Making a pregnancy announcement is one thing. But announcing the gender of the baby you are having simply adds up to the excitement. Here are our top picks on how few couples revealed the gender of the baby:
1. Blow Balloons
Post a hoard of photos showing you and your spouse holding up two balloons, each of blue and pink colours. Blow up the balloon that is indicative of the gender – pink for girl, blue for boy, of course. Perhaps you could even write the letter B or G on the balloons to help people figure it out better.
2. Blow Bubble Gums
Make a series of pictures where you and your partner chew, blow and pop bubble gums. You will need to have pink and blue bubble gum each. Take images as you both blow. In the final image, pop the gum colour that you are not having.
3. Pull Out The Letters
Take the wrapper of Hershey’s chocolate bar. Make a cut out of He and She from the letters. Stick it on a bunch of crafts. Make handcrafted chocolate boxes or any other craft you can think of and stick the words on two different wrappers.
4. Make A Gender Reveal Cake
Throw a gender reveal party and make a cake that can hide the news inside. Make pink and blue batter and frost it to hide the evidence with a great message on the top. Or use the multiple layers of a rainbow cake to do the job for you. Or hide the message in cupcakes.
5. Get Gender Reveal Scratch Off Cards
This could work out great if you want to keep the guess works limited. And it works great if you want to it mailed unlike mailing old-fashioned letters to break the news.
6. Surprise With Confetti
How about gender reveal confetti push pops? It could be perfect for a party if you wanted to shower blue and pink confetti on your guests. Just ask them to gather at your place and allow them to fly it all over. More on this link
7. Easter Eggs
Paint Easter eggs. Make sure you have pink and blue Easter eggs hidden among them. Ask you guests to shuffle out the pink or the blue egg (you know which one) and once they are done, break open the news. Perhaps they already had the clue as you set them to work.
8. Cascarones or Confetti Eggs
The confetti-filled eggs, also known as Cascarones, is a traditional way to break the news in few cultures. All you will need to do is colour the eggs, break them on the top, fill them with pink or blue confetti and cover the cracked space with a tissue paper top. Ask your guests to tear out the tissues to see what’s inside.
9. Get A Gender Volcano
If you want to adopt something more innovative, then you might want to try this: a gender reveal volcano!
10. The Clue From Your Doc
The next time you go in for an ultrasound, you could ask your doc to write the gender of the baby on a piece of paper and seal it in an envelope. And simply ask your Gues of Honor to reveal the gender.
11. Balloon Release Surprise
Have a gender reveal party. Take a carton filled with helium balloons – pink for girl blue for boy. As the guests keep guessing, open the carton and release the balloon. (Don’t keep the carton plain. “Boy or Girl” on a colorful wrap-up will complete the look.)
Revealing your baby’s gender can be much fun, given that you have already got over the anxieties of revealing that you are pregnant. Simply look for the excitement that your guest will have. It will be something to cherish for a lifetime.
