So, what are gender reveal parties? They’re the hot new trend in the entertaining world. These days, we all love having a reason to celebrate, and there’s nothing more celebratory than discovering the gender of your future child with family and friends in a festive setting. Parents to be: Add this party idea to the “to-do list.”
THEME IDEAS:
Colorful Gender Reveal Party / Pizzazzerie
Le Partie Sugar styled this colorful and trendy gender reveal party with the theme “Handsome Fella or Gorgeous Lil’ Lady.” A gender-neutral color palette of apple green, red and sky blue ensures the secret stays hidden until the very end. Guests can even cast their gender vote (mustache for a boy and lips for a girl) before a blue or pink balloon floats out of a box to the parents’ surprise.

FOOD REVEAL IDEAS:
Gender Reveal Cake / Sweet Kiera
Gender Reveal Cupcakes / cream & flutter
You can discover the gender of your baby in lots of clever ways. One of my favorites is through cakes or cupcakes. Imagine biting into a delicious mystery cupcake only to uncover a creamy blue filling … it’s a boy!

Not up for throwing a party? Here’s a fun way to still capture the emotion and excitement of the big news. In this sweet gender reveal photoshoot, photographer Mallory Buck spoke with the ultrasound tech to hide the appropriately-colored balloons in the box. The gender reveal was captured on camera and is a great way to share the news with friends and family.

Love this new trend.
Cupcake idea is so cute.
We did this in our family and it was so much fun.
I like the one with just photos, if you can't afford to throw a party. Still so much fun I would think, to do it that way too.
wow…..this is the most absurd thing I have ever heard of! Now you have to throw a party to announce the baby's gender!? How selfish.
How is that selfish?!?!?! It's a fun and exciting way to get your friends and family together to celebrate. I'd say it's the opposite of selfish!!!
You are an idiot. You sound jealous. Someone should tell you that putting others down is now the best way to make yourself feel better.

So cute! We revealed our gender by having everyone place "bets" on the baby and then tallied up the points for small prizes. You can get sheets online or just use an online generator (we used http://www.bellybets.com). Got everyone involved

I recently heard about gender reveal parties. How about an It's a Boy/Girl bracelet?

I agree …. Not Selfish BUT FUN. We're having ours in June for the 1st Grandchild. We're not holding this as a gift giving party … that will happen at the shower. However: many still want to celebrate with a gift…so we are recommending if anyone wants to bring a gift…please bring a storybook for the new baby. LUV the idea of bracelet to be given to MOM or GrandMOM … maybe with child head (to be engraved later with Name/BDATE … REMEMBER WHEN has them). My Grandmother had a bracelet with all her gkids (boy/girl heads) & BDATES on the back. When she passed we broke down the bracelet & gave each grandchild their charm.
