Some may want to be surprised at birth, but others may want to make the reveal a fun party for all their friends and family, a gender reveal party.
A fun and unique gender reveal party theme idea would be a Twinkle Twinkle Little Star gender reveal party. Below are some of our favorite ideas for your Twinkle Twinkle Little Star gender reveal party. We have ideas for invitations, decor, food, activities to do with your guests, party favors to send your guests home with, and even ideas for the big reveal!
Twinkle Twinkle Little Star Gender Reveal Decorations
1. Stars, Moons, and Planets Cut-Outs
If you are on a budget for your gender reveal party, you can make some of your decorations. Go to your local craft store or convenience store and pick up some pink, blue, and gold sparkly paper. If you have a Cricut you can use this to cut out precise shapes. If not, simply trace out the shape you are wanting and cut it out! You can use these shapes as wall decorations, glue string to the backs and hang them from the ceiling if you’re indoors, or you can glue popsicle sticks to the back and use them as cake or cupcake toppers! If you have balloons, you can also tape them to those as well! These star, moon, and cloud cutouts are perfect options as well!
2. Balloons
Is it even a party without balloons? You can find some pink, blue, white, and gold balloons and tape them together to be a fun archway. Or if you want to give the illusion that you are under a sky, find some darker colored balloons like navy or black and tape them to the ceiling. Use the stars, moons, and planets cut out from earlier and tape them to the balloons.
There are fun kits you can purchase on Amazon to help you make a balloon garland archway! These are so cute and are super trendy! You can also purchase some balloons that come in the shape of stars and half-moons. These are so fun and will give you a variety of balloons at your party!
3. Streamers and Confetti
Party streamers are another must-have for any party! For this one though you can make it fun and use it to enhance your star-themed party. Find some streamers with stars on them and hang them from the ceiling, walls, tables, and chairs. You can also just utilize shimmery streamers in gold and silver colors and make them look like shooting stars or stardust. To add to your stardust, find some space-themed confetti and sprinkle it on the tables for a little extra detail.
4. String or Fairy Lights
String lights are so trendy and have so much versatility to them. Even after your gender reveal party, you can use them for easy decoration anywhere! You can use the string lights to help simply light up the room. Drape them across the tables to add a little something for extra detail.
If you want to give the look that you are under a beautiful sky, take some cotton, and lots of it, glue or tape it to balloons, and tape the balloons to the ceiling. Once that is done, buy battery-powered string lights then weave and secure them within the balloons and cotton. When they are turned on they will look like a beautiful lit-up sky! This perfect touch for your Twinkle Twinkle Little Star gender reveals party will have everyone talking afterward!
5. Party Decoration Sets

These are very useful and can save you from doing a whole lot of work when trying to decorate for your party. They come with all the necessities you may need and you can put them together however you see fit! You could always buy more than one party decoration set and mix and match them together.

Add some sprinkles and a cake topper of your choosing and you will have the perfect cake for a Twinkle Twinkle Little Star gender reveal.
