A gender reveal party can be a fun and exciting event for the new parents as well as their friends and family. If you are hosting the party for yourself, or the expecting mom and dad, there are many things to do before the big event. Fortunately, there are several apps available here to help.

First, you will need to send out invitations, and there are several choices for e-card or printable templates for you to choose from. For example, the Invitation Maker Free, Paperless Card Creator for iOS and Android devices, offers thousands of templates for you to choose from, which are perfect for gender reveal invitations. And if you need activities do keep your guests entertained before the main event, you can find gender reveal games and other party ideas on Pinterest and other inspirational apps. 

However, there may be other friends and family members who live too far away to attend the party. Of course, you wish could be there for the big reveal, but there are creative ways to include them even if they can’t be there in person. For example, using an app that creates a gender reveal ecard or printable card enables you to send a keepsake or photo so they can share in the memories. Using a gender reveal app and hosting an online party is another option that allows you to include everyone no matter where they live, while also taking a lot of the stress off the new mom who may not feel like having a huge party. When you have a virtual gender reveal, you can still make the big moment exciting by sharing a video or sending a fun animated gif that displays whether you are having a boy or a girl. 

So, when you host a gender reveal party, there are several different ways you can make the big reveal. People come up with new gender reveal ideas all the time and you can get plenty of inspiration by checking out photos and videos online. For example, one of the most popular options is to have a gender reveal cake that is either pink or blue on the inside. The gender is revealed once the cake is cut into. Some bakeries will place colored M&Ms on the inside of cakes or cupcakes as well. Releasing gender reveal balloons is another option if you want a more dramatic approach. Also, a gender reveal balloon pop or pinata are two other fun ideas you may want to try.
