Needless to say, in order to throw a gender reveal party, you'll need to have an ultrasound to find out if the bun in your oven is a boy or a girl! You can do this during your second trimester — around 18 or 20 weeks.

More than that, pink and blue aren't the only color options for baby gender reveal ideas. You can go bold with lime green for a girl and bright orange for a boy. Or you can go with any color at all – you don't have to limit gender to two ideas or colors.

Start by brainstorming creative gender reveal ideas, such as popping a balloon filled with pink or blue confetti, swinging at a gender reveal piñata, or cutting into a gender reveal cake with either pink or blue filling.

How do you do a gender reveal without knowing? ›

Gender reveal using silly string

Few things will bring on the LOLs like the parents-to-be covered in Silly String. This fun gender reveal idea calls for wrapping cans of Silly String with decorative paper so no one knows what color they have. Hand the cans out at your gender reveal party and let the stringing begin!

The only REAL ways to find out are scientific methods, like ultrasound (which can have a margin of error, especially if a boy is “shy” in the photos), amniocentesis, or non-invasive genetic testing that can tell parents the baby's sex as early as 10 weeks into pregnancy.
