The original idea is to have your favorite baker create a blue or pink cake, topped with white (or chocolate!) frosting.

New twists include cookies with pink or blue batter in the middle, and custom fortune cookies with messages inside that reveal the gender. Get more gender reveal dessert ideas.

Have a party and open a giant package while all your guests look on. Inside will be pink helium balloons if it's a girl. Blue balloons if it's a boy. Or, pop a balloon with pink or blue confetti inside. 

GET BIG BRO OR BIG SIS IN ON THE ACTION

If you have an older child, let him or her announce baby's gender by wearing a shirt that says, "I'm getting a baby brother!" or "I'm getting a baby sister!"

Love editing and filtering your favorite photos? Do it to baby's ultrasound pic! Add pink or blue effects or emojis on baby's sonogram and email it to close friends and family or post it on social media.

CHOOSE THE RIGHT OUTFIT

Keep it simple. Just wear pink or blue. If your family lives far away, have your picture taken, and send the photo to them.
