Are you ready to reveal if it’s a boy or girl? Yes! Now that your Gender Reveal Game is set up, it’s time to take it to the next level. A well-executed game does more than just announce your baby’s gender—it builds anticipation, keeps friends and family engaged, and drives support for your journey into parenthood.
Here’s how to make your Villie Page shine and turn your Gender Reveal Game into a smashing success!
Get Your Villie Page Ready
Your Villie Page is more than just a game—it’s your hub for sharing updates, connecting with loved ones, and receiving support. Here’s how to personalize it:
- Set Your Theme: Choose colors and designs that reflect your style or party theme.
- Add a Welcome Photo: Pick a fun or heartfelt picture to greet visitors—it’s your first impression!
- Write a Welcome Message: Say hi in your own words and let your guests know how excited you are to share this journey with them.
Pro Tip: A polished and personal page encourages guests to stick around, vote, and even explore your registries or funds.
Make It Easy for Guests to Support You
Your Gender Reveal Game isn’t just about fun; it’s also an opportunity to get the support you need. Here’s how to ensure your page works for you:
- Add a Fund: Create a fund for things you might need, like a "Diaper Fund," "Postpartum Care Fund," or "Baby’s Education Fund." Guests can donate directly through your page.
- Link Your Registries: Combine all your registries into one spot so your guests can shop with ease.
- Explore Villie Must-Haves: Highlight sponsored items or brands on your page. Guests can send you gift cards to cover these essential purchases without the awkwardness of asking directly.
Get Your Village to Follow Your Page
Streamline communication by encouraging friends and family to follow your Villie Page for updates:
- Enable Notifications: Guests who follow your page can get automatic updates on milestones, new posts, and game progress.

Boost Participation with a Prize
A great prize can drive game engagement and increase donations if you’re using the fundraising feature. Here are some fun ideas:
- Split the Pot: Let participants play for free or donate with their guess, and the winner takes half the pot while the other half supports your baby.
- Gift Cards: Always a crowd-pleaser, gift cards offer flexibility and are easy to send.
- Exclusive Perks: Give the winner an exclusive sneak peek at your baby name shortlist or a fun honorary title, like "Baby Name Consultant."
