Gender Reveal Party: the party of the moment
The Gender Reveal Party has now ousted the Baby Shower from its throne, an outdated party that is now a thing of the past. This "new tradition" has been depopulating in Italy and many other countries for only a few years.
The Gender Reveal Party is nothing more than an event where parents and all party guests discover the gender of the baby through original and creative ideas. In recent years, this event has become very popular and so many new parents have decided to hold this party to find out the gender of their newborn. Certainly this party has derived its popularity from VIPs and Influencers, including Chiara Nasti and Mattia Zaccagni who organized their Gender Party at the Olympic Stadium.
The most traditional type of gender reveal party is one in which parents cut a cake decorated with colored frosting. If the inside of the cake is pink, the parents are expecting a girl. If the inside of the cake is blue, it is a boy.
This party is usually held between the 5th and 7th months, after the morphological examination: the gynecologist will be asked to verify the sex and place the result inside a sealed envelope. Then the envelope will be given to a trusted person who will organize the Gendar Reveal Party and should be the only person to know the sex of the unborn baby before the Party.
The parents decide what kind of Party they want to organize: they can organize a big Party or a small party with a few intimates; decide to have a big dinner or an aperitif with cake; in short, on the organization there are no precise rules, there is wide choice on how to organize the Gendar Reveal Party. Even the way in which to reveal the sex can be customized, there are so many ways and everyone can choose what they want.
Let's see how to organize the Gendar Reveal Party in detail.
Thebig reveal
The highlight of the party is when precisely the gender of the unborn baby will be revealed so you cannot have the party start at 6 p.m. and make the announcement at 6:15 p.m. You have to let tensions rise and rise; let the guests guess, make assumptions, hope and have their say. So many people who have organized these parties have also created cheering squads: the blue squad for those who hope it's a boy and the pink squad for those who hope it's a girl. The idea of being able to hand out buttons, team banners or mini bows or mustaches as a way to show support for your "team" could be a fun way to liven up the party, the important thing is that no one gets upset or offended, remember that beyond gender, the important thing is that the baby is healthy.
Guests at the Gendar Reveal Party will surely bring gifts, not knowing the sex expect unisex clothing, or toys, accessories and diaper cakes.
There are many ways to reveal the sex of the newborn, let's look at the most commonly used ones:
Thecake
The first method is definitely the most widely used is the cake; often parents go to bakeries directly with the result sealed inside the envelope: when cutting the cake, if the inside filling is pink it will be a girl, if blue it will be a boy.
The balloon
Another widely used method is to pop a black balloon. Upon bursting it will fly blue or pink glitter to reveal the sex of the newcomer--or the new arrival!
Helium balloon box
Another method used is to place blue or pink helium balloons inside a box. When the parents open the box, obviously creating some suspense, the colored balloons will fly to the sky creating a beautiful effect.
( Think biodegradable balloons so as not to pollute the environment. Read this article to learn more: https://www.repubblica.it/ambiente/2018/05/08/news/_basta_palloncini_nei_cieli_inquinano_i_mari_la_lotta_alla_plastica_anche_nei_cieli-195854069/ )
As we said before though, the Gendar Reveal Party has no strict rules, so if you have an original idea,implement it. If you make a video and post it on social, you might even create a new trend!
