The gender reveal trend isn’t new, so it can be tough to come up with unique ways of finding out whether you’re having a boy or a girl. Many couples have done the tried-and-true confetti balloon, pink or blue iced cake, or blue or pink smoke bombs to reveal the gender of their baby, much to the delight of friends and family.
If you’re looking for some different ways of finding out the gender of your baby, we’ve rounded up some of the more unique reveals you can use to announce whether you’re having a boy or a girl.
7 Unique Gender Reveal Ideas
Piñatas
Pinatas are already in the “win” category since they can be packed with candy (we recommend filling it with all of your crave-worthy sweets), but they’re also a fun way to do a gender reveal. You can choose one that’s filled with either pink or blue confetti from sites like Etsy.
Scratch-Off Cards
Announcing whether you’re having a boy or a girl using a scratch-off card is an especially good gender reveal if you live far from friends and family. You can choose from lots of different styles that allow you to make the announcement in a personalized way even if you’re not able to be together for the official reveal.
Donut You Love This Idea?
You’ve seen gender reveal cupcakes and cakes, but donuts are the new trend for revealing your baby’s gender. You can get a box of donuts decorated with pink and blue with the cream in the center revealing whether you’re having a boy or girl.
Batter Up
Baseball fan? A perfectly-timed pitch is a great way to reveal whether you’re having a boy or a girl. You can get a pink or blue-filled baseball and knock it out of the park to reveal your baby’s gender.
You Can’t Make This Up
