You might have heard of gender reveals that use colored cakes for the big announcement – when you slice the cake, the color is revealed. But for this alternative using cupcakes, bake a batch of plain-colored cupcakes, with just ONE cupcake that contains blue or pink. Then, give everyone a cupcake and have them all take a bite. Someone will get the mystery cupcake, and it’ll be extra exciting!

11. Bonfire gender reveal

If you can brave the January cold, invite everyone over to your outdoor bonfire. Then, throw a pack of blue or pink fire colorant packets into the fire. The color of the flames will reveal your baby’s gender!

If you don’t have a bonfire space of your own, never fret. Peerspace can connect you with venues that do! For instance, our friends in Houston can book this cozy campfire backyard rental home in the Greater Third Ward. Its spectacular fire pit in the backyard is perfect for this January gender reveal idea.

12. Gender reveal snow angels

We’re huge fans of this January gender reveal idea from Chameleon Colors. It involves the fun and classic winter activity of making snow angels. First, line up everyone in your family in height order (even if there are only two of you, it’ll still be cute). Then, in a patch of untouched snow, make snow angels, including one for the incoming new arrival. “Using your fists, create a small baby snow angel indentation at the end of the family line to announce the upcoming arrival of the new addition. Announce your baby’s gender – and make it colorful – by pouring pink or blue color powder into the snow angel indentation.”

What an adorable way to let everyone know the big news! And in case you need a good location for this one, you can rent a space like this Blackfoot River paradise mountain lodge in Bonner-West Riverside, MT, via Peerspace. In January, you’ll find plenty of snowy weather that will make for fabulous snow angel photos.

13. Throw a gender reveal karaoke party

Everyone needs a little fun and excitement during January. So why not deliver the goods in several ways during your gender reveal party? Consider hosting your gender reveal party at a venue with karaoke equipment and sing a song that reveals your baby-to-be’s gender to the eager crowd.

Book a karaoke venue through Peerspace, such as this adorable Cakes & Karaoke venue in Atlanta, GA and delight your guests with karaoke, cakes, and a gender reveal!
