When you're preparing to reveal the gender of your baby, you want that moment to be extraordinary, something your friends & family will talk about for years. Confetti, cakes, & balloons are fun, but why not go bigger, brighter, & bolder?

With JellyFish Lighting, you can turn your entire home into the centerpiece of the celebration. These permanent, professionally-installed exterior LED lights are individually programmable, color-changing, & can be controlled right from your phone. That means you can create a custom gender reveal light show that’s unique to your family, your style, & your big moment.

What Makes JellyFish Lighting Perfect for Gender Reveal Parties?

1. Full Custom Control, Down to the Second: Use the JellyFish app to program a sequence that builds excitement. Start with alternating blue & pink, flash a countdown, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1; then bathe your home in the big reveal color.

2. A Home That Becomes Part of the Moment: With over 16 million color options & dynamic effects, your roofline, windows, garage, or even backyard fence can all light up in unison. Want your home glowing pink from top to bottom? Done. Prefer blue twinkles with a golden shimmer? Easy. You design the reveal, you control the atmosphere.

3. Ideal for Both In-Person & Virtual Celebrations: Not everyone can make it to the party? No problem. Stream the reveal on social media or Zoom & let your family watch as your house lights up with the answer. With JellyFish Lighting’s bright & vibrant display, the reveal looks amazing on camera too.

4. No Mess, No Waste: Unlike confetti poppers, smoke bombs, or balloon drops, which are fun but leave behind a mess, JellyFish Lighting keeps your celebration clean & eco-friendly. Plus, there’s no setup or teardown; once your lights are programmed, they’re good to go!

5. Not Just for One Day: The best part? JellyFish Lighting is permanently installed & discreet by day, ready to be used for every holiday, celebration, or special event throughout the year. From gender reveals & baby showers to birthdays, Halloween, & Christmas, these lights pay off again & again.

Creative Gender Reveal Lighting Ideas

Need a little inspiration? Here are a few fun & unique ways to use your JellyFish Lighting system for your reveal:

Light Countdown Show: Start with alternating blue & pink lights & set a 10-second countdown, ending in a brilliant burst of color that reveals the gender.
Chase Reveal: Set up pink & blue lights to chase each other across your home, with it ending in a flashing display at the end to reveal the gender.
Neighborhood Surprise: Invite family & friends to gather on your driveway or lawn while your house becomes the reveal itself. You could even invite neighbors to participate by guessing the gender with colored outfits or glow sticks.
Photo-Ready Backdrop: Set your house lights to the final reveal color & snap adorable photos with the whole family in front of the glowing display. Instant memories, no props required.
