17 Creative Gender Reveal Party Themes (2024)

Planning a gender reveal party is the best way to celebrate the announcement of your child’s gender. They are events that can be as low-key or as involved as you like. Plus you have the flexibility of hosting the party almost anywhere. All you need is the right gender reveal party theme to plan around. As experts in party planning, Peerspace is here to help!

1. A prince or princess party

Will the baby-to-be be a little prince or princess? Make royalty the theme of your gender reveal party with invitations featuring heraldry, crowns, family crests, and other medieval touches! Keep two sections of the party well stocked with snacks colored pink or blue so guests have to keep on guessing until the final gender reveal happens!

2. Boho chic gender reveal

The stylish yet relaxed character of boho-chic venues offer the perfect setup for a gender reveal party! It is a free-spirited and eclectic look that’s sometimes hard to place since there are so many ways to do it! For a boho-chic gender reveal party, try using pillows on the floor with low tables for a more informal dining and socializing atmosphere.

Peerspace has hundreds of venues across the nation that have just the right balance of bohemian and chic for this theme. For example, this retro-inspired space in Baltimore, MD, is a wonderful venue for hosting a boho-chic gender reveal party!

3. A team blue & pink party

Looking for a slightly competitive gender reveal party theme? Make Team Blue and Team Pink the story of the occasion! Divide your guests into two groups and have games that focus on scoring points. You can give out t-shirts, wristbands, hats, and other party favors with each team’s color. See which team gets the most points; will it match the final gender reveal?

4. What will the baby bee?

Get creatively adorable with this simple question! We don’t know what the baby will be until the final reveal; in the meantime, celebrate the occasion with bee-themed snacks, decorations, and games! You should use black and yellow party balloons, honey cakes, cut flower arrangements, and other accessories that play up the bee theme!

Besides party themes and awesome party venues, Peerspace can help you plan your menu with these creative gender reveal food ideas. Check them out!

5. Outdoor picnic gender reveal

Looking to host a lovely summer party? Take the celebration outdoors and make it a picnic to remember! An outdoor picnic brunch or lunch can be held at a local park or a party venue with a garden, pond, and a few shade trees. 

6. Nautical-themed party

How about taking to the high seas as a gender reveal party theme? For the boy elements, include sailing outfits, boats, anchors, and fishing rods. The girl element of this theme is mermaids, so think seashells, fishtails, pearls, and other accessories!

7. Gender reveal color party 

Color themed parties are all the rage these days. They are one of the easiest ways to add a cohesive theme to any special event. All you need is your favorite color; blue and pink are the ideal choices for a gender reveal party but you could easily go with red, white, blue, or anything else you like. A color party is cohesive from the food you choose to the decorations.

Encourage guests to also dress the part by choosing apparel that matches the color party theme! We at Peerspace have explored this idea in depth and want to share with you some pink, blue, white, and purple party ideas to get you started!  

8. Super soaker gender reveal party

Remember the super soaker water guns that came out in force when summer was in full swing? You can still buy those today and invoke some nostalgic fun with your party guests for an awesome gender reveal party idea! Firstly, have everyone dress in clothes that they don’t mind getting a little dye on. Or you can provide guests with white T-shirts and other clothes. Fill each super soaker with the color of the baby-to-be and when it’s time for the final reveal, let everyone start shooting!

9. Gender reveal pinata party

No matter how old you are, you’re never going to outgrow the fun of a pinata! You can have these custom-made for a gender reveal party to unleash a flurry of pink or blue confetti when burst open! Pink or blue candies, coins, paper butterflies, stickers, and other additions can also be used for filling the pinata. Don’t forget the blindfold and stick for everyone to take a turn with!
