A gender reveal party is a celebration where expectant parents reveal the gender of their baby to friends and family, often in a creative and entertaining way. The celebration typically includes games, activities, and, of course, delicious food! These parties can vary in style and scale, ranging from a simple gathering to an elaborate affair, depending on what fits your family’s personality.

Gender reveal party FAQs

Can you send gender reveal invitations online?

Yes, absolutely! In today’s digital age, sending gender reveal invitations online is not only convenient but also eco-friendly. You can find several services and websites that allow you to create customised invitations - most of them are free. You can select fun themes that reflect your gender reveal idea, whether it’s a traditional pink or blue theme or something more modern and unique. Just make sure you include all the details, such as time, location, and any specific instructions for your guests.

What week should you do a gender reveal?

This is totally up to you, but the ideal timing for a gender reveal party typically falls between 20-30 weeks into pregnancy. Around the 20-week mark, most parents find out the gender during their scan, making it the perfect time to celebrate. However, feel free to plan your reveal party to suit your schedule and personal preferences.

What type of powder do you use for gender reveals?

For a visually stunning and exciting reveal, many people opt to use colored powder to signify the gender of their baby. The powder is usually made from cornstarch or flour, and you can find it in colours like pink or blue.

Who should host your gender reveal party?

Choosing who will host your gender reveal party can be a fun decision. Traditionally, the expectant parents or their close friends and family take on this role. If you’re looking for a unique twist, consider allowing a group of your closest friends to co-host the party. This gives everyone an opportunity to share in the excitement and split the planning responsibilities. If you (the parents) don't know the gender yet, you can let a trusted family member or friend handle the reveal so you'll be surprised, too! How exciting is that?

What's a virtual gender reveal party?

In light of recent years, many have opted for virtual gender reveals. These can be a great way to include friends and family who may not be able to attend in person. You can still host a beautiful setup with a cake cutting or balloon popping and share these moments live over video call. Or, if your guests live locally in London, you could arrange for a Brigit's Bakery Afternoon Tea to be delivered to their homes in time for the gender reveal! That way, anyone can still celebrate with our cakes and treats from the comfort of their own homes.

Should I have gender reveal balloons?

Gender reveal balloons are another popular option to let everyone know whether you're having a boy or a girl. You could have a large balloon filled with pink or blue confetti and tie this into a fun reveal game by having guests guess the gender before the big moment. The excitement builds as everyone gathers around to see what spills out of the balloon!

What are some gender reveal game ideas?

Games like “Guess the Gender” encourage attendees to make predictions, leading up to the big reveal, while “Pin the Bowtie on the Baby” can also add a playful touch. These games can be simple yet effective ways to engage everyone and build excitement as you approach the final moment of the reveal.

Another fun idea is a “Scratch-Off Gender Reveal” game, where guests scratch off their cards to reveal either a blue or pink surprise, adding another layer of suspense to the event. These games not only keep the mood light-hearted but also make the big reveal even more dynamic and enjoyable for all attendees.

Celebrate the newest addition to the Peppa Pig family

If your children are about to become big brothers or sisters, then why not tap into the joy surrounding the recent announcement from the Peppa Pig family and do your gender reveal with a themed Peppa Pig afternoon tea? Available as a sightseeing tour, private hire, or at Brigit's Bakery, the Peppa Pig afternoon tea menu allows you to celebrate your fantastic news by incorporating some Peppa Pig magic into your party.

Whether you're planning a simple gathering or a grand celebration, Brigit’s Bakery is here to help with unique gender reveal ideas and services tailored to your needs. From scrumptious afternoon tea to our private hire options, we provide everything you need to ensure your gender reveal party is an unforgettable experience.
