Cousin of the baby shower, the gender reveal party is a party to discover and reveal in an original way the sex of your baby to your family and close friends. Find out what you need to know to organize a great gender reveal party.
What a gender reveal party is ?
The gender reveal party is also done during pregnancy. It is during the ultrasound of the fifth month that parents are able to know the sex of the baby. The gender reveal party will allow to announce if it is a girl or a boy in a more original and amusing way than the ultrasound picture.
In comparison, the baby shower is to celebrate the baby’s arrival. It takes place later in the pregnancy and usually between girls. You will find all the information concerning this practice in another article of the blog.
How the day is going ?
To organize a gender reveal party, two people must be in the confidence: your doctor and the person in charge of organizing this beautiful party. Therefore, your doctor will write on a piece of paper the sex of the baby, which he will enclose in an envelope. This envelope will then be given to your Event Planner or the person in charge of organizing the party. On D-Day, parents will find out the sex of the baby at the same time as their guests. Sometimes they decide to find out the sex beforehand and organize a gender reveal party to surprise their loved ones. In the same way, the mom can surprise the dad, by announcing it to him at the same time as to the guests.
