Choose a gender reveal that fits your celebration

Start with where you want to celebrate and how you want to reveal the news. Here are a few ideas to help you choose.

A TNT-style powder reveal outdoors

Count down together, then reveal the news with a cloud of pink or blue powder. A TNT-style reveal is an outdoor option to consider if you want the colour to stand out in your photos.

Send us photos of the space, including nearby surfaces and where guests will stand, so we can check whether a powder reveal will suit it. For a park or waterfront venue, you will also need permission from the venue or landowner.

A confetti reveal

Prefer confetti? Let us know whether your celebration is indoors or outdoors. We will need to check the space and equipment, along with the venue's rules and cleanup requirements, before confirming the setup.

Include photos, access and power details in your enquiry. If you change venues, let us know so we can check the new space too.

A backdrop for your reveal photos

A backdrop gives everyone a place for photos before and after the reveal. Share a reference image of the look you like, including any balloons or personalised details. Neutral colours can help keep the surprise.

We can help source backdrops and balloon styling, quoted separately from the reveal equipment. Your quote will list the items, sizes and colours included. Browse the gallery for setup inspiration.

Keep the surprise for yourselves too

Want to find out with your guests? Nominate someone you trust to send us the colour privately. We will agree when and how to receive it, so it stays out of group chats and shared planning messages.

Compare an event setup with DIY hire

Check what each option includes: delivery, setup, operation, styling and collection. If you choose DIY hire, find out what you need to collect, supply and set up yourself.

Compare the full cost once those details are clear. Our TNT-style reveal equipment starts from $680 AUD, with delivery and any styling quoted for your event.

Combining the countdown with a baby shower? See our baby shower themes, backdrop and layout ideas to plan the celebration around the reveal.

Four things to decide

1. Where will the reveal happen, and what does the venue permit?
2. Do you want powder, confetti or a styled photo moment?
3. What styling would you like to add?
4. Who will coordinate the secret colour, countdown and photographs?
