GENDER REVEAL WITH BALLOONS
If you’re in a room full of guests, or just keeping it simple with your family at home, revealing your baby’s gender is fun and easy with balloons! Incorporate them into a game, or pair them with confetti for a “pop” of fun – the ideas are limitless.
(1) Balloon Pop Reveal: You can’t go wrong with a simple balloon full of confetti to pop! A large balloon is best for this idea, and they’re readily available to purchase online. Check out the one used in this revel from Shining on Design – simply pop with a pin to revel pink or blue! If you have older kids, consider letting them in on the fun and having them pop the balloon like @annelinsta.
(2) Older Child Surprises with Balloon Bundle: Another great way to get your older child(ren) involved with the big reveal is to have them surprise you with a blue or pink bundle of balloons. You can have a trusted adult pick up the balloons and them hand them off to your kids for the big reveal. @sazan has an adorable example of this idea where their child hid in another room and then surprised the parents with the balloons.
(3) DIY Colored Powder in Balloon: It’s actually pretty simple to make your own colored powder in blue or pink – check out the recipe from Ali-ish.com. Then go ahead and fill into a balloon, ready to pop!
(4, 5) Balloon Box Reveal: Instead of popping a balloon, you can have a box full of them! Simply grab a large box to decorate with “Girl or Boy?” (via Snickerplum), or question marks “He or She?” (via Sugar Spice and Sparkle), and then have a trusted person who knows the gender pick up pink or blue balloons to fill the box. When it’s surprise time, simply open the box to let the balloons loose!
(6) Balloon Letter Box: Adding in some giant letter balloons to spell out the gender like The Cake By Hannah, will make the surprise even more fun.
(7) Custom Balloon Box: Don’t feel like making your own box? It’s easy to order a custom one, complete with your last name.
(8) Gift Bag Balloon Reveal: Swap out the big box for gift bags, and give one to each of your children (or nieces, nephews, grandparents, etc). Place a balloon inside and tie it closed with a simple ribbon. Then have them open in unison. (via Mumstastic.com)
(9) Balloon Dart Throw: A super fun way to incorporate balloons into your gender reveal is to turn it into a game of darts. Create a plywood board with dozens of pinned balloons where only one of them is full of pink or blue confetti. Guests can take turns throwing a dart until the confetti-filled balloon is popped to reveal the gender! You can check out @sarahs_day for inspiration.
(10) He or She Pop To See: This kit includes all you need to make an exciting gender reveal game. Simply assemble and throw darts to pop the balloons. Once you pop 3 pink or 3 blue balloons, you will find out the gender of the baby!
(11) Pop the Belly Game: How fun is this balloon pop set-up via Smudge? Fill the balloons with white paint, and one with pink or blue. Keep it clean by throwing darts, or get messy and use a pin to pop!
