Dry ice gender reveals is one of the hottest trends we’ve seen in years. Just get some dry ice and your favorite smoke bomb, and you’ll get a beautiful display and memories that will last a lifetime.
We’ve received a lot of questions on how to do a dry-ice gender reveal, from which smoke bomb to use to how to execute it properly. So for this blog, we’ve collaborated with our parent company Smoke Effect to bring you everything you need to know for your next dry ice gender reveal!
Bring the tissues! @the_peppy_duo on Instagram has us turning on the waterworks after this heartwarming gender reveal.
Typically, when we’ve seen dry ice gender reveals with smoke bombs, many soon-to-be parents use some sort of bowl to put the smoke bomb and dry ice in. Use this opportunity to get creative! Decorate the outside of the bowl with your gender reveal colors, handprints from the parents, etc. Or, get festive! Use a pumpkin or cauldron if you’re doing a Halloween dry ice gender reveal, or an Easter egg for an Easter gender reveal! Just make sure the sides of your bowl are a little taller, to account for the smoke output from the smoke bomb and dry ice.
You don’t want to be running around, getting everything ready mid-gender reveal! Have your dry ice, your smoke bomb, and any other materials you might need ready before activation. This will ensure a smooth process.
Dry ice and smoke bombs can create a beautiful, exciting visual effect for your next gender reveal party. However, you want to make sure you’re following all safety precautions for both items before attempting. When not used properly, dry ice and/ or smoke bombs can be dangerous. For more safety information on smoke bombs, please visit our FAQ page.
@zelle_lex on TikTok gave a perfect step by step guide on how to achieve this beautiful reveal! Check out her video here.
Gender Reveal Supplies and Smoke Effect have multiple different smoke bomb options for all your gender reveal needs! For a dry ice gender reveal with smoke bombs, we would recommend using either our RP30’s or our Wicks. The Wicks have been most commonly used for dry ice gender reveals in the past, and mingle well with the smoke from the dry ice. However, if you want to be extra safe and make sure the dry ice won’t put out the wick, our RP30 is the way to go. Both pack a punch of color, last for about 30 seconds, and would be a great option for your gender reveal!
P.S.- we would not recommend using our Dual Vent or RP90 for your dry ice gender reveal. While these smoke bombs are beautiful on their own, they produce a lot of smoke, and may be overwhelming with the smoke already produced from the dry ice.
Now for the fun part! Get your partner together and do a trial run before the big day. You’ll want to work out any kinks in the process before you throw your party. We offer packs of our Wicks with extra smoke bombs just for this purpose! Make sure everything runs smoothly, try out your smoke bombs, and get excited for your gender reveal!
Now go out there and do your dry ice gender reveal! Remember, for all your gender reveal smoke bomb needs, Gender Reveal Supplies has you covered! Want colored smoke for a different event? Smoke Effect has smoke bombs in all the colors of the rainbow (and more!). Our show-stopping, vibrant smoke sticks add a gorgeous array of color to any event or photoshoot. Shop today!

]]>Everyone wants some fun creative ways to reveal the gender of your new little one. Especially some added fun around the holidays. What better way then incorporating spooky ideas and themes to your reveal party!
When it comes to your reveal we highly recommend using a gender reveal pumpkin! Carve a scary face or even a couple cute words such as "What will I be?" Once your pumpkin is ready to be revealed light a few Gender Reveal smoke balls. Two smoke balls create the perfect effect and give your pumpkin that extra look.
With Halloween everyone loves to dress up and be something different for a change. We recommend dressing up as whatever ghoul you would like and making a party out of it. It's an even better way to incorporate family members, such as soon to be older brothers and sisters, in on the surprise!
Many people believe a picture lasts a lifetime. Keeping that in mind maybe a spooky photoshoot with pink or blue smoke bombs are the better route to go. Dress up, stay simple or even go a little on the dark side. Colored smoke can create the eerie effect you may be looking for during the spooky season.
There are many cases where some parents want that added twist to the their reveal, or you just really like Halloween. Going with the traditional pink and blue may not be exactly what you were thinking. With pumpkins and cauldrons we recommend colored smoke. Neon Smoke Balls can be mixed to create any color! Green for a boy, or purple for a girl can also be used. The possibilities are endless!
Happy Halloween! Stay Smokey, and Spooky!

