Gender Reveal FAQs for Guests
Quick answers to what parents ask us most.
Do you bring a gift to a gender reveal?
It isn't expected the way it is at a baby shower. A small gift or card is always a kind touch, though. If you're unsure, bring something to share, like a dessert or drinks.
What are good gender reveal gift ideas?
Think small and fun: a gender-neutral onesie, a baby book or a pack of diapers. A gift for the parents-to-be lands well too, like an "I Am the Father" shirt or something from our gender reveal shirts.
What should I wear to a gender reveal?
Wear pink or blue to show your guess, unless the hosts ask for something else. For smoke, powder or confetti reveals, pick clothes you don't mind getting a little colorful. Comfortable shoes help for backyard and park parties.
What should the mom-to-be wear?
A white or neutral dress makes pink or blue smoke and confetti pop in photos. Add a mom to be sash for a sweet detail. Pick something comfortable to stand in for photos and the countdown.
What do guests do at a gender reveal?
Guests usually vote boy or girl, play a game or two and then gather for the big moment. Some hosts hand out confetti cannons so everyone pops at once. Bring your phone to film, and cheer loud when the color shows.
Can guests help with the reveal?
Yes, and it makes the moment bigger. Hosts can give each guest a confetti cannon or hand older kids the countdown. Ask the hosts first so the surprise stays on plan.
Can I post the reveal on social media?
Wait until the parents share it first. It's their news to announce, and many want to tell family who couldn't come before it goes online. Once they post, share and tag away.
What are fun ways to guess the baby's gender?
Old wives' tales make a great party game: carrying high or low, sweet or salty cravings and the ring test. They're just for fun and aren't accurate. Have guests vote on Team Boy or Team Girl before the reveal.
