Should you decide to share the big exciting news with your loved ones - have fun, but also be safe!
1) Bye Bye Balloon: This couple decided to use a balloon to reveal the gender. However, this balloon just didn’t want to pop and then flew away! Now the baby’s gender really is up in the air.
2) Missing Confetti: Imagine popping the balloon only to find.. nothing! Guess this couple still has to wait to find out their baby’s gender.
3) Pineapple Baby: Well, looks like this couple will be having a pineapple! Seems there was a mix-up with the balloon orders…
4) Cat Reveal: Looks like the cat ended up popping the balloon early ruining the surprise before all the guests came over!

7) Carrie Underwood announcement: A Carrie Underwood fan asked Carrie Underwood to reveal the gender of the baby from opening an envelope at one of her concerts. She announced that the fan would be expecting a girl, only to find out the next day that the nurse misread her chart and the soon-to-be mom is actually expecting a baby boy. Oops!
8) Gender Reveal Fire: At a gender reveal party outside of Los Angeles, California, a pyrotechnic device when ignited, combined with the over 100 degree weather, was enough for the fire to turn into a massive wildfire. The wildfire spread to roughly 23,000 acres while also destroying 5 homes and 15 other buildings.
9) Another Fire: In Arizona, a border patrol agent who was off duty set up a target, shot the target with a rifle which exploded into blue smoke, then set off another massive wildfire that spread over 45,000 acres of land. He was then charged 8 million dollars for the damages.
10) Grandpa’s Face covered in blue: Missing the ball altogether, the gender reveal baseball exploded on the soon-to-be born baby’s grandpa’s face, covering his face in blue powder.
