Gender reveals have become a popular and fun way to share exciting news with family and friends. But if you're someone who loves to keep things lighthearted, why not take the opportunity to inject some humor into your big reveal? Here’s a list of funny and unique gender reveal ideas that will not only surprise your guests but also have them laughing all the way home.
1. Balloon Pop With A Twist
Start with the classic party trick of popping a balloon to reveal colored confetti inside—but add a comedy twist! Stuff a series of balloons with random items (rice, glitter, even cereal!) and save the actual "reveal" balloon for last.
2. Pie In The Face
Who doesn’t love a little slapstick? One parent gets a pie in the face to reveal the gender. Fill a pie with either pink or blue whipped cream, and have your partner take one for the team.
3. The Piñata of Mystery
Fill one piñata with candy and confetti, and the other one with random things like glitter and fruit. The twist? Only one holds the real answer, so guests will have to work at breaking them to find out!
4. Egg Roulette
Prepare a dozen eggs and dye the shells of only one egg pink or blue (the rest remain neutral). One parent or party attendee plays egg roulette by cracking eggs on their heads until the colored one appears. It’s messy, but a fun way to reveal the baby's gender.
5. The “Wrong Cake” Reveal
Have the baker make two cakes⎯one with the right gender color and one with an obviously wrong color like green or purple. First serve the cake with the wrong color and then surprise guests with the other cake to reveal the baby’s gender.
6. Colorful Drinks
Start with a neutral-colored drink, and then have guests add a special powder to reveal the pink or blue.
7. Pizza Delivery Surprise
If possible, order a pizza and have the gender as pink or blue dough. This will be a fun touch to the food you’re serving.
8. Furry Pet Fun
If you have a pup at home, have them fetch a toy from a bag that reveals whether you're having a boy or girl. It will be double the cuteness with your doggy bringing over the pink or blue toy.
9. Pink Or Blue Bubble Gum
A bubblegum gender reveal is a playful and picture-perfect way (literally!) to share your baby’s gender. Blow a big bubble using pink or blue gum to reveal the baby’s gender. Be sure to get this picture-perfect moment captured on camera or video.
10. Scratch-Off Cards
Scratch-off cards make for a fun and interactive gender reveal that builds excitement and suspense. Hand out identical cards to everyone, but only one card will reveal the gender. The person who gets the winning card stands up and announces it!

The Burger Flip
If you’re going to have a BBQ, grill up some burgers and add food coloring in the middle of the burger so when people bite into them, it will be pink or blue!
Movie Trailer
Create a fake movie trailer about your “next big release” coming soon. End the trailer by handing out popcorn that’s pink or blue or showing your ultrasound.
Siri Or Alexa Reveal
Program a custom routine that plays a dramatic drumroll and announces it with fireworks sound effects. When it’s time, ask Siri or Alexa, “Am I having a boy or girl?”
