10 Sweet Easter Gender Reveal Ideas (2025)

Looking for Easter gender reveal ideas to celebrate your big announcement in style? Then you’ve come to the right place!

Let’s start by explaining why an Easter-themed gender reveal makes sense. Easter has long had associations with fertility, dating all the way back to the Middle Ages. 

Carole Levin, Professor of History and Director of the Medieval and Renaissance Studies Program at the University of Nebraska, explains this connection: “Many scholars believe that Easter had its origins as an early Anglo-Saxon festival that celebrated the goddess Eastre, and the coming of spring, in a sense a resurrection of nature after winter. Some Christian missionaries hoped that celebrating Christian holy days at the same times as pagan festivals would encourage conversion, especially if some of the symbols carried over. Eggs were part of the celebration of Eastre. Apparently eggs were eaten at the festival and also possibly buried in the ground to encourage fertility.”

These deep-rooted cultural associations make a gender reveal party—which focuses on celebrating and welcoming the addition of a new life to your family—a perfect fit for the Easter season! (Plus, the pinks and blues of a gender reveal are a perfect fit for the pastels of Easter.)

Our sweet Easter gender reveal ideas combine the holiday with your gender announcement, making it a moment to remember. With these ideas, you’re sure to make this year’s holiday incredibly special.

DIY and budget-friendly Easter gender reveal ideas

If you’re looking to celebrate without breaking the bank, these ideas are creative, affordable, and easy to set up yourself.

1. Easter gender reveal photoshoot

A gender reveal photoshoot is a beautiful way to announce the gender of your little one to your friends and family. You can do the photoshoot yourself if you’re on a budget—no need to hire a photographer unless it’s what you’d prefer. No matter how you plan to capture the reveal, finding the perfect place for your photoshoot is key. So, visit Peerspace to find photoshoot locations near you.

2. Easter egg painting gender reveal

Incorporate tradition as part of your Easter gender reveal ideas! For example, if your family always decorates eggs on Easter, how about decorating your egg in an all-pink or all-blue theme? Then as the final touch, you can write “it’s a boy” or “it’s a girl” to announce your pregnancy to your family!

3. Basketball gender reveal 

It’s not just Easter, it’s also college basketball season! Celebrate your gender reveal on the court at a private, pristine basketball court! A space as expansive as a basketball court offers tons of fun opportunities for a reveal.

For example, you could buy a basketball that, as soon as it’s dunked and hits the ground, explodes into pink or blue! Just make sure you approve the possible mess with the Peerspace host and have a solid plan for clean-up.

5. Homemade Easter brunch reveal

If you enjoy cooking, host your family for a delicious Easter brunch without telling them it’s also a gender reveal event! Serve some of these amazing Easter brunch recipes courtesy of Martha Stewart—including egg casserole, quiche, French toast, and scones—and let your family enjoy the beautiful meal.

When it’s time for dessert, give your guests the surprise of a lifetime. Decorate a cake or dessert of your choosing with frosting letters that reads “It’s a girl!” or “It’s a boy!” and then bring it out to surprise your loved ones.

6. Easter candy jar gender reveal

A simple and colorful Easter gender reveal idea is to fill a clear jar or large vase with candy in your gender color—pink or blue—mixed with pastel Easter candies for decoration. Keep the lid on until the reveal, then have everyone lift the jar or remove the lid at the same time to see the candy inside. This makes for a visually fun, sweet, and easy-to-set-up Easter-themed gender reveal that works well for kids and adults alike.

Get the adults involved in the Easter egg hunt! Fill one egg with a secret slip of paper revealing your baby’s gender. This is a fun way to get everyone involved in the Easter tradition, as well as a unique way to announce your little one’s gender!

8. Colorful piñata gender reveal

Take a swing at guessing the baby’s gender with an Easter-themed pinata! When the pinata finally breaks, blue or pink candy, confetti, and goodies can come flying out, making the big reveal into an especially exciting surprise.

9. Paint party gender reveal

You could rent an art studio and hire an artist to lead you and your loved ones in a paint party. Let the artist you hire in on your secret. They may be able to come up with a fun idea that your family can paint, and then everyone’s finished product will make it obvious it’s a gender reveal announcement!

10. Bunny hop gender reveal

Let the Easter bunny bring news of your little one’s gender! Rent a barn or farm venue on Peerspace that comes with some adorable bunny rabbits. Ask the host if it would be okay to put a collar on a bunny that says “It’s a boy” or “It’s a girl,” and then when you’re ready for the big reveal—bring the bunny out to make the announcement! It’ll be adorable, unexpected, and totally on theme.

Finding the right Easter gender reveal ideas for you

Announcing your baby’s gender around Easter adds a festive and meaningful twist to your announcement. You want to choose ideas that feel authentic for your personality and the type of experience you’re hoping to create for yourself and your guests, while also embracing the spirit of the holiday.

Consider these factors as you plan your Easter gender reveal:

• Location: Will your reveal take place indoors or outdoors? A backyard, park, indoor venue, or even your dining room can influence the types of Easter-themed ideas you use (from egg hunts to bunny-inspired decorations).
• Theme and decorations: Do you plan to incorporate Easter colors, pastels, and symbols (like eggs, bunnies, and chicks)? The Easter theme doesn’t always have to be quite that literal—it’s up to you.
• Food and treats: Easter provides the perfect opportunity for food-based reveals like pastel cupcakes and other themed desserts that hide the big reveal inside.
• Guest experience: You can actively engage your loved ones with interactive reveals like an Easter egg hunt, a paint party, or a playful piñata.
