Baby Shower Gender Surprise Ideas
One of the most memorable ways to celebrate this new baby on the way is to throw a gender reveal surprise party!
Whether you know the secret and want to surprise your husband or family, or if you have a "Secret Keeper" who is going to surprise you, I've got 19 cute gender reveal ideas that will knock your compression socks off.
The Gender Reveal Surprise:
A Rite of Parenting Passage
There are three significant dates when it comes to your pregnancy.
- The day you discover you're expecting and everyone celebrates with fancy mama mocktails.
- The day you discover WHAT you're expecting. (Spoiler: it's human.)
- The day your little expectation becomes a bawling bundle of reality and you come home with anawesome first place prize.
There's a prize for #1 and #3…but nothing for #2! TRAVESTY!
I think that day deserves a little memory too. It's time to plan a gender reveal surprise party!
Gender Reveal Surprise Party Theme Ideas
Before we jump in, though, why not consider one of these cute puns as a theme for your event? Which one fits your family best?
- Buck or Doe?
- Wheels or Heels?
- Mister or Sister?
- Staches or Lashes?
- Guns or Glitter?
- Witch or Wizard?
Once you've got a theme picked, you can start customizing your activities and decor.
9 Gender Reveal Ideas for Husband (and Wife)
When it comes to pregnancy, it's easy for Dad to feel like he's on the outside looking in. After all, the most exciting parts in this stage are nestled inside you, moving around playing the drums on your kidneys.
Why not plan a little fun by giving him the exciting news in a special way? Which of these gender reveal ideas for husband match your man's interests most?
Although this section is geared towards the husband, there's no reason why you can't use these for a couple gender reveal surprise as well!
Husband Reveal Idea #1: Get the Motor Running
You will need a non-toxic packet of powder for this idea.
- Open the packet outside. (Trust me, it will get everywhere, and although it's washable, who needs extra work?)
- Pour it into the end of your car/motorcycle exhaust pipe. It won't hurt the car.
- Stuff a little paper in the exhaust behind the powder so it doesn't immediately blow out when you start the engine.
- Count down and rev the engine!
You could also tape a packet of the powder on the tires to do a "burnout reveal"!
Husband Reveal Idea #2: Play Some Sports
Gather up the family! It's time to play a little of your husband's favorite sports, with a fun twist! Pick one of the balls below and let the show begin!
Is your man not into those sports? They also have exploding golf balls to tee off on!
Husband Reveal Idea #3: Launch a Few Cannons
Nothing says celebration like an explosion of vibrant paper! (Especially when you're at someone else's house.)
Pick up a few cannons and launch this thing into history.
Husband Reveal Idea #4: Show Off His Dart Skills
This balloon/dart kit provides everything you need to set up a wicked game of gender reveal darts! Let your man have at it or take turns for a fun husband/wife rivalry. First one to the exploding gender reveal balloon wins!
Husband Reveal Idea #5: Create a DIY Confetti Lantern

Husband Reveal Idea #6: Gift Him a Special Shirt
Matching Daddy t-shirts and onesies are the latest trend in celebrating fatherhood. Let him open a special gift like one of these!
Husband Reveal Idea #6: Hunting for Clues
Is your man a hunter? Head out to his favorite hunting spot and put some of this non-toxic powder inside a black balloon and attach it to a deer or turkey decoy. It's target practice with a surprise!
Husband Reveal Idea #7: Fireside Cuddles
Whether you are snuggling outside in nature or are covered in blankets in the living room, sprinkle a little of this on the logs (real ones only!) and let the flames reveal your baby's gender!
Husband Reveal Idea #8: A Scavenger Hunt
This may be my favorite of all the gender reveal ideas for husband on this page. Create some clues to send him around the house (neighborhood? city?) and finish it off with a wrapped present with one of the t-shirt/onesie options above.

The Ultimate Gender Reveal Surprise Party
There are going to be a lot of memorable moments in the months to come, but only a small handful that areunforgettable. The day you reveal your baby's gender is definitely one of them.
From that moment on, the child is no longer the "baby," but becomes something a whole lot morereal. It's Isabella Rose. or Tristan Jack. It's a family member that you (and the siblings) that will be an integral part of your family forever.
