Gender Reveal Invitation Wording: 25 Examples for In-Person and Online Parties

Short answer: say it is a gender reveal, give the date, time and place (or the link or code if it is online), say what people should wear or bring if anything, and add a reply date. Keep the tone the same as the party. Everything below can be copied as it is, or changed to suit your voice. Replace the words in square brackets with your own details.

What every invitation should include

1. 1That it is a gender reveal. Sounds obvious, but a vague "come celebrate with us" leaves people guessing what to wear and what to bring.
2. 2Date and start time. If guests are in different countries, name the time zone or give two times.
3. 3Place, or how to join. An address for in-person, a link or code for online.
4. 4What to bring or wear. Even "just yourselves" is useful. If you want colours, say so kindly and make it optional.
5. 5A reply date. It helps you count heads and send a reminder.
6. 6A line about gifts. If you do not want any, say so plainly. Wider manners are in our gender reveal etiquette guide.

Classic and warm wordings

These suit a card, an email or a printed invitation. They are friendly without being over the top.

• "We are expecting, and we would love you to be here when we find out. Join us for our gender reveal on [date] at [time], at [place]. Please reply by [date]."
• "Pink or blue? Boy or girl? Come and find out with us. [Date], [time], [place]. Light snacks and plenty of cake."
• "Our family is growing, and the biggest question is almost answered. Please join us as we reveal what we are having. [Date] at [time]. [Place]."
• "You are invited to a gender reveal in honour of our little one. Come share the moment with the people we love most. [Date], [time], [place]. Reply to [name] by [date]."
• "A tiny surprise is on its way, and we would like you with us when we open it. Please join us on [date] at [time] at [place] to find out together."

Funny wordings

Good for friends and close family. Keep the joke small so the date and place still stand out.

• "We have been guessing for months and nobody can agree. Come and settle the bet. [Date], [time], [place]."
• "The baby already has opinions, mostly about snacks. Join us to find out whether it is a boy or a girl. [Date], [time], [place]."
• "Help us end the arguments over names, hunches and old wives tales. Gender reveal on [date] at [time]. [Place]. Bring your best guess."
• "We know, we know: you have been asking for weeks. Now you can stop. Come to our reveal on [date] at [time], [place]."
• "There will be cake, there will be a result, and there will be at least one person who says they knew all along. [Date], [time], [place]."

Short wordings for texts and group chats

When the invitation is a message and not a card, shorter wins. These fit in a single text.

• "Gender reveal on [date] at [time], [place]. Say you are coming!"
• "Pink or blue? Find out with us on [date] at [time]. Reply if you can make it."
• "You are invited to our gender reveal: [date], [time], [place]. See you there."
• "Big news is about to get bigger. Reveal party on [date] at [time]. Can you join?"
• "Come find out with us. [Date], [time], [place]. Just yourselves needed."

For family and friends abroad

If grandparents, siblings or old friends live in another country, say clearly that they are invited and how they will be part of it. Put the time in both zones, because a missed time zone is the most common reason people miss the moment.

• "We wish you could be here, so we are bringing the party to you. Join our gender reveal live from your phone on [date] at [time] [your time zone], which is [time] [their time zone] for you."
• "Distance will not stop you from being part of this. We will reveal the result to everyone at the same moment, wherever you are. [Date], [time] [time zone]. The link is below."
• "Mum, Dad, you are invited to the front row, from the sofa. Gender reveal on [date] at [time] your time. Open the link on your phone a few minutes early."
• "Wherever you live, you are family, and you are invited. We are revealing the gender online so everyone finds out together. [Date] at [time] [time zone]. Link: [link]."
• "Set an alarm for [time] [their time zone] on [date]. We will be waiting for you online. There is nothing to install, just tap the link."

For an online party with a link or a 6-letter code

An online invitation has one extra job: telling people exactly how to get in. Give both the link and the 6-letter code, because some guests tap a link and some prefer to type a code. If you use Diaper Reveal, guests need no app and no account, so say that, as it removes the biggest worry. See how to host a gender reveal online for the full setup.

• "Join our online gender reveal on [date] at [time] [time zone]. Tap [link] or enter the code [CODE] on the join page. No app, no account, free."
• "We are playing a short race, answering a quiz about the two of us, and finding out the result together. Open [link] on your phone at [time]. Code: [CODE]."
• "Pink or blue, live on your phone. Click the link at [time] on [date]: [link]. If it asks for a code, use [CODE]."
• "You are invited to a little online party. Join here: [link]. Join code: [CODE]. Come a few minutes early so you are in before we start."
• "Our reveal is online so everyone can be there. On [date] at [time] open [link]. There is nothing to download, and you can join from a phone, a tablet or a laptop."

Small details that make invitations work

• Lead with the date. People decide whether they can come from the date first, so put it on its own line.
• Send two reminders. One a week before and one the day of, with the link or address repeated in each.
• Make colours optional. "Wear pink or blue to show your guess" is a nice touch, as long as it is clearly a suggestion.
• Say who knows the result. If a friend or sibling holds the sealed answer, a line such as "even we do not know yet" adds to the suspense.
• Mention the language. If guests speak different languages, a short invitation in two languages is kind. The Diaper Reveal party itself is available in 24 languages.
• Keep it kind about gifts. "Your company is the gift" is enough, and removes any pressure.

Once the party is done, the host is emailed a short memory film of it. It is free to download for 14 days, and $5 a year keeps it. If you plan to share it with relatives who could not attend, mention that in a follow-up message, not the invitation, so the invitation stays short.
