A gender reveal is a way expectant parents learn and share the sex of their baby. This occasion varies from simple gatherings to elaborate parties, but it always centers around the joy of adding a new member to the family.

Is the Gender Reveal a New Thing?

The concept of a "gender reveal" is a relatively modern twist on the traditional baby shower, which has historically been a way for families to celebrate the impending arrival of a new baby.

The Pandemic Made Gender Reveals Even More Popular

At Villie, we saw the popularity of a gender reveal grow during the pandemic. Everyone was searching for more connection and reasons to celebrate. That’s where the idea of our own Gender Reveal Game came from, a virtual way to play and connect with your village. 

The Significance of Gender Reveals

While attitudes towards gender are changing, the gender reveal has retained its popularity. It's not about setting expectations or roles; it's about celebrating a key aspect of the new life you're welcoming. It’s an opportunity for parents to express their joy and for families to start bonding with the baby.
