Boy or girl? 6 stunningly simple gender reveals

Orlaith Condon

When it comes to pregnancy trends, there is no denying that a big gender reveal is becoming more and more popular.

From dust explosions to fireworks, the grand reveal has become more common over the last few years thanks to many a viral video.

Well, while we love the idea of a gender reveal, we’re not that keen on all that effort and organisation that goes in.

We’re all about keeping things as simple as possible during a very hectic time.

Yes, you can still achieve an amazing moment for you and your family without all that hassle and the hefty price tag.

Here are six simple ways to share the exciting news.

1. A helping hand

This lovely idea is perfect if you’re already a mum. Rope in your little ones to help with the reveal for a truly memorable moment.

2. Star of the show

Why not make this fun party game the centre of your big reveal? Choose a piñata to fit your theme and fill that bad boy with coloured confetti – or sweets.

3. Unwrap the truth

These simple printables are all you need to have a very sweet gender reveal. And you’ll have a celebratory bar of chocolate as a result – win.

4. Special shower

These fun confetti boxes always make for adorable pictures of the big moment. Fill a cardboard box with balloons, confetti and whatever else you’d like and let the pink or blue mix shower over you.

5. Big bun reveal

A oldie but a goodie – the cake reveal is one of the simplest ways to announce the good news.

We love these simple cupcake ideas, which will make for the perfect party treat.

6. Get silly

This is another reveal that will look amazing in pictures. Stock up on some silly string in either pink or blue and let your guests blast you with the good news.

The mess afterwards will be totally worth it, we promise.
