Gender Reveal Invitations

Gender reveal décor generally uses a pink and blue color scheme, but our Independent Creators have gone beyond that tradition, too, and have come up with a variety of ways to represent the boy-girl split. Other ways to phrase or visualize the "Boy or Girl?" question include "He or She?", "Prince or Princess?", "Touchdowns or Tutus?" and "Beau or Bow?" In terms of how to actually announce the news, at the very climax of the gender reveal party, just go to our Zazzle Ideas blog, and to our "23 Gender Reveal Ideas You’ll Want to Try" article. Make sure you have the gender reveal party tableware and gender reveal party favors to go along with the theme you’ve chosen!

Of course, in order to execute some of the ideas we’ve suggested above, you’ll need the ability to create your own invitation (or to adapt someone else’s, at the very least). Fortunately, customized products are the very lifeblood of the Zazzle marketplace, and so our Independent Creators have designed each upload with personalization in mind. Follow the instructions below to bring your gender reveal plans to fruition!

• Step 1: Select a design you like and click on its thumbnail to be taken to the product page. You can browse from our baby shower invitations as well, as the intent is roughly the same.
• Step 2: Once you're on the product page, choose a desired size, corner style and paper type. You can also opt to exclude white envelopes for a slight reduction in price, and recently, we’ve added ‘Instant Downloads’ under a ‘Choose Your Format’ menu, which will ensure you immediately receive a digital version of your order.
• Step 3: Click on 'Personalize' and 'Edit Using Design Tool.' You can then add images and text elements using Zazzle's design interface – this is where you'll add your own personal touch to your product!
• Step 4: Click 'Done' and see the design you’ve brought into the world! If this grand reveal isn’t quite as thrilling as you hoped, then perhaps it’s time to make some changes by clicking ‘Personalize’ again. Otherwise, it’s the ‘Add to Cart’ button you need to press, which will ready your customized item for purchase. Finally, if you want to put your design skills to the test – before your parenting skills are tested with the birth of a new baby – then head to our custom gender reveal invitations page to start afresh with a blank template.

We understand that, even though gender reveal parties are a relatively new invention, they already might seem a little outdated to some – because of their focus on a narrow blue/pink, boy/girl binary. If you want to make some announcement but don’t want it to be the gender, then how about announcing the baby’s astrological sign – essentially confirming the due date – the names you’ve decided upon, the baby’s godparents or simply the fact that you’re pregnant? By the way, we linked you to an article earlier in this piece that contained 23 gender reveal party ideas, but among those are also a small selection of gender-neutral alternatives, in case you missed them. Finally, if you do decide to have a gender reveal party, then that’s okay too: it’s entirely dependent on the parents’ wishes, and we’d love an invite regardless.
