Dreaming of a Grand Gender Reveal Party to Announce the Baby's Gender!

Gender Reveal Party ♡

In Western countries where parties are lively, there is a grand event called "gender reveal party" to announce the baby's gender ♡

The term "reveal" means to "disclose" or "make public." *

Recently, in Japan, it has become trendy to prepare a cake for a gender announcement surprise for the husband once the baby's gender is determined, but overseas gender reveal parties are unexpectedly luxurious.

It seems that people hire event planners or party planners to decorate their home with balloons like a wedding and hold a party ♡

Pregnant women also find out the gender on the spot!

<Moreover!>

The shocking difference from Japan is that pregnant women sometimes learn the baby's gender for the first time during this party!

When they go for a check-up at the hospital and the doctor says, "We found out the gender!" they can inform the doctor that they plan to have a gender reveal party, and the doctor will give them a slip of paper with the gender written on it without letting them know.

The pregnant woman and family usually pass that paper to the planner, or show it to someone at a home center or cake shop to prepare for the gender reveal party.

So, even if the preparations for the cake and balloons are managed by themselves, the pregnant woman remains unaware of the baby's gender.

Finally discovering the gender at the party at the same time as the husband makes for a wonderful event ♡

(Of course, there are also styles where the pregnant woman learns the gender from the doctor beforehand and holds a party to report it to her husband, friends, and family)

Here’s how to reveal the gender ♡

In this article, I’ll introduce how foreign gender reveal parties are held ♩

Watching these parties made me want to try one myself! ♡

[1] Balloon Spark

First up, balloon spark ♡

Inside the non-transparent balloon, there’s confetti or small balloons; if it’s pink inside, it’s a girl. If it’s blue, it’s a boy ♡

For second or later babies, the siblings can join in and enjoy popping the balloon together ♡

The reactions of children who don’t yet understand they’re getting a little sister or brother are cute, as are the responses from children who already have the awareness of becoming older siblings; both are amusing and endearing ♡

The daughter pops the balloon held by mom ♡

Both parents pop it together ♡

The contents include both confetti and small balloons.

Invite friends and family to join in ♡

The whole family together ♡

How cute is everyone hopping around after popping the balloon??

[2] Opening a Box

A pattern where balloons are placed inside a box, and when the box is opened, balloons float out like a surprise box.

The effort of an elder sister to untie the ribbons is adorable ♡

Balloons and confetti inside too＊

[3] Smoke

Using colored smoke seems to be a common way to reveal the gender!

(Amazing...!)

The handheld colored smoke seems to be a classic.

This is a ground-based type of colored smoke.

The idea of hiding smoke within a rugby ball is interesting and very foreign.

[4] Cake

An act where the color of the cake inside the box reveals whether it’s a boy or a girl... ♡

The standard idea is to prepare a decoration cake mixed with pink and blue【gender reveal cake】and cut it to determine the gender based on the inside color! ♡

Capture the moment of joy when looking at the color of the cake’s inside, celebrating the addition of a new family member ♡

[5] Others

There are also various unique ideas ♩

When opening the door, a child who will be an elder sister holds either a pink or blue balloon and walks in ♡

What about gender reveal party decorations?

As expected, foreign decorations are undeniably cute and luxurious.

It’s common to mix pink and blue for the decorations ♡

Filling the space with balloons is a classic approach ♡

You can also gather around a table and have a meal together ♩ The styling full of flowers is wonderful ♡

Create a photo booth with a backdrop like a high table, where balloon pops and cake cutting can be done ♩

What about the sweets?

Besides the cake used for the gender reveal, special decorations for snacks served to all the guests are also common ♡

It’s standard to create these snacks in pink and blue colors ♩

For instance, pink and blue cream cupcakes ♡

Waffles topped with pink and blue chocolate ♡

And more ♩

What about outfits?

For a gender reveal party, let’s dress up with costumes that make us the center of attention ♡

Wearing all white like in a pre-wedding shoot is stylish.

Alternatively, wearing clothing that mixes pink and blue is fun and popular ♡

Matching with kids is also a great idea ♡

Look at this dress! It’s a party dress sold for gender reveal parties, with pink and blue divided evenly.

It makes me think that enjoying life and keeping a playful mindset should be like this, even as grown-ups...

Hire a photographer to capture the moment too ♡

Just like weddings, some couples hire photographers to capture the moments of the gender reveal and it seems wonderful.

It’s a photo that conveys the feeling, “We have been looking forward to this together as a family even before you were born” ♡

We want both posed shots and candid snapshots capturing each moment! *

Let’s add these photos to the baby’s album ♩

I’m starting to want to live abroad...

✅ Engagement leads to bridal shower

✅ Bachelorette party the night before the wedding

✅ Wedding ceremony

✅ Gender reveal party when pregnancy reveals the gender

✅ Baby shower before the baby is born

And so on.

The party culture abroad seems really lively and fun ♡

Watching the gender reveal parties, it conveys how friends genuinely celebrate and cherish the birth of a new family member, and it's not just about fun, but also heartwarming.

(I also wish I could have been celebrated like this before I was born... I kind of envy it from a fetal perspective...)
