Ultimate gender reveal ideas, delivering a fun way to learn the sex of your baby.  You may be wondering what a gender reveal is. 

A gender reveal party is one of those types of parties that come out of nowhere and just become an instant trend. We see why. They are a smashing hit and a ton of fun!

What is a Gender Reveal Party?

If it’s your first time hearing about one of these parties, it can be confusing. A gender reveal is the unveiling of the sex of the baby. Usually to the expecting mom and dad, as well as other friends and family.

It’s like Christmas morning, with the present being a baby boy or baby girl. A party allows for the anticipation and surprise, however, a shower and nursery can still be planned without remaining gender neutral. 

Having a Gender Reveal Party

You may be wondering, “How do you have a Gender Reveal Party?” There are a few tricks to the trade.

First off, make sure you follow all your OBGYNs guidelines (i.e. drinking water if you need to, etc.) before the ultra sound to find out the sex. This is so the ultra sound tech can do her job and baby hopefully participates.

Second, it’s important to let your OBGYN and Ultra Sound Tech know you want to keep the sex of the baby a surprise. At the day of your appointment let your ultra sound tech know you would not like to know the sex of the baby.

 Instead, ask your ultra sound tech to place the sex of the baby in a sealed envelope.

A gender reveal party is pretty popular, so there is a good likelihood that the technician has done this many times before!

The Hard Part…

Now the hard part… NO PEEKING. If you know you can’t handle the temptation, have a friend or family member pick up the envelope from you at the Doctors office, or soon after.

Make sure the person you select is good at keeping a secret and can help with the surprise. The person you choose will coordinate the ordering and putting together the big reveal.

Now for the  fun part– the reveal! There are lots of ways of creative ways to do this, check out some of our favorites.
