If you are planning a gender reveal party, you’ll need a gender reveal theme that doesn’t give the baby’s gender away before it even begins. A perfect gender-neutral theme for your party is a jungle theme! We’ve compiled a list of ideas for your jungle theme gender reveal party for you and your guests to enjoy.
You can also find so many gender reveal party ideas that would go great with whichever theme you choose to do.
Jungle Theme Gender Reveal Party Decorations
1. Balloon Arch
No party is complete without balloons. Baby shower jungle balloons are a necessity for your party.
2. Jungle Canopy
Make a faux jungle canopy of branches and leaves by using streamers. Overlap green, tan, and yellow streamers across the ceiling to create the canopy. In addition to the ceiling, cover the walls with long, dangling strands of the green streamers to create vines by twisting and securing them with tape.
3. Jungle Animals
A jungle theme gender reveal party needs jungle animals! Purchase large animal cut-outs, stuffed animals, or inflatable animals to place around the party venue.
4. Jungle Banner
Enhance the theme with customizable jungle banners that display gender-neutral sayings such as "Oh Baby!” and “Boy or Girl?” Don’t forget to include some sayings like, “We can’t wait to meet you Baby <insert your last name here>!”
5. Surrounded By Green
Turn your venue into a jungle by covering portions of the walls in dark green paper or greenery garland, and add trees and flowers that you would find in the jungle on them. Set up large potted plants and palms around the party area. Contact your local florist to see these and other plant options.

7. Personalized Cups
Send your guests home with some personalized cups! Customize these cups by putting messages on them, like the date of the party, “Baby <insert your last name here>”, “Gender Reveal Party”, “Boy or Girl?” or any other messages you wish. Stick with your jungle theme by ordering cups that are green and are decorated with jungle animals. Fill these cups with bakery treats or other wrapped sweets.

Jungle Theme Gender Reveal Party Food Ideas
11. Jungle Cake
You can't forget about the cake! Order a customized jungle-themed cake from your local bakery, or create your own. Decorate the top to look like a jungle with some cute animals as a cake topper. The green frosting is perfect for achieving the greenery, blue frosting makes great watering holes, and chocolate sauce makes the perfect mud puddles.
12. Jungle Juice
Beverages are a party necessity. "Jungle juice" doesn’t come straight from the jungle, but it is a delicious blend of various juices or fruit punches. It can be a wonderful option for your jungle-themed party. If you’d like to make the beverages alcoholic, you can add a splash of rum to the mix of juices. In addition, also provide water with lemon, lime, and orange garnishes as another beverage option.
13. Jungle Snacks
Supply a variety of foods that look like they could have come right from the jungle (in a clean, delicious way). These can include a vegetable platter, animal crackers, dried fruit, animal fruit snacks, gummy worms, and a variety of nuts. A variety of cut-up tropical fruit, such as coconut, kiwi, papaya, pineapple, and mango are also great options to serve.
14. Cheese and Crackers
Use animal-shaped cookie cutters to cut out pieces of cheese and deli meat for a festive panache, and serve them with a variety of crackers. This is a very simple snack that your guests will certainly love.
15. Banana Chips
Banana chips are a sweet and crunchy snack your guests will love. Buy at your local grocery store, or make your own following a fun recipe and serve.
16. Savage Sandwiches
Make a zebra sandwich by alternating two slices of bread, using white and dark bread. Stuff the sandwiches with any deli meat, vegetables, and condiments you desire.
Jungle Theme Gender Reveal Party Games
17. Tally Your Votes
A simple, fun activity for your guests is guessing the baby's gender of course! For this voting idea, write a boy and girl column on a blackboard or dry-erase board. To stick with your jungle theme, draw animal footprints, leaves, and branches on the board. One by one, each guest walks up to the board and puts a tally underneath their guess for the baby's gender.
18. Cast Your Vote
Place a gender reveal voting ballot at each guest’s seat. Once the guests mark their votes, have them put the ballots in a jungle decorated cardboard box with a slit in it at each table. Collect the ballot boxes and tally the votes before the gender is revealed.
19. Piñata Fun
It's time to reveal the gender of the baby! Pick out a jungle piñata, then have your "trusted person" fill it with blue confetti or pink confetti. For some sweet treats instead, fill it with blue or pink-wrapped candy. Have guests come up one at a time and give the piñata a wack. Give disposable gloves for guests to use when hitting the piñata with the bat.
20. Balloon Reveal
Fill one of your jungle-themed or gender reveals balloons with blue or pink confetti. Make sure the balloon is opaque and not transparent so that no one can see the colored confetti inside the balloon. Cue the countdown and it's time to pop the balloon!
21. Cake Reveal
If the reveal is a surprise for the expectant parents, have someone they trust to be in charge of the baby's gender in charge of this activity, and order the cake. Tell them your ideas for the cake and have them tell your local bakery your requests.
22. Guess How Many
The guessing never ends at a gender reveal party. Purchase an oversized baby bottle and fill it with Skittles, M&M’s, or other small candies. Use the colors blue and pink to keep it gender-neutral, or green and yellow to match the jungle theme. Count out the exact number of candies you put in the baby bottle and keep this number secret. Have your guests walk up to the table and write down their guess of how many are in the bottle. Collect all answers and the closest guess wins the bottle!
Jungle Theme Gender Reveal Party Supplies
23. Centerpiece
To add an extra touch to your tables, add jungle theme centerpieces.
24. Tablecloths
Cover any tables with a jungle theme, green, or jungle baby shower plastic tablecloths.
25. Plates
Be sure to avoid any items that solely have “boy” or “girl” written on them, unless you wish to mix and match. You could allow the guests to pick a plate that says “boy” or “girl” depending on what they believe the baby's gender will be.
26. Cups
Don’t forget to match your plates to your cups!
27. Silverware
Green and gold silverware are the perfect colors to match your jungle theme gender reveal party.

Jungle Theme Gender Reveal Party Invitations
29. Jungle Leaf
Create your own jungle leaf invitations. Purchase green construction paper and cut the paper in the shape of a large palm leaf. Write your party details on one side, and use a glue stick and dust the other side with green glitter for a dazzling touch.
30. Animal Print
Here's another DIY idea to create your own animal print invitations. Start with a piece of folded-in-half-yellow construction paper. On the front, create giraffe spots by sketching large, irregular circles with a brown pencil or crayon. Make one of the circles large enough so that you can write "Join Us…" in it. On the inside, finish the sentence by writing “...for a gender reveal party in the jungle!” Don’t forget to include other party details inside as well and feel free to be creative and switch up what animal print you use for these invites.
31. Footprints
This baby will be sure to leave footprints wherever they go.
32. Pink or Blue
What will the baby be? Keep the guessing games going by encouraging guests to wear outfits of their predictions.

"Oh Baby!" a little one is on the way!
