Surprise! You can throw a gender reveal party and not cause a national disaster. You may still be unhappy about the 10,000-acre fire in California this September, but that shouldn’t stop you from wanting to mark your baby’s biological sex. Thankfully, there are safer ways to celebrate a new arrival. Gender-sensitive party ideas today may be a little different than they were many years ago, especially since everyone is trying their best to avoid face-to-face meetings. But it can still be quite memorable.

Of course, baby celebrations are a lot like weddings. There can be many big Instagram-worthy events and moments, but the most important part is being legally a couple. So, remember: even if your gender is not revealed as you thought, the main conclusion is that you will get a healthy and happy child who will always be an important part of your life.

Here are some great party ideas that your guests won’t forget.

Ask guests to wear pink or blue face masks. The color they choose should reflect what they think the baby will be like. It’s a great way to keep an eye on what’s going on and also makes a great photo op for your family and friends.
Play Alphabet Baby Name Race Game. Make postcards or print out papers with each letter of the alphabet. The first guest to put a valid baby name under each letter wins. It will be even more fun if you make it a little more difficult. Perhaps guests can only use celebrity baby names or pop culture baby names.
Make gender-revealing cookies . Who doesn’t love cookies? Ask a local baker (or a good friend) to make some so everyone has their own mini-discovery.
Come up with unique gender reveal themes . Are you Game of Thrones fans ? Then maybe the Dragon Egg Opening is right in your alley.
Consider a balloon party display . Balloons mean a party, and without them, it’s hard to reveal the baby’s gender. This set of displays from Amazon is actually reusable, which is great if you plan on having kids one by one.
Make a party . If you already have kids in your family, this will be a great way for them to feel included. Discuss ideas for blue and pink drinks. Kool-Aid would probably be a great choice. You can then ask your child to lead the drink station and count how many guests chose blue instead of pink.
Make your own scratch offs . Who doesn’t love the thrill of scratching? This project doesn’t require a lot of tools, but it takes time, so you need to plan ahead.
Try baby stuff . Many people have children, but how many people know the statistics regarding babies? This is a great baby shower reveal game if your family loves to learn.
Make the floor reveal the piñata . Piñata is always a great way to communicate important news. (Just make sure you don’t take the aggression of 2020 onto the piñata, especially homemade ones.)
Decorate the bibs . Babies are messy and you will need a lot of bibs. You can buy some pink or blue or just white so guests can write something fun or meaningful. Bonus: This could also be an idea for a baby shower game.
Gather a jar of baby name ideas . Ask each guest to write down their favorite name that they don’t plan to use. Ask them to write down girls’ names if they think revealing will show you have a little girl, or boys’ names if they are #TeamBlue. The results will help you learn more about your friends and family.
Create a diaper board . It’s not only easy, but also a lot of fun. The guests can throw blue or pink balls and you can see which guest has the most points.
Vote with the diaper ballot. Everyone loves to guess, so have your party guests put their gender on the diaper. Before revealing the gender of your child, count the votes and announce to the crowd what majority of the votes have been cast. If the votes match the actual gender, have everyone take a celebratory photo. If not, then no shots – but hey, it’s definitely a holiday.
Bow tie gender teams. Some party guests take gender disclosure very seriously and love being the girl on the team or the guy on the team. Raise the mood of the game by handing out pink and blue bow ties at the door. Let them choose their team. It’s also a great way for your guests to strike up a conversation. Once you reveal the answer, the winning team (and possibly the losing team too will probably experience Super Bowl level excitement). Everyone is just happy that you have a baby!
Secrets or eyelashes. Some men have no idea what it’s like to apply eyelashes! And some women don’t know what it means to have a mustache. So it’s right that we make a game out of this. Buy some lash strips and mimic mustaches and beards. Divide the team into boys and girls. Men must stick eyelashes on each of their blindfolded teammates. In the girls’ team, they will have to stick fake mustaches on their teammates, and also with a blindfold. The first team to be captured or hidden wins! The pictures for this would be amazing too.
Show movie. Are your friends movie lovers? Print a page from the movie and let guests identify the movie’s title. They get one clue – the name has the word blue or pink in it.
Erupt a volcano. It’s time to drop fourth grade science and make baking soda volcano . Instead of the usual decorations like flowers on the tables, place a volcano on each of them. Have bottles of vinegar ready for the actual opening. And in case you forget how to make a papier-mâché masterpiece, place a glass jar in the center of the volcanoes. Add two tablespoons of baking soda, a tablespoon of dish soap, and a few drops of pink or blue food coloring. When the guest pours his bubbles into the volcano, the baby’s sex erupts. Based on the prehistoric nature of volcanoes, you can theme your shower dinosaurs, or based on beautiful places that have them, such as Indonesia or Japan .
Piñata. You can never go wrong with a piñata! Whether it’s a birthday party or your gender extravaganza, this is a great way to end the night. Your guest will enjoy taking turns solving the papier-mâché mystery. And when someone opens it, they can blow pink or blue confetti, or you can fill it with pink or blue candies.
