From pumpkin carving and pink confetti to the Sanderson sisters and gender reveals with older siblings, there’s something for everyone on this list.
Use these ideas to bewitch and beguile your party guests and celebrate your new addition in style!
1. A Baby is Brewing (Witch Theme)
We love this fun and bewitching theme for a Halloween gender reveal.
Whether you choose a balloon arch and fun backdrop, a black and white theme, or a colorful witch outfit, this creative slogan sets up the perfect surprise for your big news.
- @brunos_decor did such a great job with this colorful balloon arch and backdrop.
- We can’t get over this stunning photo from @ghoul_gio_us. You can find more pictures and videos for this black and white theme on her Instagram page or Pinterest.
- And how cute is this witch outfit from @love2lis10!
2. A Little “Boo” Is Almost Due
@layapaigea A little BOO is almost due! 👻🎀 #babyshower #alittlebooisalmostdue #halloweenbabyshower #htxballoons #babygirl #spookyseason #fyp #momtok #pregnancytiktok #diaperraffle #duenovember2022 #octoberbabyshower ♬ Spooky Ooky – NotYeti
This baby shower and gender reveal idea from @layapaigea couldn’t be more precious!
It’s the perfect Halloween theme for a little boo and the decorations are gorgeously ghostly!
3. Baby Boo or Ghoul
Consider using a spooky-cute backdrop for a gender reveal party or a gender reveal photoshoot.
We love the use of pastels in this idea from Cake Goodness because they’re so unexpected for the season.
The treats and décor set it over the top!
And the “Baby Boo or Ghoul” theme is bewitchingly cute.
4. Boo-y or Ghoul
And here’s a similar theme from @nickiohyea.
We love the use of a gender reveal balloon and pink confetti at this celebratory Halloween party.
And we can’t get over this couple’s happy faces!
5. Baby Boo #2
Ida Rose Events knocked it out of the park with this haunting party setup to celebrate this couple’s “Baby Boo #2”.
And Rachel May Photo did such a great job capturing these sweet moments.
If you’re having your second baby, consider using this clever theme, too!
6. Costumes and Cauldrons
Simmering cauldrons are a big hit this year, and they’re not just for witches!
They can easily go along with other fun Halloween costume ideas like the images above.
The effect is easier to create than you might think, using colored gender reveal smoke bombs. (You can find them on Amazon!)
- Get the details for Gabby’s gender reveal party, and don’t forget to watch the video of the big moment!
- How fun are these Flintstones costumes? Watch the video here!
- The Hocus Pocus Halloween gender reveal from @kayleerinerbrown, below, is sure to put a spell on you. These costumes were just too good not to share. If you love this Halloween classic, consider using it for your big reveal, too!
7. Confetti
Confetti is a popular gender reveal method for any occasion, but it’s extra fun to see it utilized for a Halloween surprise.
See the video of this spooktacular moment from @taymarhay!
She chose purple confetti for a girl or orange confetti if it were a boy.
8. Painted Pumpkins
This list of Halloween gender reveal ideas wouldn’t be complete without some ideas using pumpkins!
This idea from @marjorierdul is simple and sweet, and it’s the perfect way to announce the gender of your new little pumpkin.
Just snag a pumpkin from your favorite pumpkin patch and some paint, and you’re ready to share your good news!
9. Carved Pumpkins
Or, you can use your carving skills to create an adorable reveal for your baby pumpkin like this one from @basicwifelife.
This is such a fun way to reveal a baby’s gender and if you have other children, they can help create the pumpkin carvings.
We love the way this gender reveal is staged with all the other tiny pumpkins on the shelf.
10. Smoking Pumpkins
Similar to the simmering cauldrons, above, you can also use a smoke bomb to create super cool pumpkin gender reveals.
Whether the smoke spills from the eyes and mouth of a jack-o-lantern or simply rises from the top of an oversized pumpkin, these ideas pack a poltergeist-ing punch!
- We love this perfectly eerie smoking jack-o-lantern gender reveal that was photographed by @michelleelisephoto.
- Wednesday Adams is having a huge pop culture moment right now, but she’s always a Halloween icon. This spooky idea captured by @morgancaddellphoto, below, is a great way to incorporate siblings into a Halloween gender reveal. Or, you can make it a family affair by including mom and dad dressed as Morticia and Gomez.
Bonus Ideas
11. Balloons
How cute are these skeleton costumes in this gender reveal from @itsyesssi?
We love the use of blue and black balloons to announce the gender.
It’s the perfect idea for a photoshoot!
You can find affordable skeleton costumes online or you can make your own skeleton costume using paint or white duct tape!
12. He or She? What will our little pumpkin be?
For those who want a Halloween gender reveal that’s a little less spooky, this He or She pumpkin theme from Esi Events and Essentials is the perfect compromise!
Use Halloween-colored balloons with the traditional pink and blue mixed in to embellish a cute pumpkin backdrop.
This is also a great way to use any carved Jack-o-lanterns you may have put on your porch!
