It seems everywhere you look a balloon\u2019s popping with blue powder or a cake is cut to reveal pink buttercream. As with most trends in the Internet age, the types of reveals have grown from simple pink or blue announcements to over-the-top displays involving confetti, fireworks\u2014even dry ice. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Penguin Brand Dry Ice<sup>\u00ae<\/sup> customer Lisa Moore sent us this adorable video of the gender reveal party she organized for her brother and sister-in-law. We think it\u2019s a genius idea, and we\u2019re excited to tell you how she did it! The best part about this idea is that you don\u2019t have to use vinegar, baking soda or any harsh chemicals that could potentially be unpleasant or unsafe for a pregnant mom-to-be.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here\u2019s what you\u2019ll need:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>A glass or clear plastic bowl\/dish (a trifle dish works perfectly)<\/li><li>An opaque or metal shot glass (preferably neither blue nor pink)<\/li><li>Glass beads or marbles&nbsp;<\/li><li>Pink or blue food coloring<\/li><li>Warm water (enough to fill half your dish)&nbsp;<\/li><li>2 cups or bottles to pour water from<\/li><li>2-3 pounds of Penguin Brand Dry Ice<sup>\u00ae<\/sup> (<a href=\"\/where-to-buy-dry-ice\/\">find it at a store near you<\/a>)<\/li><li>Insulated gloves or a towel<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h4>Set the Scene for your Dry Ice Reveal<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<h5>Step 1: Prepare the dish<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>Choose a dish with relatively tall sides (such as a trifle dish) that is a little taller than the shot glass you\u2019re placing inside it<\/li><li>Place the shot glass in the center of the dish<\/li><li>Carefully spread a layer of glass beads or marbles around the shot glass to stabilize it so it can stand independently without tipping over<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h5>Step 2: Add the color<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>Place a few drops of blue or pink food coloring into the shot glass<\/li><li>Fill the bowl with warm water until the water is about halfway up the side of the shot glass<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h5>Step 3: Prepare the bottles<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>Fill two cups or bottles with enough water to fill the dish just above the top of the shot glass<\/li><li>For an added effect, add some loose glitter in the water<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h5>Step 4: Add the dry ice<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>Place three or four pieces of dry ice into the water to create a fog effect<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Important: <\/strong>Before you begin adding the dry ice, safely break it up into smaller chunks. Wear insulated gloves (mittens or oven mitts work) or wrap the dry ice in a towel before breaking it up to keep it from coming in direct contact with your skin, because dry ice is a skin irritant.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5>Step 5: Just add water and you\u2019re ready to reveal<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>Make sure your party guests have their cameras ready, and ask the expecting parent(s) to start pouring water into the dish on the left and right sides of the dish<\/li><li>When the water fills the shot glass, the dye will spill out and reveal the gender in a beautiful fog-filled display<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Watch Lisa\u2019s gender reveal to see her dry ice creation in action. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<!-- =========== -->                      \n<!-- ============ -->                      \n<!-- ============== -->                      \n<!-- START Video     -->\n<!-- ================ -->\n   \n\n   \n<style>\/* CSS *\/        \n\n   \n\/* Adjust div container *\/        \n    .video-container {\n        position:relative;\n        padding-bottom:56.25%;\n        overflow:hidden;\n        max-width:100%;\n        height:auto;\n    }\n\n\/* Adjust iFrame *\/            \n    .video-container iframe, .video-container object, .video-container embed {\n        position:absolute;\n        top:0;\n        left:0;\n        width:100%;\n        height:100%;\n    }    \n   \n<\/style><!-- CLOSE Video container -->    \n   \n\n   \n   \n<!-- -------------------------------- -->\n<!-- Video container  -->\n<div class=\"video-container\">\n\n    <!-- VIDEO iFrame-->\n    <iframe src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/iPBzoifc4y4\" title=\"0&amp;byline=0&amp;portrait=0?title=0&amp;byline=0&amp;portrait=0&quot;\" frameborder=\"0\" webkitallowfullscreen=\"\" mozallowfullscreen=\"\" allowfullscreen=\"\"><\/iframe>                            \n\n<\/div><!-- CLOSE Video container -->\n<!-- -------------------------------- -->    \n                   \n     \n                   \n                   \n<!-- ================ -->                      \n<!-- CLOSE Video     -->\n<!-- ============== -->                    \n<!-- ============= -->                      \n<!-- ============ -->\n\n<br style=\"clear:both\"><br style=\"clear:both\">\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Are you looking for a creative gender reveal idea?
