There are so many different and lovely ways to share your gender reveal news, but nothing beats gathering friends and family and revealing the gender by cracking into a piñata. There’s something so nostalgic about the process too, and it’s a great alternative if you want to get kids involved in the fun!
Plus, there are so many different types of piñatas to choose from so you can theme them perfectly to your gender reveal party. Here are 19 of my favorite ways to share the news!
19 Piñata Baby Gender Reveal Ideas
1.A Classic Question Mark
A pink and blue striped question marked piñata is a totally classic and timeless way to reveal the gender. If you’re leaning into the pink and blue theme anyway, this fits in perfectly with that.
Tie it to a tree outside for a beautiful reveal with your loved ones.
2. Crack Open The Present
Smash open a present to reveal the gender, after all, it’s one of the greatest gifts you can get!
This smaller sized piñata is much more suited to indoor use.
3. Blue & Pink Heart
If a question mark feels a little bit impersonal for your special celebration, opt for a heart piñata, with one half in pink and the other in blue.
4. Baby Bodysuit Piñata
I love this idea for a baby gender reveal theme, host it outside and all you’ll need to hand is a washing line. Hang up a baby bodysuit shaped piñata and peg tiny newborn clothing next to it.
It will make a super sweet and alternative reveal, but it will also be the perfect backdrop for photos or videos with your guests.
5. Have Fun With A Llama!
Mom or dad just have a thing about Llamas? How cute is this Llama shaped piñata?! (Similar available on Amazon).
Who said baby gender reveals have to be traditional, celebrate it with what you love most.
6. Quacking Way To Reveal The Gender!
Excuse the pun, but what a quacking way to reveal the gender, huh?!
If ducks are your kind of thing, share it and shout it to the rooftops with a duck shaped piñata.
7. The Sweetest Stork Piñata
Storks have such a sweet and symbolic nod to pregnancy and I think it’s one of the most adorable ways to reveal it with a piñata.
Instead of filling it with confetti, fill it with colored candies for a surprise that all your guests, big and small will love.
8. It’s A…?
The ‘it’s a..?’ is a classic play at a gender reveal to get your guests waiting in anticipation.
Get guests to guess when they arrive before revealing it by cracking open a piñata like the one shown in the image below.
9. Baby Bottle
How about a baby bottle piñata? If you’ve got a large gathering for the reveal, you might want to consider purchasing a much larger piñata so it’s easier for everyone to see the gender once it’s revealed.
10. Elephant Piñata
Baby elephants are another really sweet animal that we associate with newborns, and if it’s one of your favorite animals or a theme you’re leading with, you can’t do it without an elephant piñata!
11. What Will Baby Bee?
Bee themed gender reveals are super popular ways to celebrate in 2025 and beyond. I adore the little bee hive piñata, it’s such a different way to reveal the gender but is so appropriate for a fun gender reveal party.
12. Girl or Boy?
Another example of a classic girl or boy piñata with a pink and blue theme. The perfect size to reveal the gender either indoors or outdoors, whatever you plan for your gender reveal.
13. Multicolored Reveal
If you don’t like the traditional blue and white theme, go for something multicolored and more in line with what you like!
This fun piñata still has nods to a gender reveal, but with a gorgeously gold and glittering accent in there too.
14. Baby Stroller
How fun is this baby stroller piñata?! A great one for outdoors, and it’s super large so ideal for larger gender reveal gatherings.
15. Baby Rattle!
Or, what about a baby rattle piñata instead?
Add a question mark and bow detail to the piñata to finish off the look. The perfect prop for photos with guests before the reveal.
16. Fan of The Minions?
Of course, if you’re a big fan of something like the minions, you have that minion piñata for your baby gender reveal! It’s cute, a little bit quirky and super fun.
17. Stitch!
With the new Lilo & Stitch film, you may have a little Stitch fan in the house, in that case, don’t keep it for your kids birthday party, and do use one for your gender reveal instead.
18. Polka Dot Piñata
Shaped like a bee hive, I adore the pink and blue polka dots on this piñata with gold detail reading ‘boy or girl’, a beautiful piñata that would work with pretty much any theme you have in mind.
19. Teddy Bear Themed
If you’re hosting a teddy bear themed gender reveal, it’s just not going to be complete without a teddy bear shaped piñata!
Take inspiration from the below perfect styling with lots of neutrals and soft pinks and blues through the balloons they use.
Which of these piñata ideas is your favorite?
