Gender Reveal Party Decorations
Here are some gender reveal party decoration ideas to help you create a memorable and exciting gender reveal party! Remember to consider the parents’ preferences and the overall theme of the party when choosing decorations.
- Backdrop: Set up a backdrop with a “He or She?” sign or a “Boy or Girl?” sign as a focal point for photos. You can make one using a large poster or a fabric backdrop with pink and blue colors, ribbons, or other gender-neutral decorations.
- Table Decorations: Decorate the food and gift tables with pink and blue tablecloths, table runners, or centerpieces. You can also use themed table decorations, such as baby bottles, pacifiers, or baby blocks, to add an extra touch of cuteness.
- Gender Prediction Board: Set up a fun interactive activity where guests can cast their votes on a gender prediction board. Provide pink and blue stickers or markers for guests to place on the board to guess the baby’s gender.
- Photo Booth: Create a gender reveal-themed photo booth with props such as mustaches, bows, and “Team Boy” or “Team Girl” signs. Provide a backdrop with a gender reveal-themed design or use pink and blue balloons as a backdrop for fun photo opportunities.
- Balloon Bouquets: Create balloon bouquets using pink and blue balloons, or balloons filled with pink or blue confetti. You can use them as centerpieces, tie them to chairs, or scatter them around the party area.
- Colorful Streamers: Use pink and blue streamers to create a festive backdrop for the party. Hang them from the walls or ceiling, or create a fun archway for guests to walk through.
- Gender Reveal Banner: Hang a banner that says “It’s a Boy!” or “It’s a Girl!” to add excitement to the party atmosphere. You can make your own using colored paper, or purchase pre-made banners from a party supply store.
- Streamers and Bunting: Use pink and blue streamers or bunting to decorate the walls, doorways, or ceilings of the party area. You can twist them together or hang them in a crisscross pattern to add a festive touch.
- Outdoor Decorations: If you’re hosting the party outdoors, you can decorate the space with pink and blue balloons, banners, or even a gender reveal-themed banner or flag. You can also use outdoor lights, lanterns, or fairy lights to create a magical ambiance.
Gender Reveal with Sibling
One cute idea is for a couple who already has a child to ask the child to change their shirt midway through the shower. The new shirt says “I am going to have a baby (either brother or sister depending on the gender of the baby)” then the child can just walk around the room quietly waiting for everyone to notice. For couples who are having their first child but do have a dog they can do something similar.
Gender Reveal Cake
The centerpiece of a gender reveal party is often the cake or cupcakes. You can have a cake or cupcakes with a plain white or neutral-colored exterior, which when cut into it to reveal either pink or blue filling, frosting, or a hidden gender reveal topper. On top of the cake, you can write “He?” in blue “She?” in pink and “open to see!” It’s a fun way to reveal the gender of the baby!
When the cake is cut the cake itself is either blue or pink revealing the gender to everyone at one go. If you leave it out of the table through the whole shower it can really build up the anticipation. Everyone will spend the whole day wondering and it builds up to a big reveal.
You can also fill the middle of the cake with candy like M&Ms in either all blue or all pink. You can use the same idea if you are going with cupcakes instead of one big cake. In this case, you won’t need to hide the beautiful cake. You can make a cake like that with a similar concept when making a polka dots cake.

Gender Reveal Favors
You could also go with party favors that are “it’s a Girl” or “It’s a Boy” themed like chocolate cigars, waffles, or lollipops. Anything that says the gender on them will work perfectly. If you are making cookies as favors, then have pink or blue chocolate M&Ms on them. Placed nicely in a cellophane bag with a cute ribbon in blue or pink with a personalized message to say it’s a boy or a girl.
Gender Reveal Games
You can find gender reveal scratch games if you prefer to reveal during game time. Just like the lottery tickets, you scratch the silver away to reveal the gender of the baby. You can hand one to everybody at any point during the shower. It’s easy and fun, not to mention something that no one will be expecting. They can even be your party favors.
You can paint your belly with either “I’m a Girl” in pink or “I’m a Boy” in blue and whenever you want to, whichever moment feels right, you can stand up and lift your shirt to real the baby’s gender to everyone all at once.
If you want to be surprised with everyone else this next idea is perfect. Have the doctor write down the gender on a piece of paper then put it in an envelope and seal it. Go to a party store and tell the clerk that you want to be surprised about your baby’s gender. Explain that the gender of the baby is in the envelope and to read it and fill a big box with helium balloons in either pink for a girl or blue for a boy. Have him close the box with a lid and write on it “what will it be? Open and see.” And then when you open the box all the balloons will fly out and everyone will find out together.
