What Is Backyard Balloon Burst?

Backyard Balloon Burst is an interactive gender reveal experience set in a fun, outdoor backyard scene filled with balloons. Guests pop balloons one by one, building excitement until the final balloon bursts to reveal the big gender surprise.

To make the experience personal and unforgettable, hosts can upload a headshot of Mom and a headshot of Dad. Each photo is cropped and placed directly onto the game characters, allowing guests to recognize the parents instantly. Hosts can also choose from three different skin tones for each parent to best match their appearance.

After the reveal, guests transition seamlessly into the RSVP flow, where they can confirm attendance and select items from your wishlist — all within the same experience.

Big energy. Personal faces. A moment worth celebrating.
