gender reveal with balloons

If you’re in a room of guests or simply staying simple with your family, revealing the gender of your baby is easy and fun with balloons! Make them part of games, or combine them with confetti to create the perfect “pop” of fun – endless possibilities.

(1) Balloon Pop Reveal: You can’t go wrong with a balloon filled with confetti to explode! Large balloons are the best for this as they’re easy to buy on the internet. Look at the one featured in this giddy celebration from Shining On Design. 

Just pop the balloon with a pin and revel in blue or pink! If you have children older than you, think about letting them join in the fun and letting kids pop balloons like Angel’s Instagram.

(2) Older Child Surprises with Balloon Bundle: One way you can engage the older child(ren) involved in an exciting reveal is to let them surprise them with pink or blue balloons. 

It is possible to ask a trusted adult to carry the balloons to the location and give them to your children to be used to reveal the surprise. @sazan is a great instance of this kind of idea, which shows a child hiding in a room and delighting the parents by releasing balloons.

(3) DIY Colored Powder in Balloon: It’s pretty easy to make your color powder, either pink or blue. You can find the recipe at Ali-ish.com. Then make sure to fill the balloon and let it make a splash!

(4 5,) Balloon Box Reveal: instead of popping balloons, you can get a whole box! You just need a big cardboard box, embellished with “Girl or Boy?” (via Snickerplum), or questions markers “He or She?” (via Sugar Spice and Sparkle) 

Then, ask a trusted friend who knows the gender to choose blue or pink balloons that will fill up the box. If it’s time for a surprise, you can unzip the box to unleash the balloons!

(6) Balloon Letter Box: The addition of gigantic balloons for letters to identify the gender, such as The Cake By Hannah, makes the surprise more exciting.

(7) Custom Balloon Box: Don’t want to make your own? It’s simple to make a custom-made one that includes your name as your last.

(8) Gift Bag Balloon Reveal: Swap out the big gift bag for gift bags and present one to each child (or nieces, nephews, grandparents, etc.). Put a balloon in the bag and secure it with an easy ribbon. Then let them pop in unison. (via Mumstastic.com)

( 9) Balloon Dart Throw: An extremely fun way to include balloons in your reveal of gender is to make it into a darts game. 

Make a board of plywood filled with balloons, where one is filled with blue or pink glitter. The guests can play darts until the balloon stuffed with confetti is opened to reveal the gender! Check out Sarah’s Day on Twitter for some ideas.

(10) They Pop To See:  This kit contains everything you need to play exciting games to reveal the gender of your partner. Just put it together and then throw darts at the balloons. When you pop three balloons of blue or pink you’ll find out what gender the child is!

(11) Pop the Belly Game: How amusing can this balloon pop setup through Smudge? The balloons are filled with paint in white and blue or pink. Keep it tidy by throwing darts at it, or make it messy and use a pin to make the balloons pop!

gender reveal with confetti

Nothing can say “party” or “celebration” like Confetti! Confetti is an enjoyable and simple way to add fun to your event and certainly, a fun method to incorporate into the gender display.

Confetti Cannon Roulette: It’s an enjoyable way to increase the excitement of the big announcement. Take the Confetti Cannon Roulette Set with six cannons. Five of them are white with Confetti, and one of them is blue or pink. 

It would help if you rolled the dice and then shot the cannon using the appropriate number. In the end, you’ll shoot the surprise cannon as mommy fits with Heels.

(2) Butterfly Confetti:  When you use confetti poppers to create your party, create a unique experience by using confetti in the form of butterflies. It makes for an even more spectacular experience when you see tiny butterflies dancing through the air!

(3) Confetti, Streamers, and Powder: These ultimate poppers mix confetti and streams as well as a powder to create a show that is not to be missed!

(4) Rent a Confetti Machine: If you’re seeking a massive quantity of confetti to cover an area or give a bolder appearance in your photos and photos, then renting a confetti maker will provide the desired effect. See the quantity of confetti in an incredible photo by the account @jessi1012.

(5) Confetti Inside Eggs: The concept is unique! They’re called Cascarones which contain eggs filled with Confetti. They are made from real eggs, which are empty and dyed, after which they are filled with confetti, and then covered with paper. 

The eggs are then cracked open and placed on each other’s heads to reveal the eggs. The guests can also enjoy the fun and see how Vintage Modern Wife utilized this concept.

Gender reveal with food

It’s impossible to have the perfect Gender Reveal party without feeding your guests, So why not turn your food into the center of the occasion? Choose a classic cake or donuts, cookies, or perhaps even an apple pie for the face!

Classic Cake Reveal: There is no way to be wrong with the most popular celebration dessert…cake! 

If you’ve got one made by a baker or rely on a family friend or a member of the family to bake it for you, cutting a cake that reveals the color blue or pink on the inside is a great way to find out the latest information and also creates a tasty memory for everyone.

(1) Learn how to make layer cakes with ombre patterns with blue and pink and receive beautiful cakes such as this taken from Style Me Pretty.

(2) Pipe ” It’s a …” over the cake and then fill it with blue or pink frosting, which will show the gender. (via Two Twenty-One)

Layer the top layer of blue or pink whipping cream with white regular and then with a splat! The color of the cream will be visible for everyone to observe. (via Remodelaholic)

Have a Blindfolded Taste Test! We are in love with this idea of serving some kind of blue or pink-themed food or snack made in either strawberry (for girls)) or blueberry (for the boy) flavors. 

Take a bite with a blindfold to let the taste reveal the gender of your baby! We love how @magicballoonspty came up with this idea.

Gender Reveal with paint

These ideas for gender reveal that are creative that use paint could be messy, however, the impact of the reveal and the gorgeous photos afterward are well worth the cleanup.

Shoot your friends to reveal the surprise, as this family did at the beach (photography by Katie Weber), or give the guns to guests and let them shoot instead! (via Courtney Macon Photography).

(7) Paint Fight:  Alternatively, put a squeeze bottle full of paint and have a fun paint battle! Find some ideas here by reading The Crafted Passion. Crafted Passion.

Simply attach a balloon with blue or pink paint on a piece of paper before you distance yourself from the board and shoot toward your goal. When you pop it, the color of the paint will be exposed!

(9) Painted Hand Prints: Keep it simple and simple by using blue or pink handprints printed on white shirts. Design the shirt in advance when you know the gender. Then, show it off to your guests on a momentous occasion. 

Have your friend (or your older child) wear the prints at the time of the reveal (they may even be blindfolded so that you and your partner can find out simultaneously! ).
