Pińata Smash

Fill a piñata of your choice with color powder (and candy if you want!). Encourage guests to participate and take a hit at the piñata to reveal the gender. When someone finally takes the lucky hit, a burst of pink or blue will come raining down.

Photoshoot

Whether you’re doing a private gender reveal with your significant other, or having a party – taking photos is a must! Color powder just adds the “wow” factor to photos. There are so many creative ways to take photos with color powder. We recommend wearing white or a light color so the color powder really stands out in photos. 

Home Run

Have a baseball fan in the family? Fill an empty plastic Christmas ornament with color powder and have the mom-to-be or dad-to-be take a home run swing at the “baseball” to reveal the baby’s gender.

Gender Reveal Box

You’ve probably seen the gender reveals where the couple opens up a box filled with pink or blue helium-filled balloons. To add a color powder spin, simply fill a cardboard box with pink or blue color powder. Close it shut and attach a long string or way to pull open the box. Hang it upside down from a tree outside and on the count of three, pull open the box! The color powder will fall down on whomever is standing underneath and make for awesome photos. 

Vehicle Rev

Maybe the dad-to-be is passionate about cars. If so, you can place pink or blue color powder in a vehicle’s exhaust. Have everyone gather around and on the count of three rev the engine! The color powder will pour out of the exhaust and make for an exciting and unique gender reveal.

  1. How do you think a guitar smash gender reveal should go? How do I use the powder and how should I put it together?

    1. Hi Tori! I think that sounds amazing! If you are talking acoustic guitar, I would recommend purchasing 3-5 lbs of color powder and then putting it inside 1 or more paper lunch bags. From there roll down the bag to tighten and seal the color powder into the bag(s). Then tape the bags to the interior walls of the guitar. The paper bags will bust open upon smashing the guitar.

      If you are thinking electric, that might be a little trickier. You could drill holes into the body from the edges, fill them up with color powder, then seal the holes off with tape… Not sure how well it would work.

      Keep us posted if you give this a shot!

  2. Will your powder, or does your powder become combustible dust? Thinking of mortar fireworks and having powder in the cylinder.. my worry is that if it is considered combustible dust, the firework may ignite the dust which wouldn’t be good? Your mentioned Tanerite in your article. Please let me know before I experiment. Thanks

    1. We carry red powder that you can find here. I believe 2lbs – 20lbs is a good amount to use with tannerite (20lbs is a lot!). Unfortunately, we do not carry black color powder at this time. Good luck with the reveal! We would love see the results! Please share photos or videos with us on Facebook or Instagram
