Your team wants in on the news. Here's how to share it at work in fifteen minutes, without a single awkward moment.
In this guide · 4
Sharing a gender reveal at work is a lovely way to include the people you see every day. It just needs to be short, optional, and easy for everyone, including the colleague who joins from another time zone.
In the office
- Cupcake reveal at lunch. Plain icing outside, pink or blue inside. Everyone bites at once.
- Guess board. Put a sheet in the kitchen for a week: write your name under boy or girl. Reveal at Friday's coffee.
- Colour of the day. Ask the team to wear their guess. The reveal settles who was right.
With a remote or hybrid team
A video meeting reveal works, but it's mostly people watching a screen. A short live game is more fun and fits in fifteen minutes: with Diaper Reveal, you drop one link in the team chat at the end of a call. Everyone opens it on their phone (no app, no account), picks team pink or blue, plays a quick race and a quiz about you, and the winner reveals the gender live to everyone at once. Cameras are optional, which suits colleagues who'd rather not be on video.
Keep it comfortable for everyone
- Make it optional and keep it short.
- Hold it at lunch or the end of the day, not in someone's focus time.
- Be aware that baby news can be hard for colleagues going through fertility struggles or loss. A quiet heads-up to close colleagues is kind.
- Keep quiz questions light: favourite snack, worst commute, not anything private.
