Gender Reveal Set: The 3 Print Pieces That Work Together
A gender reveal is one loud moment that everybody photographs, and the print around it decides what those photos look like forever. Three pieces carry the whole day: the card that gets people into the yard, the banner they end up standing in front of, and the keepsake that goes home with the people who mattered most.
The gender reveal set is three printed pieces that work as one event: gender reveal cards for the invitation and the mailed announcement, a two sided blockout banner that becomes the photo backdrop in the yard, and a wine bottle shaped gift set for the grandparents and the person who kept the secret. Designed together, they share one palette. Watch the gender reveal cards video overview to see the card up close.
The picks
Cards, a banner and a wine gift set, from $16.48 for 50 cards
Start here. The cards come in ten sizes from 2.5 by 2.5 in to 5.5 by 8.5 in, the banner prints on 15oz blackout vinyl from 2 by 3 ft at $108.75, and the 3.25 by 13 in wine gift set is $15 each. Order the banner first and everything is ready with time to spare.
Design and print help
One palette from the card stock to the banner vinyl
The set only works if the card, the banner and the keepsake look like they came from the same afternoon. Pick the two colors in the online designer and hold the gloss and matte card samples, since pink and blue read differently on each, before the same file goes to a 5 by 7 in card and a 3 by 6 ft banner.
How they work together
Print in the order the day unfolds
Each piece owns a different stretch of the calendar, from the mailed invitation three weeks out to the keepsake pressed into a guest hand on the way to the car. Order them in that sequence.
Mail the card early enough that people can move a Saturday. Put the date, the address, the dress code and the guess on it, and nobody has to text you for details.
Hang the banner before guests arrive so the light is right and the vinyl has time to pull taut. Every photo taken after that has your announcement in frame.
The keepsake goes to the grandparents, the secret keeper and anyone who drove. It carries the date home and lands on a shelf instead of in the recycling.
1. Gender reveal cards: the invitation and the announcement in one stock
The card does two jobs on two different days. Weeks out it is the invitation that tells people when to show up, what to wear if you are running a pink and blue dress code, and whether they should arrive with a guess. On the day itself the same stock carries the announcement you mail to the relatives who could not make the drive. Our guide on how to make announcement cards that get read and kept covers the wording for that second mailing.
Give the card a palette before you give it a design. Pick two colors and hold them across all three pieces, the same discipline behind choosing your colors, then let clean confident type do the talking the way typographic cards do when the message is only a few words long.
One card is a note. A full mailed run, sent early, is the difference between a handful of guests and a driveway with nowhere left to park.
2. Wine bottle shaped gift set: the keepsake guests carry home
This is the piece people take with them. The bottle shape reads as a gift before anyone opens it, which makes it the natural thank you for the grandparents, for the friend who held a sealed envelope for two weeks without cracking, and for whoever handled the confetti cannon. Print the reveal date on it and it stops being party decor and becomes a keepsake.
It also does quiet promotional work for the day itself. Anything you place in a guest hand at an event is a small print campaign, the same thinking behind promotional materials for events, and a shaped piece survives the ride home in a car door pocket when a flat card does not.
Order a few more than your guest count. Someone always brings a plus one, and the extras make a clean favor for the first birthday party a year from now.
3. Two sided blockout banners: the backdrop in every single photo
Every photo from the reveal has a background, and the only question is whether you picked it. Skip the banner and the background is a fence, a garage door or the neighbor truck. Blockout vinyl carries a separate print on each face with an opaque core between them, so a banner strung across an open yard reads correctly from both sides instead of showing a ghost of the artwork behind it.
That two sided build earns its price the moment guests start circling the setup. Put the announcement on the face aimed at the camera and the family name on the face aimed at the street, and if you want the host crew in one look underneath it, custom shirts can carry the same design.
Hang it the morning of, not twenty minutes before. Grommets, zip ties and a tight line take ten minutes and keep sagging vinyl out of the one photo everyone frames.

Wally explains the set
Three pieces, one palette, printed to photograph well
Wally thinks of a reveal party the way a photographer does. Something has to bring people to the yard, something has to sit behind them when the confetti goes up, and something has to leave with them. That is the card, the banner and the keepsake gift set. Print all three from the same two colors and the same typeface, and a backyard afternoon comes back looking styled instead of assembled.

Common Questions
Common questions about the gender reveal set
What is the gender reveal set?
It is a curated three piece print set for a single reveal party. Gender reveal cards handle the invitation and the announcement you hand to family. A two sided blockout banner becomes the photo backdrop that every camera in the yard points at. A wine bottle shaped gift set is the keepsake guests take home. Built from one design, the three share one palette and one typeface.
In what order should I order and use these pieces?
Follow the calendar. Cards go first because mailed invitations need three weeks of runway to protect your headcount. The banner is next, ordered with enough lead time to arrive a few days early so you can hang it and check how it reads in daylight. The gift sets come last and simply need to be stacked by the door before the first guest walks in.
Do I really need a banner for a backyard reveal?
You need a background, and you already have one whether you choose it or not. Without a banner the background is a fence, a garage door or a parked car, and that is what shows up in every photo and every clip that gets shared. A banner replaces that with your names and the announcement, which is why it is the piece people regret skipping once the pictures come back.
How do I keep all three pieces looking like one event?
Repeat three things everywhere. First, exactly two colors, chosen before you touch a layout, used in the same proportion on all three pieces. Second, one typeface for headlines and one for the small details, never a third. Third, one short phrase, whether that is a hashtag, a last name or a single line of copy, printed on the card, the banner and the gift set so a guest sees the same words three times.
Why is a wine bottle shaped gift set part of a reveal kit?
Because someone kept the secret, someone hosted, and two people are about to become grandparents, and a flat thank you card does not carry that weight. A shaped piece reads as a gift the moment it is handed over, it survives the drive home, and it holds the reveal date in print. It is the only piece in the set designed to still exist a year later.
How much does the full gender reveal set cost to print?
There is no package price. Each piece is quoted on its own product page by quantity, stock, size and turnaround. Gender reveal cards start at $16.48 for 50 on 14pt gloss cover, one wine bottle shaped gift set at $15.00 and one 2 by 3 foot two sided blockout banner at $108.75. Configure each one and watch the price update as you change quantity.
Can I add more pieces later for the baby shower?
Yes. This set is the starting point for one day, not the whole pregnancy. The same artwork carries into shower invitations, thank you cards, favor tags and a smaller banner for the shower itself, and reprinting from the same file keeps the whole run visually connected.