Sounds simple, because it is! If you get enough smoke bombs, you can put them on the ground all around you and create a huge cloud of smoke within seconds! Use 2 or 3 Ring Pull 90 Second Smoke Bombs, a variety of Mini 30 Second Smoke Bombs, or even a couple Dual Vents to create a huge back drop of smoke to take photos in! You can still get the 'smoke cloud' effect without holding them! And what's even better about this strategy? You have your hands free so you can create all sorts of different pose types! For those who have already tried posing with a smoke bomb in your hand, you know what I mean. It can be hard to pose with a smoke bomb and get cute photos! So leave the smokes on the ground and up your photo game with more natural poses.
If you're set on keeping the smoke off the ground, protect yourself by using a mason jar instead! Mason jars are sturdy, reflect light well, and are clear so you can still see the smoke bomb and the smoke inside! You can hold the mason jar, put it on the ground, or prop it up on just about anything. By taking photos this way, you will concentrate the smoke and it will appear to be 'billowing' out of the top of the jar, and it's more protected from wind! Besides, everyone knows mason jars are gaining traction because of their 'rustic' look, so take advantage of them and get started on some super unique photos!
Oh come on... we all have one. And if you don't, a regular stick works just the same! You can use just about anything to attach the smoke bomb to and extend it away from you. This creates some protection by giving yourself the recommended '6 feet' away from the smoke bomb, while still giving you control of the smoke it produces! You can hold the stick so that the smoke bomb is closer to the camera, creating a colored fog look easily this way! Want to add another layer? Use another stick with a different color! The options are endless!
]]>We don't recommend anyone under the age of 18 to use cannons by themselves. If you want to include a child in the reveal, please assist them with popping the cannons. Just be sure to cover their ears, because they do make a loud noise! Before using each cannon, poke a small hole on the end that the arrows point to. This will ensure you get the best effect when they pop! To pop the cannons, follow the directions on the label. There is a heavier side that has a metal piece that produces the "pop". This side is the bottom (meaning the powder or confetti comes out of the opposite side). Twist the bottom where the arrows indicate, and you're good to go!
Powder cannons shoot out colored powder that looks like a smoke cloud. All of our powder is made out of cornstarch and color dye, so it is completely biodegradable and shouldn't stain clothes! Since powder is a heavy particle, the powder cloud will only last a few seconds, so be sure to have your cameras ready! 12 inch powder cannons come in blue and pink. You can purchase a 2 pack of our powder cannons to save money! We have purple and red powder cannons too! Although they have the same amount of powder as the blue and pink cannons, they are 16 inches long instead.
Confetti cannons shoot out circular pieces of confetti up to 15 feet in the air! Confetti lasts longer in the air than powder, so you have more time for photos with these cannons. You can shoot them straight into the air and take photos with the confetti falling down around you, or you can shoot them up and towards the camera, creating a really cool photo effect like the photo below!
We have a few different types of confetti cannons. Our regular 12 inch confetti cannons come in 5 colors: red, blue, silver, green, and red! Our new biodegradable confetti cannons come in blue, pink, and silver! We also have red confetti cannons too! All of our cannons that aren't listed as biodegradable are made out of mylar.
Powder is a great way to make a big impression with gender reveals! All of our powder is biodegradable and shouldn't stain your clothes or the ground. Just wash away any powder on the ground, and put your clothes through a quick-wash and you're good to go! We have burnout kits, baseballs, and golf balls available.
Looking for a cool way to get your favorite car involved with your reveal? Checkout our gender reveal burnout kits! Basically, burnout kits are colored powder inside of a black bag with a piece of double- sided tape. We put them in black bags to keep the color discreet! We will attach 1 side of the tape to the black bag, and leave the other side with it's covering on. When you receive the kit, just peel off the backing on tape and stick it to the top of your back tire. When you do a burnout, your tire will spin and explode the bag of powder, giving you the desired effect! Not sure how to do a burnout? Checkout YouTube; there are plenty of tutorials out there. If you're unsure of how to do a burn out, I would suggest ordering another color to use as a practice first!
Burnout kits come in 7 colors: pink, blue, purple, red, orange, yellow and green. Yes, they do work on motorcycles! We've had customers ask about bicycles, and sadly I don't think bicycles have enough torque to produce the desired effect. If you order burnout kits of multiple colors (pink and blue), we will put a sticker on the outside of each kit to indicate its color. If you're unsure, you can always open the black bag and then re-seal it.
If you're a sports fan looking for a unique reveal, check out our gender reveal balls! We have baseballs and golf balls available. Each ball will come with a sticker on it to indicate whether it's pink or blue on the inside. If you're shipping them directly to the mother to be, make sure you either specifically request that we take the stickers off, or have someone remove them before showing her! Unfortunately, we can't change the colors that they come in, sorry! Each set comes with 2 balls, you can chose if you want 2 pink, 2 blue, or 1 of each!
