gender reveal party Archives

Gender reveal parties can make that moment even more special by getting friends and family in on the surprise in a festive setting.

There are no rules when it comes to gender reveals, so you can feel free to play around with different ways to announce the news, as well as different party games and themes. If you’re a sports fan, you can dunk, kick, or throw a ball filled with pink or blue powder to declare your baby’s sex. If you’re a Potterhead, let the infamous Sorting Hat make the big reveal. Or, if you’re not into the whole pink and blue color motif, consider a black and yellow “What Will It Bee?” theme. Even if you’re not up for throwing a party, you can still share the big news with friends and family in a fun, creative way by planning a gender reveal photoshoot.

This couldn’t be better planned. Dave Annable and his wife Odette Annable, co-stars of the now defunct hit ABC TV show Brothers & Sisters, used Mother’s Day to announce the fact they were expecting their first child together.

And today, on Father’s Day, the duo shared the baby’s gender on social media.

Odette stars in the recently debuted The Astronaut Wives Club.

Dave showed a quick video of the gender reveal beach celebration with the couple’s family and friends on Instagram today.

Before the reveal, which entailed popping a couple of black helium filled balloons filled with either blue or pink confetti, guests to the event signed their name under Team Girl or Team Boy on a chalkboard to indicate their guess of the gender.

Here it is…@odetteannable and I are very proud parents to be of our little…#happyfathersday to everyone. One of the most special moments of our life. I was so confused for a second. Thought I saw both colors of confetti. Nope. #babyannable

Dave, who recently starred in Red Band Society and is filming the upcoming NBC TV show Heartbreaker, looked genuinely surprised to learn that he will soon welcome a baby GIRL!

“One of the most special moments of our life,” the actor wrote in the caption, adding, “I was so confused for a second. Thought I saw both colors of confetti. Nope. #babyannable.”

He almost ruined the surprise too, captioning a photo before the reveal: “Almost popped the damn thing getting it out of the car. Try to explain that to a pregnant Cuban.”

Funny! Although born in Los Angeles, Odette’s mom is Cuban and her dad is of Italian and French descent, but was born in Bogotá, Colombia, and raised in Nicaragua. Tres Internationale!

The couple married in 2010!

That’s going to be a gorgeous little girl, for sure!

Congrats!
