I’m a first-time mommy so I definitely wanna celebrate and have a gender reveal however I know with the pandemic a large group gathering is not ideal so I wanted to hear suggestions on what other people have done. I don’t know if a drive by gender reveal would be too silly, but I would definitely love to hear ideas. Thanks in advance!

do it the old fashioned way - wait until after the baby is born.

A friend asked ppl to mail in (most people sent via Amazon) pampers for a boy, wipes for a girl. Then they did the reveal on a zoom call

Why don’t you go live? Send everyone an evite with the date & time you’re going to go on to make sure everyone joins. That’s the safest possible way.

You can bring your envelope in a baby store and pick out a boy outfit and a girl outfit have the cashier ring up and bag the one of what’s in the envelope (only given to them)
Open at home with your partner or do a Facebook live
You can also do a breakable chocolate heart give the envelope to the baker and they’ll fill the heart with the gender and you can break at home with your partner or do a live with family
At the time my town was allowing small gatherings, so I had my parents, sister & her bf, and in-laws over to my house. We got the gender reveal balloons and popped them over Zoom, where the rest of my family was watching from
Just do small one with a couple of the closest people/family. Then live stream it on fb so everyone else can watch 
I just had mine today, we had a handful of close family members present and had family and friends join us live on zoom. Worked out pretty well for us.

Have everyone go to a parking lot and stay in their cars. Do the firework gender reveal. Everyone will be able to see it from their cars
Or release balloons

I just found out, and told people who asked. But gender reveal parties weren’t even a thing when I had babies.

I did my baby shower during the pandemic. I just kept within the limits. I think 10 was the number of people indoors. And I ended up 1 or 2 over, but we’re all fine. Personally, there’s nothing wrong with a small group. We mostly hang out at home anyways, so we weren’t concerned about anything. And personally, scamdemic with a 97% survival rate? Nah. Not worth missing out on life. (And before people bash, I was pregnant when my stepson tested positive. He showed no symptoms and none of us contracted it, and we all live in a not so big apartment together, so 6 ft distance is impossible.)

Group call? No explosives.

Have a small gender reveal with the people closest to you! They can wear masks if it makes you more comfortable but a small group is fine.
Didn’t do one with either of our kids. 2017 they were big. We just took cute pics of us and posted the gender. This time around we aren’t telling on social media until baby is born. Same with the name. My dad doesn’t want to know so we’re keeping it under wraps. We’ve made it 10 weeks so far lol. 29 weeks tomorrow
Ok I know it may sound strange but hear me out… you find out the gender and then you TELL PEOPLE! Like call them or post to Facebook or send a text. Might just work

We did my sister’s baby shower on zoom.
My fiancé and I did it by ourselves and just set the video up on a stand. It was so nice being able to enjoy the moment alone and post the video later
We did a zoom call and lit lights behind her name! So it was dark the lit up pink to reveal the gender and her name

Outside party, set up tables 6ft apart. It’s easy when you have lots in one household so social distancing isn’t so harsh. Like my family of 6 at a table, my friends family if 4 at another. I mean we just recently did a wedding with 50 people in attendance everyone wore masks except the bride and groom.
I saw someone who ordered masks…blue and pink for people. Small group gathering outside. They picked the mask of their prediction. They handed out cupcakes. Everyone expected the inside to be the frosting color of the reveal. People were confused and so then the couple turned their masked inside out, when they put their basic black ones on it revealed the gender. It took a min for people to catch on but a close friend video taped it and peoples reactions were priceless!

You don’t find out the gender now, just the sex of the baby. Gender is not determined by anatomy. You are basically letting people know if your child has a vagina or a penis. Why that’s important, I don’t know. I understand being excited about having a baby and even having your own preconceived ideas of how your baby will express their gender, but please just no explosives!
My friend, husband, and daughter did a facebook live gender reveal. Just set and date and time you wanna do it, and people to watch

I did a video with smoke bombs and confetti poppers and posted it to social media. Easy and it was just me, my son and hubby there.
My friend had a virtual baby shower. Everyone left the gifts on the porch then went home a d watch her open stuff and they played games over live. Maybe do something like that?
Do a video and upload or go live
My cousin did a zoom meeting outdoors
Those aren’t going so well these days.
I had both of my kids pre-pandemic but we did gender reveal fireworks with my daughter. That could be an easy, socially distanced way to do it
My niece did a Facebook live reveal. She sent all of is the evite time and date, safe and everyone you want to be there are still involved.
How about pray this remains your biggest challenge in a PANDEMIC while people are suffering and dying and skip it or do it online. Don’t endanger people.

Could always do a live video on Facebook for the ones who can’t be there physically
We did a live stream and broke pink and blue boiled eggs over dads head the one that was not boiled was the gender.
Do a small gathering with your parents/his parents and maybe your Bestfriend and his, and just go live for everyone else to see.
