1. Pumpkin Carving Reveal
Nothing says Halloween like pumpkins, and they can make for a fantastic gender reveal too! Carve two pumpkins—one for each gender—and have a trusted friend fill them with either pink or blue confetti or glow sticks.
When it’s time for the reveal, light up the carved pumpkins from the inside or lift the lid for a burst of color. Not only is this idea simple and fun, but it also doubles as great decor for your Halloween-themed party!

2. Witch’s Brew Gender Reveal Punch
Why not stir up some fun with a bubbling Witch’s Brew? Prepare two batches of punch—one pink and one blue—and hide them in cauldrons. Cover the punch with a smoky layer of dry ice for that extra spooky effect.
When it’s time for the big reveal, pour the chosen “brew” into a glass bowl or pitcher to reveal your baby’s gender. This reveal is not only tasty but also makes for a visually stunning surprise!
3. Haunted House Mystery Box Reveal
For a thrilling and interactive experience, set up a Haunted House Mystery Box. Decorate a large box or small tent like a spooky haunted house. Inside, have balloons or confetti in either pink or blue hidden under a layer of creepy, stretchy cobwebs or glow-in-the-dark skeletons.
Invite guests to reach in and feel their way through to the hidden surprise. When they finally pull out the colored goodies, the gender is revealed in a fun, mysterious way!
4. Spooky Smoke Bombs
Smoke bombs are trending for gender reveals, and Halloween is the perfect backdrop for them! Choose a scenic outdoor location—maybe a park with some autumn foliage or even a creepy graveyard if you’re feeling extra adventurous.
At the chosen moment, light a smoke bomb that releases either pink or blue smoke. The thick, colorful smoke against the backdrop of fall or spooky decor will make for some fantastic photos and a memorable reveal.
5. Trick-or-Treat Bag Surprise
For a classic Halloween twist, give each guest a trick-or-treat bag filled with black and orange tissue paper and candy. But here’s the trick: only one bag holds the real surprise—pink or blue confetti!
When everyone digs into their bags for the sweet treats, one lucky guest will discover the gender reveal! This idea not only keeps everyone involved but also keeps them guessing until the very end.
6. Mummy Wrap Gender Reveal Game
Make your guests work for the big reveal with a fun Mummy Wrap game! Divide them into two teams—Team Pink and Team Blue. Have each team choose a “mummy” to wrap up in colored streamers.
At the end of the game, whichever team’s “mummy” is wrapped in the correct color streamers to match the baby’s gender wins! It’s a great way to get everyone involved and laughing, and it makes for some hilarious photos.
7. Jack-o’-Lantern Piñata
A gender reveal piñata is always a hit but adding a Halloween twist makes it even more fun! Create or buy a jack-o’-lantern-shaped piñata and fill it with either pink or blue candies, confetti, or small toys.
Blindfold the expecting parents or older siblings and let them take turns whacking at the piñata until it bursts open with the gender reveal goodies inside. It’s a smashing good time—literally!
8. Cauldron Cake Reveal
You can never go wrong with cake, especially a themed one! Have a “cauldron” cake made with black icing on the outside and either pink or blue cake layers or filling inside.
When it’s time for the big reveal, cut into the cake to unveil the color. Not only is this reveal sweet and tasty, but it also creates an element of suspense as everyone watches that first slice!
9. Vampire Bite Cupcakes
For a unique and slightly spooky twist, serve “Vampire Bite” cupcakes. These cupcakes have a hidden center filled with either pink or blue cream.
Decorate them with creepy Halloween themes—think spider webs, eyeballs, or vampire fangs. As guests bite into the cupcakes, the filling oozes out, revealing the gender. It’s creepy, delicious, and fun all in one!
10. Ghostly Balloon Pop
For a simple yet impactful reveal, fill black and white ghost-shaped balloons with either pink or blue paint or powder. When the time is right, pop the balloons with a pin, and the color will burst out, revealing the baby’s gender in a vibrant display.
It’s a straightforward idea that packs a colorful punch and looks great on video!
