  2. No gifts please. Save it for the shower.
  3. Wear pink or blue for your guess.
  4. Food and drink provided. Children very welcome.
  5. Outdoors if it is dry, indoors if it is not. Dress accordingly.
  6. Please let us know if you are coming so we can size the cake.

  8. Parking is on the street and gets busy after 1pm.

Short lines

  1. Boy or girl? Come and find out!
  2. The big reveal — Saturday, 2pm.
  3. Pink or blue? Join us.
  4. Come and find out with us.
  5. One cake, one answer.
  6. Gender reveal — details inside.
  7. We would love you there.
  8. Guesses welcome.

How to word it well

  1. Say when the reveal itself is. It is the one moment nobody wants to miss, so give it a time.
  2. Set the scale. “No confetti cannons, just cake” saves guests wondering what to expect or wear.
  3. Say something about gifts. Most people prefer to save presents for the shower and are glad to be told.
  4. Mention filming. Reveals usually get recorded and shared, and some guests would rather not be.
  5. Keep it short. The party has one job and the invitation should reflect that.

FAQ

What do you write on a gender reveal invitation?

The date, a start time, the time of the reveal itself, the address, and a line about gifts. Keep it short.

Should you ask for gifts?

No. “No gifts please — save it for the shower” is standard and welcome.

Should guests wear pink or blue?

Only if you want them to. If you do, say so explicitly — guests will not guess.

How far in advance should invitations go out?

Two to three weeks. These are usually smaller and less formal than a shower.

What is a good short line?

“Boy or girl? Come and find out with us!”

Should you mention that it will be filmed?

Yes. Reveals are almost always recorded and shared, and it is polite to let guests opt out.
