1. Plan a beautiful (and slightly spooky!) Halloween photoshoot reveal

If you’re planning on a social media reveal, renting a spooky Halloween venue for a gender reveal photoshoot is a great choice for making the announcement! A Peerspace venue like this spooky Halloween and elegant rose set in Atlanta, GA comes with all the spooky and fun decor you need for your photoshoot. You’ll have access to the all-black room seen above as well as a softer, more feminine all-white room strewn with roses for more traditional maternity photos!

You, your partner, and your photographer will definitely appreciate having an on-theme space to host a gender reveal photoshoot to surprise your loved ones.

2. Host your gender reveal party in a spooky setting

Looking for a spooky setting to host all your Halloween gender reveal ideas and guests? How about renting a gorgeous yet eerie haunted house like this one on Peerspace? This Los Angeles home was built in the 1930s but was partially burned in 2016, giving it extra spooky vibes. Check out all the photos of this 10-acre property and eerie home on Peerspace and book it for your gender reveal.

3. Play around with a Halloween candy reveal

What’s Halloween without Halloween candy?? The holiday’s tasty treats can easily become a part of your Halloween gender reveal ideas, especially if you host in a spot like this original historic 50s soda fountain and candy store in Pasadena, CA!

For your gender reveal you can color the “her” on a “Hershey’s” candy bar pink and hand them out after the big reveal. For a boy, color the “he” of “Hershey’s” blue instead before handing out this tasty treat!

4. Show off a Halloween bun in the oven

You’ve got more than a bun in the oven — you’ve got a gender reveal pie baking too! For a fun photoshoot idea, rent a commercial kitchen through Peerspace and whip up a fall or Halloween-themed pie with your partner. This gorgeous kitchen studio in Los Angeles, CA provides you with both all-white and all-black commercial kitchens, which is especially perfect if you’re planning a twin gender reveal.

You are sure to get some adorable maternity-esque photos while you bake and then, after the pie is out of the oven — slice it open and reveal whether it’s blueberry or strawberry rhubarb! Alternatively, you can make a pumpkin pie and use pastry to write the word “boy” or “girl” on top too!

5. Make a colorful smoke bomb pumpkin

Let that pink or blue smoke bomb off in a carved pumpkin for a fun Halloween twist on a traditional gender reveal! However, keep in mind there are a few things you should know about smoke bomb gender reveals and smoke bomb photography. Learn more about how to nail it in this Peerspace article.

6. Celebrate mommy, daddy, and baby pumpkin

Carving pumpkins is a Halloween must and a great way to share your baby’s gender with friends and family! Rent a fun farm on Peerspace like this wildflower and pumpkin farm in Sheridan, IN, and share the day with your nearest and dearest, carving pumpkins and enjoying the farm life. You can carve out the tummy of your pumpkin and place a little pumpkin inside.

When everyone is revealing their pumpkin carving art, show yours too. But then twist the baby pumpkin around to show the words “I’m a boy!” or “I’m a girl” written on the other side of your mini pumpkin!

7. Brew up a baby in the cauldron

No toil and trouble being cooked up here — just a sweet little boy or girl! Mix together a secret concoction at your baby shower in a witch’s cauldron that, with just the right amount of stirring and added ingredients, turns either blue or pink! An enchanted tiki bar like this one in Washington, D.C. would be ideal for just such a gender reveal!

8. Paint your belly to reveal the gender

Paint your belly with a baby announcement message or artwork this Halloween — and then show it off in a stunning photoshoot!

One of our favorite Halloween gender reveal ideas would be to rent a beautiful bathtub photoshoot space, like this rustic charmed gardens and greenhouse in Leander, TX, and take photos of your belly artwork while relaxing in a milk bath. Fun Halloween-themed artwork ideas include a blue or pink Calavera baby painted on your tummy or a little baby witch if you are having a girl!

9. Dress up with a gender reveal hint for next Halloween

Some outfits just can’t be completed without a baby! Reveal the gender of your baby by them being the missing link in your cute Halloween event. Start by renting a beautiful Halloween venue, like this enchanting Victorian manor in Fort Plain, NY, for a combined gender reveal and Halloween party.

Make sure to ask all your guests to dress up! Then, make an announcement at some point during the night about welcoming the missing piece of your costume. For example, if you are dressed up as Fred and Wilma Flintstone, you can announce little girl Pebbles will be joining the party next year! Or, if you dress up as Barney and Betty Rubble, you can announce little boy Bamm Bamm will be in tow at the next Halloween party!

10. Unwrap the mummy to reveal the baby’s gender

For a totally hilarious gender reveal photoshoot, go for a “mummy” theme. First, rent out a gorgeous, large, and well-lit bathroom space like the one in this elegant and beautifully maintained old world stone house near Philadelphia, PA. Then, hire a photographer to capture the moment as you unwrap “mummy”-to-be from her toilet paper costume!

Underneath the toilet paper on mummy-to-be’s belly, write “it’s a boy!” or “it’s a girl.” You are sure to capture tons of laughs in a reveal like this one!

11. Dig through the leaf pile to reveal the gender

If you live in a place where leaves are falling around Halloween, make the leaf piles part of your gender reveal! If you don’t have leaves in your own yard, you can always rent out a gorgeous venue, like this historic barn in Ashton, MD for a fall leaf-themed reveal.

For this Halloween gender reveal idea, have someone hide a present revealing your baby’s gender in one of the leaf piles. Then, it’s up to you and your spouse to jump through them and find which one is hiding the answer!

12. Reveal the gender with a lighting display on a spooky “haunted house”

Do you have a seasonal haunted house near you that is perfectly decorated to send chills up your spine? Then talk to the venue’s manager about possibly using the exterior of the venue and some special lighting to literally put a spotlight on your gender reveal! This idea may be easier when you book a Peerspace venue since Peerspace hosts are happy to accommodate requests to help you get the look you want for your event or production.

For example, our friends in Florida can book this massive and immersive haunted house attraction and trails in Plant City. It’s the perfect spot for casting light on the eery shadows and revealing your baby’s gender in a truly unique way!

13. The piano reveals all at a haunted historic Victorian mansion

If you;re musically inclined, why not use music to reveal the gender of your baby? To give it a Halloween spin, book a Peerspace like this spooky 1884 Queen Anne Victorian mansion in Riverside, CA and make use of its amazing furnishings to serve as your gender reveal props. For instance, you can sit at the piano and play an eery tune as blue or pink smoke surrounds you, all to be captured by your partner or videographer and shared to your socials, of course!
