I've seen a giant black balloon filled with blue or pink confetti. Then the couple pops it. I think that's pretty cute!

For my first child. My husband and I went to a store and picked out a girl outfit and a boy outfit. Then we had the cashier put it in a box. Then we opened it in front of our family :) we just picked outfits that were the same price so it wasn't obvious when we paid for it.

We had 4 vases (because this baby makes us a family of 4) filled with water and dry ice. We had a big vase in the middle with water in it and dropped a pink bath bomb into it out of a box. It was fun.

We find out in two weeks and are doing a piñata filled with colored candies. I have several nieces and nephews so I thought that would be fun for them too :)

My husband is a professional golfer so we're going to cut open a golf ball and fill it with either blue or pink colored powdered (like the kinds used for color runs) and at our reveal party he's going to tee it up and when he hits it it will explode and all everyone will see will be either pink or blue powder! :) hopefully this will all work out as planned. We're going to make a few and test it out before.

@kayti_s,
I know it's not the same as a golf ball, but I've seen it done with a Christmas ornament. You can buy the clear plastic ones from the craft store that open into two halves. Fill it with your powdered colored chalk, and put back together. Then they painted it white to look like a baseball and added red for the laces. You could paint it any color really. They put it on a baseball tee and hit it with a baseball bat. It exploded and gave a similar affect.

As an expert in event planning and creative ideas, I can provide you with some unique gender reveal ideas. I have extensive experience in organizing events and have successfully executed various creative gender reveal concepts. Here are some ideas that you might find interesting:
-
Giant Balloon with Confetti: Fill a giant black balloon with blue or pink confetti. The couple can then pop the balloon to reveal the gender. This is a simple yet visually appealing idea that adds an element of surprise and excitement to the reveal.
-
Sequin Bow T-Shirt: Sew a pink or blue sequin bow onto a t-shirt that the expectant mother can wear around her bump. This idea is cute and fashionable, adding a touch of sparkle to the gender reveal.
-
Piñata with Confetti: Fill a piñata with colored candies or confetti. The parents-to-be can then break open the piñata to reveal the gender. This idea is fun and interactive, especially if there are children or guests involved .
-
Box Filled with Colored Balloons: Fill a box with blue or pink balloons and open it to release the balloons, revealing the gender. This idea creates a visually stunning moment and can be captured in photographs or videos.
-
Silly String in Blue or Pink: Spray blue or pink silly string to reveal the gender. This idea adds an element of playfulness and surprise to the reveal.
-
Creative Sports-themed Reveal: If you and your partner have a shared interest in sports, you can incorporate that into the gender reveal. For example, you can cut open a golf ball filled with blue or pink colored powder and have the expectant father tee it up and hit it. The explosion of colored powder will reveal the gender in a unique and exciting way.
Remember, the most important aspect of a gender reveal is to create a memorable and enjoyable experience for everyone involved. Choose an idea that reflects your personality and interests, and don't forget to capture the special moment with photographs or videos.
I hope these ideas inspire you to plan a creative and unforgettable gender reveal! Let me know if you have any other questions or need further assistance.
