When to send

Paper or digital?

FAQ

Who hosts a gender reveal?

Usually the parents to be. A friend or family member can host too, but the parents should always approve the guest list.

Do you bring a gift to a gender reveal?

Not usually. A gender reveal isn't a shower. If you want to bring something, a small treat or a book is plenty.

Who knows the gender before the reveal?

Often just one person, like a friend or the baker, who gets the sealed envelope from the doctor. Sometimes the parents know and keep it secret from everyone else.
