Create a cosy, woodland atmosphere that feels straight out of Hundred Acre Wood and is perfect for relaxing, daydreaming and perhaps even a spontaneous nap.

Embrace the woodland aesthetic

Think rustic and natural, with plenty of warm wood accents, neutral tones and greenery. Seek out spaces surrounded by trees or with outdoor access to bring the forest to life.

Prioritise comfort

Your guests (and mum-to-be!) will appreciate comfy spots to relax. Choose a venue with:

  • Soft sofas or armchairs
  • Hammocks or swings
  • Floor cushions or pouffes for a casual, picnic-style feel

Budget-friendly options

You don’t need to spend a fortune to create a Hundred Acre Wood atmosphere. Try:

  • Your own garden, styled with hessian table runners and wildflowers
  • A local park with shaded picnic areas
  • A cosy living room transformed with honey pots and whimsical décor

Pro tip: Explore gender reveal venues on Peerspace to discover treehouses, tea-room-like spaces, and book-lined hideaways perfect for a Winnie the Pooh-themed event.


Winnie the Pooh gender reveal décor ideas

Think whimsical woods, soft colours, and comfy lounging spots.

Psychologist and party-planner Dr Daniel Glazer advises: “When planning décor, consider a palette blending several soft tones rather than traditional blue and pink.”

  • Keep it cosy: Add hammocks and comfy camp cushions outdoors; decorate living rooms with blankets and pillows.
  • Keep it lit: Use flameless candles, fairy lights and LED lanterns in jars for extra ambience.
  • Keep it colourful: Incorporate balloons and streamers in gentle pastel shades, honey yellow, red and earth tones.

Key elements:

  • Handwritten signs (“Rabbit’s Garden,” “Pooh’s House”)
  • Honey pots
  • Vintage storybooks
  • Woodland cuddly toys
  • Fresh foliage
  • Teapots

Pro tip: Use natural materials like jute, wood, and twine for a warm, rustic touch.

Sweet treats and drinks with a playful twist

Of course, honey should be the star of any Winnie the Pooh gender reveal. But there are plenty of opportunities to include tasty, playful treats as well.

Savoury snacks

  • Miniature tea sandwiches
  • Honey-glazed chicken wings
  • “Rabbit’s Garden” veggie platter with honey-mustard dip

Sweet treats

  • Honey biscuits shaped like honey pots and bees
  • Tigger tails — pretzels dipped in chocolate and drizzled with honey
  • Whimsical homemade beehive cake decorated with honeycomb and cute woodland characters

Delightful drinks

  • Pooh’s Punch — iced herbal tea with honey and lemon
  • Eeyore’s Elixir — blueberry lemonade
  • Roo’s root beer floats

Pro tip: To keep costs down, invite each guest to contribute a small dish like cookies, veggie platters or drinks.
