Baby Gender Reveal at a Wedding♡
Introducing an exciting performance that only couples planning a “maternity wedding” can do! ♡
It’s a performance where the “baby’s gender reveal” takes place during the wedding!
In some countries, there are “gender reveal parties” where families, relatives, and friends gather to announce whether it's a boy or a girl♡
Imagine incorporating such a gender reveal party into the wedding...
It seems like it would be a super fun and joy-filled time, don’t you think?
In this article, we will introduce some ideas for baby gender reveal performances that can be done at a wedding! ♡
【By the way】 Who knows the gender?
When having a gender reveal party abroad, there seem to be three patterns:
① The woman goes to the hospital to find out the gender, surprising the husband and guests.
② The couple goes to the hospital to find out the gender, surprising the guests.
③ Only the party planner or friends, who are preparing for the party, know the gender. It’s a surprise for both the couple and the guests.
If both the couple wants to be surprised, they can ask the hospital in advance to “keep the gender a secret from us and write it down on a piece of paper”♡
If the couple also wants to find out the gender as a surprise during the wedding, they should consult with their planner and ask them to prepare a piece of paper with the gender written on it received from the hospital♩
Gender Reveal Performance ① Balloon Pop
You can pop a pitch-black balloon called a “gender reveal balloon.” If blue confetti comes out, it’s a boy; if pink confetti comes out, it’s a girl♡

Have the groom hold the balloon and the bride pop it, to assign roles♡
Here is a gender reveal for twins!
The couple is popping one balloon each♡
Preparing several balloons and having the couple and their parents pop them all at once sounds exciting♡
You can also prepare mini balloons for each guest table and have a representative pop one, making it a guest-participation event♩

In addition to confetti, there was also a performance where a smaller balloon comes out from within the larger balloon♡
Gender Reveal Performance ② Hold the Balloon
An idea for entering the venue again by holding a balloon that reveals the baby's gender♡
Before re-entering, have them announce, “If they re-enter holding a blue balloon, it’s a boy; if they re-enter holding a pink balloon, it’s a girl!” ♩
Gender Reveal Performance ③ Releasing Balloons
I thought a performance where you open a big box and fluffy balloons come out… would be lovely♡
At the time of the balloon release, guests could release pure white balloons, while the couple opens the box to release blue or pink balloons, creating a beautiful and memorable scene♩
Gender Reveal Performance ④ Light Performance
A light performance called “Lumifantasia”♡
Utilizing a performance where liquid poured into a glass lights up, it can glow blue for a boy and pink for a girl*
Light performances are one of the classic wedding performances, so please consult with your planner♩
Gender Reveal Performance ⑤ Confetti
An idea for announcing the gender using push confetti♡
After the ceremony, how about announcing it outside with a big cracker bursting!*
You can do it simultaneously or give guests confetti to participate, creating a memorable moment together♩
Gender Reveal Performance ⑥ Smoke Powder
Using “smoke powder” for gender reveal is also a classic in other countries!
A smoky powder reveal hasn’t been seen much in Japan yet♡
Since it might get messy, be careful when doing this outside*
Baby Gender Reveal at a Wedding♡
We introduced performances for revealing the child’s gender that only couples having a maternity wedding can do*
Will it be a boy or a girl? It’s an exciting and heartwarming performance that makes the anticipation for the baby's birth even more delightful♡
Of course, hosting a separate gender reveal party is also an option, but integrating a gender reveal performance into the wedding can be challenging if the timing isn't right, so I hope brides who can do it will give it a try! ♩
