🌸 Step 1: Pick a Theme (or Keep It Simple)

Choosing a theme or color palette helps pull your party together and makes decorating a breeze. You don’t need to overcomplicate it — just pick a vibe that feels right for you.

Here are a few popular gender reveal themes:

✨ Pink & Blue Pastels – Classic, timeless, and easy to style.

🐝 What Will Baby Bee? – Yellow & black with cute bee accents.

🎀 Bows or Bowties? – Playful and perfect for a dressy-casual event.

🎯 Team Pink vs Team Blue – Encourage guests to “pick a side” with buttons or stickers.

🌿 Modern Neutrals – Creams, greenery, and subtle pops of blush or powder blue.

Or skip the theme entirely and just use pretty tableware, balloons, and flowers in a few coordinated colors.

🎈 Step 2: Plan the Reveal Moment

The big reveal is the heart of your party — so plan a moment that works for you and your guests.

Some creative ways to announce the news:

🎈 Pop a giant balloon filled with colored confetti.

🍰 Cut into a cake or cupcakes with pink or blue filling.

🎉 Hand out confetti poppers to guests and count down to a collective surprise.

💨 Use smoke cannons or streamers for a dramatic photo op.

🪅 Break open a piñata with colored candy or paper.

✅ Pro Tips:

• Have a trusted friend or bakery keep the secret so you can be surprised too.

• Test your chosen method beforehand to make sure it works.

• Plan the reveal after everyone’s had time to arrive, mingle, and grab a drink.

Pretty bites and colorful sips keep guests happy and the party vibe flowing.

🥂 Step 3: Food & Drinks Guests Will Love

You don’t need a full meal to keep guests happy — simple bites and pretty drinks go a long way.

Here are some crowd-pleasers:

🥪 Mini sandwiches, fruit skewers, veggie platters.

🍰 A dessert bar with cupcakes, cookies, and candies in pink, blue, or both.

🍹 A DIY cocktail & mocktail station (bonus: check out our DIY drink station guide for ideas!).

Small details make it feel extra special:

• Color-coded straws or napkins.

• A signature pink drink and a signature blue drink for “team” fun.

• Cute favor bags with candies or candles guests can take home.

Guests can show their guess with playful Team Pink or Team Blue stickers — a fun way to get everyone involved!

🎯 Step 4: Make It Fun & Interactive

Keep guests engaged with games and activities while they wait for the big reveal:

• A predictions board — boy or girl?

• Team stickers or buttons for guests to wear.

• A station where guests can write notes or wishes for baby.

• A few rounds of baby-themed trivia or bingo.

It’s a great way to break the ice and add laughter to the party!

📸 Step 5: Capture the Moment

Don’t forget to document the big day!

• Hire a photographer or ask a friend with a good camera to help.

• Set up a photo booth corner with props and a cute backdrop.

• Create a hashtag for guests to tag their posts so you can see all the memories later.

• If using confetti or smoke, have a broom or cleanup plan ready so you can keep the party going.

🎉 Celebrate Your Way

At the end of the day, a gender reveal party is all about you, your growing family, and the people you love.

There’s no need to stress over perfection — just focus on creating a warm, welcoming space where you can share this special moment together. With a little planning and some thoughtful details, your gender reveal can be every bit as stylish and memorable as you imagine.

Cheers to baby! 🍼✨
