Ideas to Involve Siblings in Your Fall Gender Reveal

Big brothers and sisters-to-be deserve a starring role in your gender reveal! Fall offers endless ways to make the big moment extra special for your kiddos, from smashing pumpkins to painting masterpieces. These creative, hands-on ideas will keep them excited, entertained, and feeling like an important part of the celebration. 🎃👧👦

Pumpkin Patch Smash


Take a trip to a pumpkin patch and let your siblings pick out their favorite pumpkin. Unbeknownst to them, one of the pumpkins is filled with pink or blue powder. When it’s time for the reveal, gather the family and let the kids smash the pumpkin to discover if they’re getting a baby brother or sister.

Leafy Scavenger Hunt


Turn your backyard into a fall-themed adventure with a scavenger hunt just for the kids. Hide clues under colorful leaves or mini pumpkins, leading to the final surprise. At the last stop, have pink or blue balloons or confetti waiting to reveal the baby’s gender.

Autumn Leaf Artistry

Siblings can get creative with a hands-on leaf art activity. Provide them with painted leaves and let them arrange the pieces to form a message like “It’s a Girl!” or “It’s a Boy!” It’s a fun way to make them part of the big moment while creating a keepsake for your family.

Sibling Pumpkin Paint Party

Set up a pumpkin painting station where siblings can decorate their pumpkins with their gender guesses. Once they’ve finished, bring out a reveal pumpkin painted pink or blue for the big surprise. Bonus: This makes for adorable photos!

S’more Love Reveal

Who can resist s’mores? Set up a fall-inspired s’mores station, but with a twist: hide pink or blue chocolate inside marshmallows. When it’s time to roast, the melted chocolate will reveal the baby’s gender in the most delicious way possible.

Ideas to Include Pets in Your Fall Gender Reveal

Your pets bring love, chaos, and plenty of laughs to your life—so of course, they should be part of your gender reveal! From fetching tennis balls with a surprise message to rocking tiny fall-themed costumes, these ideas will have your furry besties stealing the show. Let’s make your reveal paws-itively unforgettable! 🐶🍁

Paw Print Canvas


Let your furry friend get in on the fun with some pet-friendly paint! Use non-toxic, washable paint in pink or blue and have your pet create paw prints on a canvas or card. The result is a one-of-a-kind reveal that doubles as a sweet keepsake for the nursery.

Fetch the Gender

Write “It’s a Boy!” or “It’s a Girl!” on a ball or toy, and have your dog fetch it during the big reveal. This playful moment is perfect for pet-loving families and is sure to bring plenty of smiles.

Pet Costume Reveal

Dress your pet in a gender-themed outfit, like a pink tutu or a blue bowtie, and let them make their grand entrance at the reveal. The adorable photos will be worth it!

Woodland Scavenger Hunt

Let your pet lead the way on a mini scavenger hunt. Set up clues or gender-themed hints along a trail, with the final stop revealing the big news. This is a great way to involve both siblings and pets in a fun activity.

Sibling-Pet Team Effort

Pair your pet with your siblings for a coordinated reveal. Dress the kids in “Big Brother” or “Big Sister” shirts and your pet in a matching bandana. They can unveil a banner or pose with a pumpkin announcing the baby’s gender for a heartwarming photo op.

Photo Op Ideas: Picture-Perfect Fall Reveals

Fall is basically a photographer’s dream—golden leaves, glowing sunsets, and cozy vibes everywhere. So why not take advantage of the season’s natural charm to create stunning photo ops for your gender reveal? From adorable family setups to creative sibling-and-pet poses, these ideas will give you Insta-worthy moments you’ll treasure forever. 📸🍂

Family Feet & Baby Booties

Line up the whole family’s feet—including your pet’s paws—alongside a pair of tiny newborn booties. Scatter some colorful leaves or place a mini pumpkin nearby for an autumnal touch.

Cozy Hay Bale Scene

Create a fall-inspired setup with hay bales, blankets, and pumpkins. Position siblings and pets together holding a sign that announces the gender for a picture-perfect memory.

Pumpkin Stack Reveal

Stack painted pumpkins with phrases like “It’s a…” on the top and “Boy/Girl” on the bottom. Let the kids and pets pose next to the stack for an adorable reveal photo.

Leaf Pile Fun

Snap a candid shot of siblings and pets jumping into a pile of leaves filled with pink or blue confetti or balloons. The action and excitement will create a truly joyful photo.

Rustic Sign & Lanterns

Use a rustic wooden sign with the gender announcement, surrounded by glowing pink or blue lanterns. Capture siblings and pets sitting nearby for a magical evening photo.
