Elf Decorations

Having a backdrop is the perfect way to set the tone. It can go behind a dessert or food table. You could also use it as a scene setter for taking pictures. But don’t forget about balloons, banners and centerpieces. Be sure to incorporate Christmas lights, snow flakes, candy, and even miniature Christmas trees.

What the Elf Gender Reveal Shirts

If you’re having a gender reveal, you might as well go all out! The mommy and daddy to be, along with those closest to them, could all wear matching What the Elf shirts. These can be found on Etsy or right on Amazon.

Games

While games for guests are typically reserved for baby showers, that doesn’t mean you can’t have fun. Make sure you have a voting board to get everyone’s guesses before the big reveal.

Also, because it’s the holidays, you can incorporate some cool minute-to-win it type games with the teams divided based off being team boy and team girl.

Food, Drinks & Sweets

Gender reveals are usually pretty laid back, so a complete spread of food isn’t necessary. But, if you’re planning a gender reveal at night, as opposed to the morning or afternoon, then don’t let your guests go home hungry. As for sweets, a cake is expected, and can be used to incorporate the reveal. I also think cute gingerbread cookies and Hershey kisses would fit the event.

For drinks, having a hot cocoa bar would definitely make it festive. Consider grabbing a hot beverage dispenser to keep the milk hot and small containers to hold the cocoa powder, chocolate shavings, peppermints, and other array of toppings!

What the Elf Gender Reveal Favors

Finally, don’t let your guest leave empty handed. While it’s not required to have favors at a gender reveal, it is a sweet gesture. It could be as small as a jar of peppermints or a bag of Hershey kisses. You could even use chip bags like these as to-go bags to stuff candy and cookies inside. If you don’t know how to assemble chip bags, check this post out.
