Your Gender Reveal Kit Questions, Answered
Every kit includes 4 color smoke bombs, 4 powder cannons and GIRL and BOY foil balloons. The Half & Half kit has 2 pink and 2 blue of each, so it works even if you don't know the answer yet. The All Pink and All Blue kits have 4 smoke bombs and 4 powder cannons in one color.
Choose the Half & Half kit. Hand it to your keeper of the gender (the one person who knows the answer) and they set aside the right color. Our pink and blue products look the same from the outside, so nothing gets spoiled.
Each product has a small code. Smoke bombs: a code ending in -7 is pink and -2 is blue. Powder cannons: a code with a 1 on the bottom is pink and a 2 is blue. See the Gender Reveal Codes section above for details.
Smoke bombs are lit with a fuse and pour out thick color smoke for 45+ seconds. Set them on a non-flammable surface and step back. They are not meant to be held. Powder cannons need no flame: hold upright, point at the sky, and twist the base to pop a cloud of non-toxic color powder 20+ feet up.
Many families start with the powder cannons for the big countdown moment, then light the smoke bombs for photos while the color lingers. Hang the GIRL and BOY balloons behind you as a backdrop. For more ideas, see our gender reveal planning guide.
Used as directed, yes. Smoke bombs are for outdoor use only, should be set on a non-flammable surface, and should never be used in dry areas or during a burn ban. Powder cannons should always be pointed up and away from people, and the powder can stain light clothing. Adult supervision is required for both.
Use smoke bombs outdoors only. Powder cannons are outdoor only too, since the color powder spreads and can stain. The balloons work anywhere.
The kit is ideal for a backyard party of about 10 to 50 guests. Hand the powder cannons and smoke bombs to the parents and closest family so they can be part of the reveal. For bigger crowds, add extra smoke bombs or powder cannons.
Most orders ship same day. See our shipping policy for delivery estimates to your area.
No. Smoke bombs are novelty smoke devices and powder cannons use compressed air, so neither should go in carry-on or checked luggage. Ship the kit to your party location instead.
