- Coloured Cakes

Make sure you ice the cake completely so that no colour peeks through and spoils the surprise. - Gender Reveal Balloons In A Box

Most pinatas can be purchased empty from Spotlight or party supply stores, just pack yours with pink or blue confetti, lollies, glitter or whatever takes your fancy then have your guests take turns trying to crack it open. - Pop goes the News!
Buy a balloon for every person at the gender reveal. Before you blow them up, put some pink or blue confetti inside each balloon. Hand everybody a balloon and a pin. Count to three and have everyone pop their balloon. The confetti will scatter and everyone will know if it’s a boy or a girl. - Siblings say it best
A no-fuss, no mess way of doing your gender reveal that can involve your other child(ren). This reveal involves having an older child wearing a cute tee like the one above. They can get changed right before announcement time or you could sneak the tee on at a random time, then let the child roam around until someone notices!
- Fur Baby announcement
For all the pet lovers out there! Would you like to get your pet involved in the act? If you have a cat or dog for example, you can organise for them to come out to the guests at announcement time – wearing something around their neck to announce the gender. It might be a pink or blue ribbon or bow, a dummy tied to a ribbon or anything else you can think of. - Silly String reveal
There are a couple of ways you can do this, either way you’ll need to cover up the outside of the cans, so no-one picks the colour of the spray. To announce the gender, you can: a) At the announcement time, mum and dad-to-be count to three and spray each other with silly spray in pink or blue; or b) Have a countdown, after which all the guests spray each other with pink or blue silly spray. - Team Pink or Team Blue?
This can be a fun game or the main event for the party. Pop a bunch of Team Pink and Team Blue badges in a bowl and the guests get to place their bet by wearing one or the other. After the reveal the winning Team the losing team has to clean up! Only kidding.
Gender reveal parties are a fun way to include family and friends in the joy and excitement that comes with a new baby. Feel free to share your own gender reveal party ideas below or your pics on our Facebook page.
