The Best Gender Reveal Party Supplies
Finding out you are pregnant is a thrill in and of itself, but the feeling of finding out your baby's gender is its own brand of joy. That's when you can really get down to planning and prepping for your little bundle of joy to arrive. Everyone has a different way of finding out and announcing their baby's gender, but any celebration needs supplies. No matter your theme, our list of the best gender reveal party supplies can help you throw a memorable bash for your growing family.
What to Look For
When you’re searching for the perfect gender reveal party supplies, we suggest thinking about a few things. First of all, consider the size of the party you’ll be throwing and look for a kit that’s sized appropriately. Next, ask yourself what kind of accessories you want. Are you looking for a comprehensive set that includes everything you could possibly need, from balloons to party favors? Or would something understated be a better fit? Finally, consider price. The right option will provide you with what you need without requiring you to spend more than you’re comfortable with. With those criteria in mind, we decided on a few favorites, ranging from Sweet Baby Co.’s confetti cannons to Primepure’s all-encompassing reveal kit and more. To learn more about our favorite picks, simply keep on reading.
Sweet Baby Co. Gender Reveal Confetti Cannons
If you love to make a statement or put on a show, the Sweet Baby Co. Gender Reveal Confetti Cannons are just what you need. Just point and twist to send a cloud of colored smoke and slow-falling confetti into the air. There are two layers, so the burst lasts longer than many other cannons you can find. They’re an excellent choice for anyone who wants to stand out and give their guests a long-lasting photo-op.
Pros:
- There’s enough unrecyclable waste in this world, which is why we love that the confetti and colored smoke packed in these cannons are biodegradable and food grade.
- Initially, we were concerned about how we’d be able to tell if we selected the gender-appropriate cannon. Thankfully, the color is hidden on the bottom of each cannon to ensure you choose the right ones.
- It’s designed to release and fall slowly for beautiful pictures.
Cons:
- Cleaning up after you pop them indoors can be a tall order.
Ercadio Gender Reveal Cupcake Toppers
Sweet surprises
Cake is mandatory at any good party, even gender reveals. We prefer cupcakes because they are easier to make and take less work to transport and serve than a full-size cake. Ercadio Gender Reveal Cupcake Toppers are the perfect final touch to your cupcakes. Besides having both blue and pink colors included, girl and boy labels add a bit of mystery to the reveal. Each one stands up easily with a wooden dowel, so you never need to worry about them falling over or out of the cupcakes.
Pros:
- Whether you’re expecting a boy or a girl, both the pink and blue versions are vibrant and glittery.
- Considering that it comes with 24 cupcake toppers in each set, we think this is a great deal.
Cons:
- Only one side is decorated while the back is plain white.

- We love that all of the included pieces are high-quality and durable, especially the inflatable “boy” or “girl” balloons.
Cons:
- The included dot stickers don’t hold the balloons well, so you will want a ribbon or your own adhesive.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does a gender reveal party consist of?
Gender reveal parties usually include cake, games, and lots of balloons, but they all lead up to the main event: the big reveal of whether you’ll be welcoming a baby boy or girl. There are many ways to announce the gender itself. Many people choose to get a cake filled with pink or blue filling. Some go with a confetti cannon or a black balloon filled with blue or pink confetti.
Why should I have a gender reveal party?
Gender reveal parties are often more laid back than the average baby shower. They are also an excellent choice for families who already have kids and have everything they need but still want a way to celebrate their new baby with friends and family. We enjoy how exciting it is for kids to find out if they will have a new baby brother or sister.
Who typically attends a gender reveal party?
This is a largely a personal matter, so it varies. Typically, immediate family, close friends, and other close relatives are invited. Of course, you can make your gender reveal party as large or as intimate as you want.
