🔗 Diaper Reveal
Gender reveal in the UAE, live with family back home
Living in Dubai, Abu Dhabi or anywhere in the Gulf, with your parents in India, Pakistan, the Philippines or the UK? Send one free link and everyone watches the reveal live on their own phone, at the same moment as you.
Free · No app · No sign-up
Why one live link beats a video call
One link, every country
Make a free party and send the link or 6-letter code on the family WhatsApp group. Grandparents in Lahore, Mumbai, Manila or Manchester use the same one.
Nothing to install
Guests open the link in their phone's browser, type a name and they are in. No app, no account.
A secret that stays secret
If you don't know the gender yet, send the secret keeper link to the person who does (a friend, a sibling, a midwife). They enter it privately and it stays sealed until the live moment.
A film to keep
After the party the host gets a film of the reactions, so the family who were up late or at work can watch it again.
Time zones: one start time, five clocks
UAE time is UTC+4 all year. Here is what the same moment looks like for the family.
| UAE | UK (winter) | India | Pakistan | Philippines |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 5:00 pm | 1:00 pm | 6:30 pm | 6:00 pm | 9:00 pm |
| 6:00 pm | 2:00 pm | 7:30 pm | 7:00 pm | 10:00 pm |
| 8:00 pm | 4:00 pm | 9:30 pm | 9:00 pm | 12:00 am (midnight) |
- Pick the time for the people furthest away. The Philippines is 4 hours ahead of the UAE, so anything after 8 pm Dubai time is midnight for them. 5 to 6 pm Dubai works for all four places.
- Use the weekend. The UAE weekend is Saturday and Sunday (Friday is a half day for many), while India, Pakistan and the Philippines have Sunday off. Sunday late afternoon in Dubai is the one slot where everyone is usually free.
- Mind the UK clock change. The UAE does not change its clocks. The UK moves one hour in March and October, so a time that was 2 pm in London in winter is 3 pm in summer.
- Say the time in each person's own time. When you add a date and time to the party, each guest sees the start in their own time zone and can save it to their calendar, so nobody has to do the maths. In the family chat, also write it out once, for example "6 pm Dubai / 7:30 pm India".
- Tell the closest people first. A quick call to your parents before the group message means nobody finds out from a WhatsApp ping.
What to write when you send the link
Put the time in each country's clock. Copy one and swap in your own names.
- "Sunday at 6 pm Dubai time (7:30 pm India, 7 pm Pakistan, 10 pm Manila, 2 pm UK) we find out if it's a boy or a girl. Tap this link and watch with us."
- "Dadi, Nani, everyone: we want you with us when we find out. One link, no app. Open it on your phone on Sunday and you'll see it at the same second as us."
- "Can't be there in person but you can be there live. Save the link, set an alarm, and bring your guess."

Expat gender reveal: your questions
How do we do a gender reveal in Dubai when our families live in other countries?
Make a free party, add a date and time that suits everyone, and send the same link or 6-letter code to the whole family. They open it on their own phone, in the same live room as you, so everyone sees the reveal at the same second, in any country.
Is it free?
Yes. Creating the party, sharing the link and playing are free. No card is required.
Do relatives need an app or an account?
No. Guests open the link in their phone's browser (or type the 6-letter code), enter a name and they are in.
What time should we pick with family in India, Pakistan, the Philippines and the UK?
5 to 6 pm UAE time is the easiest: about 1 to 2 pm in the UK, 6:30 to 7:30 pm in India, 6 to 7 pm in Pakistan and 9 to 10 pm in the Philippines (UK times are one hour later in summer). Each guest also sees the start time in their own time zone on the invite.
Can the link be opened before the party?
Yes. Guests can open it early and wait in the lobby. Nothing is revealed until the party has been played, so opening the link early never spoils the answer.
Does it work on any phone and network?
Yes. The same link works on any phone, on any network, in any country, and everyone sees the reveal at the same second.
Can we keep the gender secret from ourselves too?
Yes. Send the secret keeper link to the person who knows the gender (a friend, a sibling, a midwife). They enter it privately, it stays sealed, and you find out live with your guests.
