For couples having their first child but with a dog, they can do something similar.
Gender Reveal Cake
The centerpiece of a gender reveal party is usually the cake or cupcake. You can have a cake or cupcakes with a plain white or neutral color outside, which when cut into it reveals either a pink or blue filling, frosting, or a hidden gender reveal topper. On top of the cake, you can write “She?” in blue “He?” in pink and “open to see!” This is a fun way to reveal the baby’s gender!
When the cake is cut the cake itself is either blue or pink revealing the gender all at once. If you leave it out on the table throughout the shower it can really build anticipation. Everyone will spend the whole day thinking and it builds up to a big reveal.
You can also fill the center of the cake with candy like M&Ms in either blue or all pink. You can use the same idea if you’re going with cupcakes instead of a big cake. In this case, you don’t have to hide the beautiful cake. You can make a cake with a similar concept when making a polka dots cake.

Gender Shows Favors
You can also go with “it’s a Girl” or “It’s a Boy” themed party favors like chocolate cigars, waffles, or lollipops. Anything that says gender to them will work perfectly. If you are making cookies as favors, then have pink or blue chocolate M&M’s in them. Neatly placed in a cellophane bag with a cute blue or pink ribbon with a personalized message to say it’s a boy or girl.
Gender Reveal Games
You can find scratch games that reveal gender if you prefer to reveal during game time. Just like lottery tickets, you scratch the silver to reveal the baby’s gender. You can give one to everyone at any time during the shower. It’s easy and fun, not to mention something that no one expected. They may favor your party.
You can paint your stomach with either “I’m a Girl” in pink or “I’m a Boy” in blue and whenever you want, whichever moment is right, you can stand up and lift your shirt to be the gender of the baby is real. all at once.
If you want to surprise others the next idea is perfect. Have the doctor write the gender on a piece of paper then put it in an envelope and seal it. Go to a party store and tell the clerk that you want to be surprised about the gender of your baby. Explain that the baby’s gender is on the envelope and read it and fill a large box with pink for a girl or blue for a boy helium balloons. Close the box with the lid to him and write on it “what is this? Open and see.” And then when you open the box all the balloons will fly and everyone will find out together.
