Have a photographer or set up some cameras to catch the exciting moment.
5. Sports, BBQ & Babies
One of the best party ideas for the entire family is making sure EVERYONE is excited to get involved which means sports and good BBQ. If you are throwing your gender reveal party in the summer or during your family’s favorite sports season, revolve your theme around something everyone in your inner circles loves.
You can hit a baseball that reveals the gender, kick a football, or even shoot a basketball. What goes good with sports, barbecue. Everyone loves good barbecue. Make it fun and casual and something that encourages everyone in the family to get involved.
Make it even easier on yourself and ask everyone to bring in their favorite dishes. This reveal theme is all about getting the family together and bringing. back that traditional big gathering with tons of food experience.
6. Music Gender Reveal Party
Looking for a theme that is really unique? Try doing a music themed gender reveal party. Have your guests over and when the timing is right play your gender reveal song. That song will be themed about either “boys” or “girls”.
If you are really looking to mix it up sneakily only play music at your reveal party that is themed about a certain gender. Wait to see if anyone picks up on it because trust me someone will.
