Creative and fun gender reveal ideas

Before you're ready to pop, let everyone know the gender of your baby with this giant gender reveal balloon. The pack contains 1 balloon, 4 tassels (2 of each blue and pink) and blue and pink confetti to fill the balloon. A soon to be mum said: "“We got as a gift with our baby, and absolutely love it. Lovely to have the continuity of photos and see how big the grow. Does tend to crease a bit, and once moving the sheet tends to move a lot, but isn't that half the fun.” ansd, if you'd like the gender reveal to be a surprise to you and your partner, ask a trusted family member or friend (someone you know won't blab!) to fill the balloon for you. You can ask your sonographer to contact them with the sex of the baby or ask to be given the results in a sealed envelope that you can pass on to them.

"He or She, What Will it Be?" This balloon drop bag kit includes pink and blue balloons, ribbon and bag. Simply blow up your balloons, fill the bag and thread through the ribbon to close. Then you can simply whip the ribbon away! One customer who purchased this for a friend said: "I organised my friends gender reveal party and wanted a balloon drop for them, and the bag itself was fantastic quality and held the balloons really well. It is also a really decent sized bag, and the ribbon fastening was easy to assemble. When it came time for the reveal, it was easy to open too, and as the couple’s young son pulled the ribbon, it worked perfectly.”

For the footie fans, how about a penalty shootout to find out the gender of your baby! This plastic football can be filled with pink or blue powder and will explode when kicked. One couple who purchased this for their gender reveal said: "It was easy to break and the pieces weren’t too small, so was able to clean it up! Best part was it stayed on the shoe we used to keep as a memory! Absolutely amazing!"

How to play this game: Throw darts to pop the balloons. Once you pop 3 pink or 3 blue balloons you will find out the gender of the baby! To make your gender reveal day extra special, all you need to do is cover the squares with 16 black balloons. If you're having a little girl, fill 2 balloons with blue confetti and the rest with pink confetti. Vice versa for a little boy. Then tell your guests to take turns throwing the dart at the balloons. Once 3 Pink or 3 Blue balloons are popped you will know the baby's gender.
