Gender reveal parties have grown in popularity over the years, due to the likes of the Kardashians and Jessica Alba sharing their own trendy celebrations on social media, and if you're looking for a little inspiration for your own party this year, check out our top ideas below…
Gender reveal cakes
One of the most popular ways to break the news is undoubtedly with a cake - who wouldn't want a slice of M&S's gender reveal sweet treat? The vanilla sponge is either pink or blue while the outer buttercream layer is a delightful mixture of the two colours, topped with sprinkles for good measure.
Gender reveal balloons
Balloons are a super fun way of revealing your baby's gender for all to see, and this one from Ginger Ray is bound to give your party that perfect 'pop'. As you burst the balloon, pink or blue confetti will fall to the ground revealing your baby's gender in a beautiful and interactive way.
Gender reveal confetti cannons
Looking for more of a grand reveal? Nothing says surprise like a confetti cannon! These Ginger Ray cannon shooters come in pink and blue, and will reveal an amazing confetti explosion, making them perfect for pictures to remember the special day.
Gender reveal smoke cannons
If you don't fancy having to clean up lots of confetti once your guests have gone, why not try a smoke cannon instead? These Ginger Ray cannons release coloured smoke and are a super unique way to share your exciting news.
