Gender reveals have become increasingly popular among parents-to-be who want to find out the gender of their baby before it is born. So they are throwing gender reveal parties and there are so many unique ways in sharing this magical moment with friends and family.
A gender reveal party is a gathering of loved ones where the parents-to-be reveal the sex of their baby in a creative and imaginative way. Guests attending are not typically expected to bring a gift – it is simply a way for celebrating.
So will it be blue or pink? Here are some popular and creative gender reveal ideas.
Gender Reveal Cake
Now who doesn’t like cake? Not only is it a great way to celebrate but it is also a cost-effective option because it also serves as food for your guests. Why not make it yourself to save money? Just add blue or pink food colouring to cake batter and use a gender neutral colour (like white, yellow or green) for the frosting. All will then be revealed on the first cut of the cake!!

Gender Reveal Box
This is probably one of the most popular gender reveal ideas. Take a very large box and fill it with blue or pink balloons. Gather family and friends around the box, and as it is opened, the balloons will fly out to reveal the gender! Just make sure you have the right colour.

Gender Reveal Pictures
If a party is not what you want or if you want to keep things simple, then how about taking a creative family photo? It’s an easy way to announce the baby’s gender to family and friends because it can be shared via social media, email or in a card.

A few ideas to include are:
· Posing in a blue or pink onesie
· Hold a pair of blue or pink booties
· How about painting baby bump blue or pink
· Throwing pink or blue confetti
· Hold pink or blue balloons
· Hold blue or pink sweets
Gender Reveal Balloon Pop
It is what it says on a the tin! Fill a large balloon with either blue or pink confetti and then pop it! Be prepared for lots of mess though!

Now, whilst a gender reveal party can be fun for a lot of expectant parents, it is not for everyone. If finding out the sex of your baby or the whole idea of a gender reveal party just doesn’t appeal, then there are lots of really fun gender-neutral alternatives you could try.
There are lots of reasons why parents-to-be don’t want a gender reveal party and all are equally valid. But if you don’t want one, then maybe these ideas might be one to consider.
Astrology Party
How about a zodiac sign reveal instead? The options are endless – you can make decorations in your baby’s star sign (or even your own) and why not get your guests to write horoscopes for your baby? These can then be read aloud and saved as a keepsake.
Rainbow Party
Instead of just focussing on pink and blue as per the traditional gender reveal party, why not host a rainbow party where the guests wear all different colours? Add in a rainbow cake and you can have rainbows everywhere!

Pregnancy Reveal
If you have kept your pregnancy secret or you want to let people know as soon as you do, why not have a pregnancy reveal party? Gather all your family and friends together and have fun in telling them your big news. You can still even celebrate with a cake – now who doesn’t think that’s a great idea?

Gender Free Baby Shower
To be fair, you don’t need to focus on the baby’s gender or sex at all – instead, just hold a party celebrating your baby! The theme doesn’t even have to be boy or girl – it can literally be anything else – the world is your oyster!
Ultimately, it is entirely up to you how you want to celebrate welcoming a child into the world. Some parents may decide on a gender reveal party where others may feel that it’s not what they want and choose an alternative. Either way, there are many options and who needs an excuse for a party anyway?
