Gender reveals have become a major part of pregnancy. What was once a fringe idea has now been accepted as one of the major milestones of pregnancy that many couples choose to celebrate.
The cool thing about gender reveals is that there are so many different ways they can be done. A lot of people have come up with really creative ways to share with loved ones whether they're having a boy or a girl. That said, there's no ignoring the many dangerous gender reveals that have gone down. Trying to rig up explosives at home have resulted in tragedy for too many families.
Families looking for an easy and fun way to have a gender reveal will be thrilled to learn about the Gender Reveal Game, a cool way to get competitive with family near and far and raise a little bit of money for expectant parents or a good cause!
Kimberly Jolasun was excited to have a gender reveal but knew it would be a challenge with a big family spread far and wide.
"My husband's large family hadn't had a baby girl born in almost 20 years. Instead of a gender reveal party, I had friends and family guess the baby's gender with $20 bets," she told Voyage ATL.
"A few days later, I had raised close to $1k. This simple idea grew into an online game, where expecting parents can raise funds and connect with friends and family around the world to support the coming of a little one."
The need became clearer during 2020, when so many couldn't physically gather with their families to celebrate big moments. There were more ways to have gender reveals than ever, but people couldn't simply gather to make it happen. That's not to mention dangerous gender reveal ideas that have led to tragedy in a number of sad cases.
The Gender Reveal Game provides a platform to get everyone involved in guessing the baby's gender. Kimberly's goal is for the platform to take couples from a gender reveal to baby's first birthday.
When using the platform for a gender reveal, simply sign up and set up your account. Then invite people to bet on whether baby is a boy or girl. The expectant couple can set up a prize for the winner. The money raised can be given to the expectant parents toward the many expenses ahead or donated to a family's favorite charity.
Over 3,000 expectant moms have used the platform to celebrate with family near and far.
"This game is Heaven sent, especially for military families like mine that is stationed across the country away from family and close friends," mom Jasmine Scirrotto shared.
"We are so grateful that this game was available to us and our family!"
"Very easy way to earn money without feeling like you're being too pushy with family and friends," Brende and Ricky from Mesquite, Texas, shared.
"It's also really fun to see what people think you're having!"
Kimberly has spoken to families who loved the experience about how she can grow the platform, and she is getting excited about the possibilities ahead. The past year has taught everyone a lot about the need to connect people when they can't physically be together. It was true for Kimberly herself and what inspired her to get this game out there to families everywhere.
