Neutral Colors for the Reveal
Keep your decor neutral (white, gold, greenery, or a pink-and-blue mix) until the moment of truth, so the reveal color is the true surprise. Add ‘he or she?’ signs and question-mark accents to build the suspense.
Safe Gender Reveal Tips
Whatever theme you choose, keep the reveal safe: use confetti, balloons, colored powder or cake instead of fireworks, smoke devices or anything involving fire. Do outdoor reveals in an open space. New to the idea? Here is a quick background on gender reveal parties.
