12 Fun Autumn Gender and Pregnancy Reveal Ideas

For soon-to-be parents looking to announce a pregnancy or their growing baby’s gender, these awesome autumn party ideas are a bountiful harvest of fun!

Fall is one of the most exciting times of year, because it ushers in the holiday season when we’ll be honoring our families and making new memories. With these 12 pregnancy and gender-reveal party ideas, you’ll host an event that’s fitting for the season of change.

Gender-Reveal Party Ideas with a Fall Theme

Election Night Gender Reveal

Depending on the year, host a November party and hold a mock election for the gender of your baby and let your guests cast their vote in the official ballot box. Include fun “I Voted Boy” and “I Voted Girl” stickers for even more thematic fun. Those who guess correctly get party favors and bragging rights until the next election!

Bobbing for Apples Gender Reveal

Tap into your inner child, or let the kids have fun with this one. Mark, or carve one apple with the gender of your baby and have your friends try to find it with the classic game of bobbing for apples! The winner gets a special prize!

Pumpkin Carving Gender Reveal

This can be done a number of ways by hosting a pumpkin carving party. One way to achieve this is by hiding, or having someone else hide a small girl or boy doll or trinket inside of one of the pumpkins. Set all the pumpkins out in a row and let guests choose their pumpkin to carve (without revealing the hidden gem inside one of them). Offer a small prize for whoever chooses the right pumpkin and another for whoever carves the best pumpkin! Be sure to cut open all the pumpkins in the initial line up to make it a surprise.

This can also be used for a pregnancy announcement as well, with a hidden ultrasound in one of the pumpkins!

Another pumpkin carving party option is to have everyone carve their pumpkins, for a fun little pumpkin carving aspect, then choose mom and dad-to-be’s pumpkin and place a predesignated pink or blue smoke stick inside the pumpkin, light it and step back to enjoy what the smoke reveals! If you don’t want to have a pumpkin carving event, you could pre-carve a pumpkin that says “It’s A” or “Baby” and place the smoke stick inside for the big reveal.

Corn Maze Gender Reveal

If you have a cornfield maze near you, see about booking or hosting a race to the end of the maze where the prize is a secret chest with a note revealing the gender of your baby, you can also include a small gift for the winner. You can also coordinate with the maze owners to see if they will hide a pink or blue painted pumpkin somewhere in the maze to be found. Another option is to only have mom and dad-to-be go through the maze and after finding a hidden chest in the maze, bring it back to the rest of the party to reveal the news.

This can also be used to reveal your pregnancy by letting guests know you hid a surprise somewhere in the maze for them to find, and hide an ultrasound picture on the path.

Piles of Leaves Gender Reveal

Do you have a lot of friends or family with kids? If you want to host an autumn gender reveal party or pregnancy reveal where the kids can have fun and take the lead in the excitement, this is the one for you! Rake together a bunch of piles of leaves, of one big pile of leaves, and hide a pink or blue piece of paper with “It’s a Boy” or “It’s a Girl” on the note (or an ultrasound picture), in one of the piles, or somewhere in the middle of the large pile if you choose to just do one. When the time comes, sit back and watch the kids attack the piles of leaves in a scavenger hunt to find the big news!

Pumpkin Spice Cupcake Gender Reveal

For many, Autumn means the season of pumpkin spice and everything nice! Give into the pumpkin spice vibes and host a pumpkin spice cupcake party for your friends and family. Make mini flags for each cupcake that plays into the pumpkin spice theme, “Pumpkin Spice Spice Baby,” “I Love You A Latte,” “Welcome Little Pumpkin.” Paint the bottom of one of the ‘flag poles’ with blue or pink, and give a prize to the person who chooses the right cupcake! Or you could have the inside of all or one cupcake be filled with pink or blue cream cheese frosting.

Unmasking Your Little Monster

If it’s close to Halloween and you want to take advantage of your decorations, host a party where a boy or girl doll is dressed up like a goblin or a ghost. When the time comes, reveal your baby’s gender by removing the mask!
