Gender reveal party decorations: a simple shopping list

A pink-and-blue party needs fewer things than the photos suggest. These eight cover the backdrop for photos, the table and the moment itself.

Some links are affiliate links, so the store may pay us a small commission. Your price doesn't change.

💡 Good to know

Buy the reveal item (confetti cannon or balloon) in both colours only if someone else will load it in secret — otherwise ask the person who knows the result to buy it. Confetti cannons should be fired outdoors and pointed away from faces.

Questions

What do I need for gender reveal decorations?

A balloon set in pink and blue, a banner or backdrop for photos, simple tableware, and one reveal item such as a confetti cannon or a big balloon filled with confetti. A cake topper and "Team boy / Team girl" stickers are fun extras.

Can family abroad join the reveal?

Yes. Diaper Reveal is a free live online gender reveal game: family play from their own phones in any country, and a memory video of everyone's reactions is made automatically.

How this shop works

We don't sell anything and we don't list prices. Each idea is a search on a store in the country you choose — Amazon where it sells, otherwise a big local store — so you see what is actually available and delivered near you.
