Gender reveal invitations: turn your RSVP into a bet

Saturday morning, three days before the reveal. You open your phone and the family group has 43 messages in it. Your aunt votes girl. Your brother-in-law is certain it's a boy. Three people are asking what time to arrive. Not one of them has actually said whether they're coming.

That's the problem with a group chat: it's good at opinions and bad at answers. A gender reveal invitation can do both jobs. Add a boy-or-girl question to the RSVP form and every guess lands in the same list as the confirmations, in the order it arrives, so the predictions are ready when you are.

Gender reveal invitations: the RSVP is no longer a yes or a no

In the editor you configure the RSVP questions yourself. The form stops being a single tick box and becomes two buttons: boy, girl. A guest taps one and confirms in the same place. Nobody has to open a separate poll, and you don't have to count anything by hand.

• Two buttons on the confirmation form: boy or girl.
• A third option for the undecided, something like 'not betting', so nobody skips the whole reply just to avoid choosing.
• Every prediction stored in the confirmation list inside the invitation, already in order.
• One link to share, whether it's a baby shower at home or a virtual one with half the guests on a screen.

The bet sits inside the invitation, not beside it

A Send The Joy invitation is a web page, not a PDF, built from scenes that run one after another. You can open on the question, follow with a scene where the guest picks a side, and finish with the reveal itself. Nobody downloads anything: the link opens in a browser.

You have up to six of your own photos and a music track. Put the two of you on the cover, work the two colours into a decorative photo, and save the closed box or envelope for the last scene. A short song can play while the guest taps boy or girl on their phone.

The invitation asks the question; the confirmation list keeps the score.

Two colours, one line and six photos

In the editor you fill in one field per piece of information — label, names, date, line, place — with a character counter that warns you before the line gets cut off. Photos frame themselves. You mark which one is the cover, and you can replace any of the others later without touching the rest.

Reading the predictions on reveal day

Before you open the box, open the confirmation list on your phone and read out who picked boy and who picked girl. Write the names on a kitchen chalkboard or the back of a paper tablecloth, so the late arrivals can see what everyone else said. At the door, a QR code covers the guests who never opened the link at home: they bet and confirm from the browser, with no app to install.

Pick a design, try it free in test mode — you edit the cover without paying a thing — and publish the invitation that turns every 'yes' into a bet. One payment of €29.99, and the predictions stay inside the invitation instead of scattered across five group chats.
