For most people, finding out they are having a baby is an exciting moment. The next thing they want to find out is the gender of the baby. It becomes more fun when the parents have a gender reveal party. These parties have become more popular with time, and people are always coming up with new and creative ways of revealing the gender of their baby to their family and friends. 

If you are planning to have a gender reveal party, there is a good chance wondering what types of activities include. The good thing is there is a wide range of options to choose from because of the popularity of gender reveal parties. There are a lot of ideas and fun activities whether you decide to craft the activities on your own or purchase from a supplier, we are Premier Glow and we have some great props for gender reveal parties.



Tallying Up the Votes
You can get started with picking a side; the guests have to pick a side: team boy or team girl. There are different ways of doing this. You can have fake mustaches and craft bows so that the guests can pin on. This is going to be cute to look at while making your guests feel like they are part of the festivities. If you are looking for something a little more visual e.g. numbers, then consider getting a chalkboard where you are going to tally the girl or boy side.

Gender Reveal Ideas
The purpose of a gender reveal party is to reveal the actual gender of the baby. Some choose to do in a simple way, a cake with a color frosting inside. Some choose to go the extra mile by getting blue and pink smoke bombs then setting it off outdoors. 

If you like sparkles, then glitter is going to be the right option for you. You need to pop them outside your home because they can leave a lot of mess and force you to clean up after. When popping the balloons make sure you do it in front instead of over you or your guests.

Another good option is a confetti cannon gender reveal. This is going to be a fun way of revealing the gender of your newest member. You will have the chance of including the guests. You can decide to just let the new parents have blue and pink confetti each. It is going to be much more fun when the guests are involved in the gender reveal. Countdown to the reveal by the guests is also a good idea.

Confetti Cannons
You should give a cannon a try if you like the blue or pink smoke bombs but want it to be a little more creative. It is easy to use because there is a tab to pull when you want to shoot the smoke. If you are a sports fan and looking to incorporate your favorite sport into the gender reveal, then consider getting a softer version of a hockey puck, baseball, or football that is filled with powder, glitter, or confetti.

You can add more fun to the gender reveal party by having a piñata. The parents and guests can each take a swing. Ask the party store to pre-fill it with blue or pink candy depending on the gender, then sealing it. 

Games
Games make the party fun. While you don’t have to come up with games the same way you would during a baby shower, it is still a good idea to get guests involved. You can have a good game by creating some baby being cards, and the guests playing will need to find stuff on the board then get Bingo!

Another good game for a gender reveal party is the “don’t say baby”. Guests are going to wear bracelets or pins. The goal of the game is avoiding the word baby, and if someone says the word, you can snatch their bracelet or pin so you can add it to your collection. The person with the most at the end of the party is going to be declared the winner. You can have a gift for the winner.

You can make a guessing name by filling a bottle with blue and pink M&Ms. The person who is going to be close to the actual number of candies in the bottle wins them. Try having goody bags for the different games so that the winner will have something they can take home. The items can be candy, candles, or cookies. Don’t break the bank when it comes to gift, simple gifts are enough.

Crafting Activities
There is an inner artist in everyone, even those who are not good at painting or drawing. It can be fun to have a bib or bodysuit decorating contest where the guests all take part. At the end of the party, you can have a vote on whose decoration is the best. The items will bring a lot of memories, especially when the baby starts to wear them.

Always remember that you are celebrating this time with your loved ones, no matter the ideas or activities you decide to incorporate. As long as there is entertainment and food, what you do is not going to be a big deal. Your guests are going to be celebrating with you as you get to know the gender of your baby.
