The leaves are almost gone, pumpkin spice is in the air, and there’s a whiff of snow in the breeze. It’s November, and the holiday season is in full swing! If you’re drawing a blank on November gender reveal ideas, Peerspace can help you out. After all, in this time of Turkeys and pumpkin lattes, there’s never been a better moment to host a gender reveal party.
Along with gender rental ideas, we’ll share the perfect gender reveal venue rentals. Peerspace is the largest online marketplace for hourly venue rentals and makes it easy to discover and book amazing event venue rentals for all of your special moments. Here are 11 sweet November gender reveal ideas perfect for welcoming an upcoming little turkey.
1. Find and book the perfect gender reveal venue for you
First things first, you’ll need a spot for all your gender reveal fun. While you can always stage your party at home or in a backyard, you can upgrade the event by hosting it at a special party venue rental care of Peerspace.
One of our favorite options in terms of style and amenities is this bright white storefront with stylish amenities in Chicago, IL’s Pilsen neighborhood. It is a 1,050-square-foot event venue with room for 50 guests, multiple dimmable chandeliers, tables and Chiavari chairs, a prep kitchen, a sound system, and a list of recommended vendors. The fact that the venue is adorable doesn’t hurt, either!
Here’s some helpful insight from a Peerspace reviewer who booked their own event here: “This space is beautiful. You honestly have to do so little to make this place feel like your own. The tables and chairs offer a very refreshing ambiance and class.”
Not hosting your November gender reveal in Chicago? No worries! To see what’s available for your November gender reveal, head to the Peerspace homepage, input your event type and city, and then browse the results till you find one that speaks to you!
2. Pumpkin smoke bomb
You can hardly walk two steps in November without tripping over a pumpkin. So, why not feature this classic fall staple in your gender reveal?
Try hiding a pink or blue smoke bomb inside a carved pumpkin, then hitting the button at the moment of truth. If you’re worried about it feeling too “Halloween,” try carving a baby-inspired design on your pumpkin instead — like a rattle.
3. Smash a pumpkin pinata
Alternatively, you could smash open a pumpkin pinata for your gender reveal. Fill up a pumpkin with pink or blue candies, then smash it open at the moment of truth!
A pumpkin-shaped paper mache pinata would also work perfectly if you’d rather not smash an actual pumpkin.Check out this adorable option on Etsy!

4. Slice into a pumpkin cake
Slicing into a pink or blue cake is one of the most classical gender reveals out there. You can play up the season by baking your cake with pumpkin spice flavors! If you’re worried about the orange color that pumpkin brings to the table, don’t worry. You can transform your cake into a surprise cake by putting pink or blue M&Ms in the middle.
When the expectant parents cut into the cake, the M&Ms will come tumbling out. Plus, you’ll get to enjoy some classic fall flavors with your cake. Win-win!
5. …Or a pie
Hey, who says cakes have a monopoly on gender reveal desserts? Put a “Thanksgiving” twist on your gender reveal by slicing into a pie instead. Just cover the top of the pie with crust before baking, leaving the filling a mystery until the moment of truth.
Will the first slice reveal a blue blueberry filling or a pink cranberry filling? Either way, your guests are in for a treat with this November gender reveal idea.
If you’re a baking enthusiast and want to bake your own gender reveal cake or pie, consider booking a kitchen rental venue through Peerspace to do the honors. You can easily book a space that has a fully-equipped kitchen as well as the perfect gender reveal party ambiance for enjoying all aspects of your event!
6. Unwrap a Thanksgiving onesie
In case you didn’t know, Thanksgiving is kind of a big deal in November. Why not play that to your advantage with your November gender reveal?
Wrap up a pink or blue Thanksgiving-themed onesie for the baby, then have the expectant parents unwrap it at the party. Next Thanksgiving, the baby can wear it to dinner, making for some adorable photo ops.
7. Throw a Thanksgiving football
November is the heart of football season. So why not play that up with your reveal?
Did you know they actually make gender reveal footballs designed to burst with pink or blue smoke when you punt them? Seriously, they’re a thing. It’s an adorable and unforgettable November baby shower idea for football fans.
8. Bob for apples
Bobbing for apples is a classic autumnal game and a county fair staple. Why not use this game to stage your gender reveal?
Carve a “B” for boy or “G” for girl into an apple. Then, hide it in a tub with the other apples. Let your guests take turns bobbing for apples until someone finds the lucky one. It’s a great way to gamify your reveal and an awesome November baby shower idea for competitive parents.
Make this idea even more special by hosting it in an actual apple orchard, particularly if you live somewhere warm so you don’t freeze! We love this Twain Harte, CA 118-year-old restored barn and apple orchard. Along with easy access to tasty apples, you can also enjoy the Ponderosa Pines and Redwoods surrounding the barn, the fire pit, and the bocce ball court. Sounds like a blast to us!

9. Bite into a colored candy apple
Speaking of apples, did you know that you can make candy apples in pretty much any color you want? All you need is a little food coloring.
Make a batch of pink or blue candy apples, and keep the apples hidden until the moment of truth. Let the expectant parents reveal them and take the bite out of the very first one. It’s super sweet and totally fall!
10. Cast your votes – boy or girl?
November isn’t just a season of pumpkin pies and turkeys. It’s also voting season and home to Election Day. So, why not play up an “Election Day” shower theme?
Have your guests cast their votes for “boy” or “girl” into a ballot box, then count them all up. Does the popular vote align with the truth? Have the expectant parents open an envelope revealing the “winner” of the race, and find out for yourselves!
11. Dive into an autumn leaf pile
Raking leaves might not be a favorite autumn chore, but jumping into them is a fun way to end the season.
To use this idea for your November gender reveal ideas, try hiding a special pink or blue leaf in the center of a leaf pile, then challenge the expectant parents to find it. It’s like finding a needle in a haystack, but less hard and autumn-themed. Not to mention super cute!