Gender Reveal golf balls are super fun to do with a large group! Each set of golf balls comes with a tee. You can get really cool pictures by lining everyone up and swinging at the same time! Gender reveal golf balls make great gifts for virtual gender reveals!
Gender Reveal baseballs are roughly the size of a regular baseball, but a little bigger. They are made out of plastic so that they will explode when they're hit. The powder inside is completely biodegradable, but the plastic ball itself is not, so please pick up the pieces when you're done!
Smoke bombs are some photographers favorite tool to make truly amazing effects for photos. Some of our smokes are ignited with ring pulls, while others are activated by lighting a wick similar to a firework or a candle. We'll explain each one below. Gender reveal smoke bombs also come with discrete labels, so they won't give the surprise away! There is a code on the side of the smokes to indicate color:
REV 1 = Pink
REV 2 = Blue
We have 5 types of gender reveal smokes: Ring Pull 90's, Dual Vent's, Ring Pull Mini's, Wicks, and Pranks.
As with cannons, we don't recommend anyone under the age of 18 to activate smoke bombs. They are very similar to fireworks, and come with inherent risks. Once you activate a smoke bomb, we recommend placing it on the ground and stepping back while it's smoking. Smoke bombs do get hot, so please be careful so you don't burn yourself! Sometimes powder will come out of the smoke bomb when it's first activated. That powder shouldn't stain, but it definitely can, so be sure to wash your clothes or hands after! You will see lots of photos of people holding our smoke bombs. Please know that they do so at their own risk!
Ring Pull 90's are smoke bombs that are activated by pulling a ring, and last for approximately 90 seconds. If you order from a gender reveal listing, they will come with discreet labels. We have both on our website, so make sure you order from the right listing! There are a few steps to activating a ring pull smoke bomb. First, remove the cap from the smoke. If you look at the label, there will be arrows pointing in the direction that the smoke comes out of. This is also the same side that the ring is located. Next, pull the ring at a 90 degree angle (perpendicular) to the smoke in 1 smooth motion. Try not to jerk the ring so that you don't accidentally break the activating mechanism! Once the smoke is activated, put it on the ground and you're good to go!
Ring Pull Mini's are very similar to the Ring Pull 90's we discussed above. The only differences are that they're smaller and produce smoke for approximately 30 seconds instead of 90! They're activated in the same exact way (by pulling a ring at a 90 degree angle to the smoke), and have the same exact labels. Simple right? A fun way to use ring pull mini's is to put them inside of a mason jar once they're activated and use the mason jar as a prop for pictures!
Dual Vent smokes are also similar to Ring Pull 90's. The main difference here is that dual vents emit smoke that comes out of both ends of the smoke bomb. Since they are emitting smoke twice as fast as the RP 90's (because some is coming out of both ends at once), they last for about 30 seconds instead of 90. These are great for creating large clouds of smoke very quickly! Combine dual vents with RP 90's to create layered smoke effects in your photos! They are also activated by pulling a ring perpendicular to the smoke.
Gender Reveal Wicks are similar to Ring Pull Mini's except that they require a lighter to activate. Each one has a piece of tissue paper on its end. Just light the tissue paper with a lighter and you're good to go! Wicks last for about 60 seconds each. These are also great for putting inside of other props! All of our wicks come in 4 packs and are available in 4 colors: pink, blue, white, and purple.
If you're a joker at heart, you will LOVE our Gender Reveal Pranks! These are the same product as wicks, except they change color halfway through! You'll need a lighter to activate them, and then let the joke begin! For the first 20-30 seconds they'll emit one color (either pink or blue), then they'll switch to the opposite color for the last 20-30 seconds! We also have a code for these to indicate color!
We also sell regular smoke bombs that don't have discreet labels. Don't be fooled, you can still use these for gender reveal parties if you want! They just don't have discreet labels, so you'll know what color they are before you activate them. Make sure you're ordering from the correct listing so you don't end up with smokes with different labels than you intended! We have RP 90's, Dual Vents, RP Mini's, 6 Minute Smokes, and Color Me Smoke Packs.
Ring Pull 90's are just like the ones we mentioned above. They come in 11 colors: red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple, pink, teal, brown, black, and white. These are activated by pulling a ring at a 90 degree angle to the smoke and last for approximately 90 seconds.
