This blog is all about how to raise money with your Gender Reveal Game so when setting up your game be sure to say YES you want to raise money with your Gender Reveal Game

Name Your Game

Choose fun names like “Pink or Blue: What will Baby Be?” or “Baby [Last Name] Gender Guessing Game” to make it more engaging!

Set a Game End Date

Choose when you want your game to end. On this day at x time, the game will non longer accept votes.

We recommend you keep your game live for at least a week so you have time to tell people about it!

Encourage participation by offering a unique prize for the randomly selected winner. Some popular prize ideas include:

• A gift card
• A baby-themed gift basket
• The chance to be the first to know the baby’s name or help choose the middle name
• That winning feeling

The more enticing the prize, the more guesses you’ll receive!

‍Do all votes (paid and unpaid) have the chance to win?

Yes! Every guess, whether it’s a paid vote or not, has the chance to win. All correct guesses are entered into the pool, and the winner is randomly selected.

‍Why is Kim giving me the first vote? Who is she?

Kim is the founder of Villie, and she gives the first vote to show you how the game works and get things started. She’s dedicated to making sure your baby page and gender reveal game are a success!

Step 2: Share Your Game Link 

Once your game is ready, simply share the link with your village. Whether it’s through text, social media, or email, spreading the word about your game is KEY to getting guesses and contributions. Friends and family from around the world can easily join in by guessing the baby’s gender and contributing to your cash fund—all in one place!

• Pro Tip: Share your link on social media platforms like Instagram and Facebook and add it to your baby shower invitations.

Who gets to play?

Anyone can play as many times as they want to - they just need the link.

Promote Your Game Regularly

Consistency is key! Share your GRG link multiple times leading up to the reveal date. Don’t be afraid to send gentle reminders to friends and family who haven’t participated yet.

Promotion Ideas:

• Share your game link on Instagram or Facebook.
• Include it in baby shower invites or e-vites.
• Send reminder texts or emails to your closest family and friends.
• Add a QR code with the link at your gender reveal party for in-person guests to participate.
