How can I make gender reveal more fun? ›

Write something generic

“What happy news and whether your child is a boy or a girl, I know your baby will be beautiful.” “Whether boy or girl, they will be as cute as a button and I am thrilled for you both.” “We were both so happy to hear your news and wish you well on your gender reveal day.”

Gender reveal using silly string

Few things will bring on the LOLs like the parents-to-be covered in Silly String. This fun gender reveal idea calls for wrapping cans of Silly String with decorative paper so no one knows what color they have. Hand the cans out at your gender reveal party and let the stringing begin!

Start by brainstorming creative gender reveal ideas, such as popping a balloon filled with pink or blue confetti, swinging at a gender reveal piñata, or cutting into a gender reveal cake with either pink or blue filling.

Some people don't enjoy party games, but if you do, opt for games that will get everyone even more excited about finding out if you're expecting a boy or girl. For example, hold a guess-the-gender raffle or have everyone guess your favorite boy and girl names from a list.

Three lines.

Rather than the dome sign, seeing what looks like three light, layered lines (also called the “hamburger sign”) in the genital area indicates a girl.

Write that their new baby will be perfect and loved, whether boy or girl. “Your beautiful baby is on the way, and whether pink or blue, all your dreams will come true.” “We are full of joy for you, and whether it's ballet shoes or hockey skates, you can be sure your little star will be wrapped in love.”

Many couples choose to make this one a more intimate affair, with only close friends and family on the guest list. A virtual gender reveal party is also a great idea since you can reach a wider audience without having to plan an in-person event.

Many expectant parents find that the most appropriate time to do a gender reveal is between 18 and 20 weeks. However, when we really want to have our celebration depends on our own tastes and the schedules of those we intend to invite.

How far along do you have to be to reveal the gender? ›

Most doctors schedule an ultrasound at around 18 to 21 weeks, but the sex may be determined by ultrasound as early as 14 weeks . It's not always 100 percent accurate, though. Your baby might be in an awkward position, which makes it difficult to clearly see the genitals.

Most parents find out the sex of their baby through ultrasound between 18-21 weeks, although those who choose to do genetic testing may find out sooner. The beginning of the second trimester is a good time to plan your gender reveal, as it allows enough time to ensure there are no apparent risks to the pregnancy.

Is 10, 12, or 13 weeks too early for a gender reveal? Using an ultrasound, 10 or 12 weeks may be too early. By 13 weeks, some advanced ultrasounds can hint, but it's less certain than waiting until the 20th week.

A gender reveal party will usually include food, drinks, games and of course the reveal itself! Some ideas include opening a box to reveal pink or blue helium-filled balloons or biting into cupcakes filled with pink or blue icing.

If you're trying to keep baby's a gender secret, even to yourself, request that your ultrasound technician write down the gender of your baby rather than tell you.

Bringing a gift for a gender reveal is not a requirement, but it is a wonderful gesture to celebrate the soon-to-be new addition to the family. It's like the pre-party to the main event, where you get to shower the expecting parents with all the love, and maybe a little something special to welcome baby with open arms.
