Reveal Ideas & Inspiration
Creative ways to share the big news
Outdoor Reveal Ideas
Our beer garden is the perfect stage for dramatic outdoor reveals. Popular choices include:
- Smoke cannons, the most popular choice. Vivid pink or blue smoke against the open sky makes for spectacular photos.
- Confetti poppers, handheld confetti cannons that shower pink or blue tissue paper. Best on a calm day.
- Balloon pop, fill a large black balloon with pink or blue confetti. Pop it together for the big reveal.
- Paint throw, wearing white, throw coloured powder paint at each other for an unforgettable reveal (and unforgettable photos).
Indoor Reveal Ideas
If you prefer an indoor gender reveal party, or the weather is not cooperating, these options work brilliantly inside:
- Cake cutting, a white-iced cake with pink or blue sponge inside. The classic reveal moment that everyone loves.
- Box opening, a large box filled with pink or blue balloons that float out when the lid is lifted.
- Scratch cards, hand out custom scratch cards to guests and let everyone reveal at the same time.
- Piñata, fill a piñata with pink or blue sweets. The parents-to-be take turns until the big reveal spills out.
Not sure which reveal method to choose? Our team has seen them all and can help you decide what will work best for your group size, the time of year, and your photography plans. Just ask when you enquire.