Similar to the gender reveal dual vents, our regular dual vents also smoke from both ends, are activated by pulling a ring, and smoke for approximately 30 seconds. We have 11 color options for regular dual vent smokes: red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple, pink, teal, white, black, and red/yellow. The red/yellow dual vents (pictured above) produce yellow smoke out of one end and red smoke out of the other end! Unfortunately, we aren't able to customize our dual vents with other color options.
Our Ring Pull Mini's are actually the same exact product we mentioned above. They are small smoke bombs that last 30 seconds and are activated by pulling a ring. We have 5 colors available: pink, blue, white, green, and purple. All of our pink and blue RP mini's come with discreet labels, even if you're not using them for gender reveal! Just remember the code: REV 1 = pink and REV 2 = blue!
Our 6 Minute Smokes are our longest lasting smoke bombs. They require a lighter to activate, and come in white only. These are great for extended photo shoots or for tactical purposes. We have a lot of people purchase these to practice fire drills, military drills, and videography. At only $6 per smoke, you really can't find a better deal out there!
Color me smokes are similar to our RP 90's. They are just a little smaller, they last for 60 seconds, and they require a lighter to activate. Each pack comes with 5 colors: red, white, blue, green, and yellow. You can purchase packs in increments of 5 (meaning a 5 pack, a 10 pack, a 15 pack, etc) to save money! These are also a favorite for photographers who prefer wick activation for smokes.

]]>Photographing smoke takes practice. That is why we always recommend getting our white 6 minute smoke bombs. That way you can practice before using the more expensive colored smoke bombs.
The most important rule of photographing smoke is to wait for a day with No Wind! The slightest wind can really ruin a smoke photo shoot.
You need to have the subject slowly moving forward so they don't get lost in the smoke.
The photographer doesn't make the smoke. They use a smoke grenade which you can buy here at GenderRevealSupplies.com
All smoke bombs will come with a warning that says not to hold in hand. Many people choose to ignore this advice and they hold the bottom of the smoke grenade, lightly (applying pressure to an active smoke bomb is very dangerous). They hold the bottom because the top half (near where the smoke comes out) gets hot. Make sure to have a bucket of water to dispose of the used smoke bomb.

]]>Yes smoke bombs are legal but there are places that you can't use them. Don't use them on government land or anywhere that prohibits fireworks.
Yes smoke bombs are considered safe to use if used properly. They will all have a warning on them not to hold in your hand. The smoke grenade will get hot. The heat will be higher the closer to the end where the smoke is released.
They will all have a warning on them not to hold in your hand. The smoke grenade will get hot. The heat will be higher the closer to the end where the smoke is released.
Pressure on a smoke bomb is very dangerous. Avoid putting pressure on a smoke bomb at all costs! That means don't squeeze them tightly or wrap tape around them tightly as this is very dangerous and can cause them to malfunction.
Some people do ignore the advice about not holding them in the hand. Those people hold it lightly at the very bottom of the smoke bomb so as to not put pressure on the smoke grenade and so they don't handle the hot top half of the smoke stick.
The colored smoke bombs we sell are not toxic. That being said, it is smoke so you don't want to inhale big amounts of it.
No. Never use our smoke bombs indoors. They put out too much smoke and it's never a good idea to be enclosed with that much smoke in a room.
]]>Why Buy From Gender Reveal Supplies?
Every colorful smoke grenade on our site can be used for smoke bomb photography. The key is learn how to shoot with smoke before getting into the more expensive options like our wire pull smoke bombs.
Wind. Make sure you are not shooting on a windy day. If it's windy for the day of your shoot, you should wait it out or reschedule. Wind and smoke don't mix well for a good picture.
Practice. Practice. Practice. This is why we always recommend that you get our 6 minute smoke bombs so that you can get used to photographing smoke. They are the best bang per buck and allow you time take a lot of pictures.
Movement and Positioning. Your subject should be moving towards you to keep at least some of his/her body in front of the smoke. Allowing the smoke cover some parts of the body makes for a great picture.
Get creative. Use a drone to hold up a smoke bomb with fishing wire and see what you can do.
The burst smoke grenade is for experienced users since it doesn't last as long as the normal smoke bombs due to the fact that smoke is coming out of both ends instead of just one.
]]>The wire pull smoke bomb pink will be in stock in the eg25 and the wp40 on July 2nd! So mark your calendars because they will go fast and we only have a limited stock coming in.
]]>Pink wire pull smoke bomb is probably the most requested item we hear from our customers. Finally the wait is over.

We have now put our Reveal Powder inside of discrete bags and all you have to do is peel and stick them onto your tire.
