The big question hangs in the air: He or she?

Gender reveals are high-energy, exciting events filled with anticipation. Unlike a traditional baby shower, which is often about pampering the mom-to-be, a gender reveal is a party for the whole “village” to celebrate the news.

Because these events are often more casual and interactive, your favors should match that vibe! You don’t need to spend a fortune to send guests home with a smile. Here are five DIY favor ideas that are fun, budget-friendly, and totally on-theme.

1. “Team Pink” & “Team Blue” Chocolate Bars

Buy standard chocolate bars and wrap them in custom paper. You can have a basket of “Team Pink” and a basket of “Team Blue” at the entrance, letting guests choose their favor based on their guess!

Whimsy Tip: Use our custom stickers to seal the wrappers for a polished, professional look.

2. “Ready to Pop” Popcorn Jars

Nothing says “celebration” like a salty-sweet treat. Fill mason jars or clear cellophane bags with gourmet popcorn. To make it festive, drizzle the popcorn with pink and blue chocolate melts, or add pastel sprinkles.

The Tag: Attach a tag that says “Ready to Pop!” to tie the treat into the pregnancy theme.

3. Mystery Bath Bombs

This is a fun way to keep the party going even after the guests leave. Create (or buy plain white) bath bombs that reveal a pink or blue color once they fizz in the water. It’s a fun little “after-party” reveal for your friends and family to enjoy at home.

4. Color-Changing Cups

If you want a favor that does double duty, buy reusable cups that change color when ice-cold liquid is added. Guests can use them for drinks during the party and take them home as a keepsake.

5. S’mores Kits (“We Need S’more Love”)

Packs a graham cracker, a marshmallow, and a piece of chocolate in a clear box. It’s a gender-neutral, cozy favor that works beautifully for evening reveals or fall parties.

The Finishing Touch

The secret to making DIY favors look expensive is the packaging. A simple bag of popcorn looks luxe when it’s tied with a velvet ribbon and a cohesive, printed tag. Check out the Whimsy Invites collection to find favor tags that match your reveal invitations perfectly!
