Gender Reveal
Pink or blue, a room full of guesses and one big moment.
Parents to be
A gender reveal is a party built around one moment, so keep everything else simple: pink and blue side by side, with cream and gold to soften the room. A balloon garland behind the cake table gives the reveal a place to happen.
Let the guests take sides early. A vote at the door, a quiz of old wives’ tales and a bit of friendly rivalry make the wait part of the fun. Then everyone counts down together and the colour answers the question.
