10 In-Person & Online Gender Reveal Ideas for Twins

It's twins! Congratulations, parents, you've been blessed with two babies. So, while you're busy navigating your way through that, you don't want to be stressing about gender reveals. Good job we've done the thinking for you with our gender reveal ideas for twins.

Any chance to celebrate you and your new babies is great, especially when you involve the whole family.

Whether you choose to do that online or in person, both are valid, and you'll find a reveal idea here at Snüz!

In-Person Twin Gender Reveal Ideas

All your friends and family gathered around, ready to celebrate you and your new babies – that sounds perfectly wholesome.

Gender reveal parties are becoming more popular by the second, and if that's the route you want to go down, we're here to help you work out the details of your reveal.

We have something to match everyone's style, so let's get into it:

Note: For these gender-reveal ideas, best friends or family members (someone you trust) will have to organise the reveal for you if you're hoping to find out the gender of your babies at the party.

#1 Gender Reveal Balloons

Ah, the classic. A gender reveal party balloon is often the go-to when it comes to the big announcement. But in your case, you'll need two.

They'll also double as pretty gender reveal party decorations.

Get two large “Boy or Girl” balloons (making sure they're not clear) and fill them with blue or pink confetti.

Nude or beige balloons are highly popular at the moment, with most parents wanting to match them to their minimalist vibe.

A black, silver or gold balloon weight would look super aesthetic with the neutral balloon, too.

Pop the balloons simultaneously, and relish in the surprise with your closest ones.

#2 Gender Reveal Party Cake

Another popular go-to, but way more delicious. A gender reveal cake will surely put a smile on your guest's faces when they realise they get to eat your reveal.

Have a cake made with various layers of sponge. If it's girls, the sponge should all be pink; for boys, it should all be blue; and for a girl and a boy, the sponge should be alternately coloured.

Cut the cake with your partner in front of your guests to find out your exciting news!

You could also use blue or pink twin babies cupcake toppers if you want to send your guests home with a little gift.

#3 Chalk-Loaded Footballs

Do you have a football-mad family? Or perhaps your twins won't be your firstborn children, and you'd like a creative way to include your little one in the gender reveal.

You can actually buy gender-reveal football kits online. Of course, you'd need two. Fill them with the blue or pink chalk provided, and that's all the prep needed for this unique gender reveal.

You and your partner or your little one can kick the footballs around until they burst, revealing the different colours inside.

#4 Light It Up!

This idea would be especially cute if you're hosting a cosy gender reveal at home in the winter.

All you'd have to do is buy blue or pink fairy lights (blue and pink if you're expecting both genders) and display them around your home.

Start a countdown with your guests, and switch on your lights to reveal your two babies' genders!

#5 Balloon Darts

This is another one for a sport-crazy family, but it's also a great way to get your guests involved with the reveal.

Fill two balloons with chalk, blue for twin boys or pink for twin girls, and pin them to a wall using the knot (preferably a wall that you don't mind getting darts thrown at!).

Allow your guests to take turns throwing darts at the balloons. Once they're hit, the balloons will pop to reveal the colours.

Online Twin Gender Reveal Ideas

Online gender reveals are ideal for many reasons:

Your family doesn't live close by.
You haven't budgeted for gender reveal party supplies.
You simply don't have the time for a party.
Keeping things low-key is more your style.
You want to tell everyone at the same time.
You want to prioritise having a private reveal with your partner first.

See, that's why online gender reveals are popular.

So, if you think any of those apply to you, here is a list of online/social media reveals you can steal for your twin gender reveal:

#6 Interactive Voting Game

You can create a poll on pretty much any social media platform, so you can use it to your advantage.

Create a poll asking your friends/followers to vote on whether you're having girls, boys or both. Once all results are in, reveal your news with a few words on a status or story. Super easy and interactive.

#7 Scratch-Off Card Reveal

We did a bit of digging and found out that you can actually get digital scratch cards made online!

We thought this was a super cute and interactive way for your long-distance friends and family to be part of your gender reveal.

Have some made that reveal the gender of your two babies, and send them by email to your closest ones. So simple, but so fun!

#8 Twin Baby Grow Reveal

We see this one popping up a lot of our Instas, so why not use it yourself?

Purchase two baby grows or baby sleeping bags in the colour of your babies' genders and other little baby items in blue or pink.

Take a photo and post it to your socials with a cute caption. Watch the likes and congratulatory comments flood in and feel the love.

#9 Video Montage

This is for the influencers in the making. Have you ever seen those emotional black-and-white videos that turn into colour to reveal the gender? Well, that's what we're talking about today.

If you've been good at capturing different moments throughout your pregnancy, whether shopping, building baby cots or decorating your nursery, that'll definitely help you with this idea.

Collate all those videos together into one montage, ensuring it's in black-and-white, and put some calming music over the top.

At the end, insert a video showing the gender of your babies (pink baby grow, blue socks, etc.) and ensure that one is in colour.

And there you have it, a lovely gender reveal video you can share with your loved ones.

#10 Baby Item Display

Finally, the most typical online gender reveal – the baby item display with a letter board.

Write something like, "One pink, one blue, we can't wait to meet you!" on your letter board, and place it flat on a neutral background.

Place baby items and gender decorations around the board and take your photo. Post it to your socials or send it to your family, and wait for their happy replies!

Going Through a Twin Pregnancy

We're sure you know all this already, but we thought we'd give you a little reminder just in case some things have been slipping your mind recently. That's okay – we know about the baby brain!

Mums and dads, finding out you're pregnant with twins can come as a huge shock, especially if they don't run in the family; you could have been blind-sighted!

But it's important not to forget the basics. Here's a list of things to note:

There is an increased risk in a twin pregnancy, so make sure you attend all appointments.
If your babies are MCDA or MCMA (you'll find this out at your 12-week scan!), you can expect more scans because they're a higher risk. Go to them!
You don't need to eat extra portions! Try to have a healthy, balanced diet, and drink lots of water.
Having twins demands more from your body. Make sure you get adequate rest, you may need to stop working earlier than expected.

If you're struggling, remember to speak to a professional, like your midwife or doctor. More help can also be found online on the NHS website.

While you're preparing for your babies, remember that a good night's sleep will be paramount when they arrive, especially when there are two.

So, consider our SnüzPod cribs, which offer premium style, comfort, and safety and ensure a great night's sleep.
