One thing that’s certain at every gender reveal is colour! Whether it’s a burst of blue, a pop of pink or whatever colour you wish to use, everyone gathers to celebrate the exciting moment when one colour is revealed. How that reveal happens however can range from the simple to the brilliantly creative.
One of the most effective ways to share the big news is with colour powder. It adds a fun, exciting twist to the event, creating a picture perfect moment to capture lasting memories. Here are some of the best colour powder ideas to make your gender reveal extra special and unforgettable.
Colour Powder Balloon Pop Gender Reveal
For a simple yet effective gender reveal, a colour powder balloon pop never fails to impress. For this gender reveal, have a trusted friend or family member fill a large black balloon with either blue, pink or an alternative colour powder of choice. We recommend using a funnel or creating a cone out of paper to make it easier to pour the powder into the balloon.
After the balloon has been filled, the next steps are to inflate it, ideally with helium for a better effect, however a balloon pump will work too. During this process, be careful not to spill any of the powder inside. If you’re choosing to inflate the balloon using your mouth, be extra careful not to ingest any of the powder.
On the big day, gather your guests outdoors and pop the balloon with a pin or needle for a burst of bright colour and a memorable gender reveal.
Gender Reveal Colour Fountain
If you’re looking for a spectacular, ‘wow’ factor moment for your gender reveal, a colour powder fountain is the way to go. Shaped and used like a fire extinguisher, a colour powder fountain releases a powerful, continuous stream of bright powder that shoots up to 20ft in the air, creating a large cloud of colour. Using a powder extinguisher for your reveal creates an exciting, high energy moment that looks incredible on camera, giving you brilliant photos and videos to look back on.
For the actual reveal, choose an outdoor area with plenty of space to get the full effect of the fountain. You can choose to either hold the fountain in your hands and release the powder yourself, or set it behind a backdrop or display for an even more spectacular sight. Have a trusted friend or family member behind the backdrop, ready to release the safety pin after the countdown. This way, you can truly take in the moment, watch with suspense with the rest of your guests and celebrate with them when the surprise is revealed.
When purchasing a gender reveal colour fountain from Ministry of Colours, you’ll receive a white fountain, with no indication of the colour inside so as to not spoil your surprise. If you would like to place an order without knowing the gender, a member of our team will be happy to discuss options with you, or alternatively have a friend or family member place the order for you.
Sports-Themed Gender Reveal Colour Powder Explosions
If you or your partner are sports enthusiasts, there are multiple ways to incorporate this theme into your gender reveal. Using an empty sports ball shell, such as a golf ball, football, rugby ball etc., have a trusted someone fill it with either blue colour powder, pink colour powder or an alternative colour of choice.
For this gender reveal, you’ll definitely want to be outside in a big open area to give space for the activity as well as for the powder to burst. Depending on your sports ball of choice, swing, kick or toss the ball and watch as a cloud of colour powder explodes in the air, revealing your big surprise.
For boxing enthusiasts, incorporate your favourite sport into your gender reveal by taping 100g bags of blue or pink colour powder to boxing pads. Then, have one person wear the pads and the other the boxing gloves. When the gloves hit the pads, the bags of colour powder will burst into a vibrant cloud of colour.
Colour Powder Gender Reveals Using Vehicles
From cars and motorbikes to quadbikes and even tractors, there are plenty of exciting ways to incorporate vehicles into your gender reveal if you’re an automotive enthusiast! One of our favourite gender reveals we’ve supplied colour powder for featured a tractor blowing a vibrant cloud of blue powder from its exhaust, creating a big, bold and unforgettable moment.
Car burnout gender reveals have become a popular choice, as they’re simple to set up yet deliver a brilliant visual impact. Start by taking your bag of colour powder and placing it on a clean section of the tyre, firmly securing it with double sided tape. Once everything’s in place, have your designated driver start the engine, rev the vehicle while keeping their foot on the brake and watch as a burst of bright powder explodes from the wheels.
Another exciting option is to fill a car or motorbike exhaust with colour powder using a spoon or funnel. When doing so, make sure there’s no excess powder left on the ground that could give away the surprise! When ready, have someone rev the engine of the vehicle and enjoy as a cloud of colour shoots from the exhaust, making for a memorable way to share the special news.
A gender reveal is all about sharing a special moment with loved ones as you celebrate the excitement of finding out the gender of your baby.
