Batter Up! Your Gender Reveal Baseball Questions, Answered
Each gender reveal baseball is a hollow, handcrafted ball packed full of pink or blue powder. When the bat connects (or the ball is smashed against a hard surface), the shell breaks open and releases a big burst of color. Pitch it soft, swing hard and the color does the talking.
- Pitch underhand from 6–10 feet away so the ball arrives slow and easy to hit.
- Use a standard bat: wood or aluminum both work.
- Swing level and follow through: a square hit gives the biggest cloud.
- Missed? No problem. Pick it up and pitch again, or grab a spare from the 2 or 4 Pack.
Most families choose the 2 Pack so there is a spare for a practice swing or a second camera angle. The 4 Pack is our best value: perfect for nervous batters, a fake-out swing with a pink & blue mix, or letting both parents take a turn.
The mix gives you one pink and one blue ball per pair. Families use it for a fake-out reveal (swing the wrong color first for laughs), for a guessing game where guests pick a team, or for twin and second-baby celebrations.
Our powder is non-toxic, cornstarch-based and biodegradable. It brushes off and washes out of most clothing with a regular wash and rinses off grass and patios with a hose. As with any color powder, avoid white silk or delicate fabrics and keep it away from eyes.
Absolutely. Big brothers, grandparents and best friends love being the batter. The person who knows the secret should handle the order and the pitch so the parents-to-be stay surprised until the hit.
Yes. Every ball is handcrafted and carefully packaged to arrive ready to swing. Store them at room temperature and avoid dropping them before the big day. If anything ever arrives damaged, our support team will make it right.
Film in slow motion from the side, about 10–15 feet from the batter, with the sun behind the camera. Shoot during golden hour for glowing color, and add our smoke bombs or confetti cannons so the whole crowd erupts in the same color.

Baseballs or Bows? One Swing Tells All
Step up to the plate, take the swing of your life and watch the ball burst into a cloud of pink or blue powder the second the bat connects.
The bat says it first
One swing and the ball explodes pink or blue. The crowd screams: the moment you'll replay forever.
Miss-proof: grab the 4 Pack
Nerves are real. Extra balls mean a practice swing, a backup for a whiff and a second take for the camera.
