    Look: The world’s most extravagant gender reveals

    Boy or girl? Some parents-to-be go big when it comes to announcing their babies’ gender…

    Gender reveals
    LIGHTS ON THE BURJ KHALIFA: Dubai influencers Anas and Asala Marwah took their gender reveal to new heights, literally, when they broadcast the sex of their second baby’s gender in lights on the world’s tallest tower. The couple reportedly did not know whether they were expecting a boy or girl as the Burj Khalifa flashed pink and blue in the build-up to the big reveal, before a countdown flashed up on the side of the building. When it reached zero, the whole tower turned blue and it read, "It's a boy!". Although the influential couple, who both have YouTube followers in the millions, reportedly did not pay for the announcement, it can be bought for Dh50,000-Dh100,000 depending on the time of day.

    SENDING IT UP TO THE STARS: US couple Lance Patrick and Ashley Blankenship made their gender reveal announcement up in space, with the help of a weather balloon and GoPro camera. They got help from a local high school group, which regularly launched weather balloons into the outer atmosphere for experiments and projects. A parachute attached to the weather balloon opened at 108,000 feet above ground and revealed, “It’s a boy! Tesla Curtis!” Image Credit: Supplied

    A SNAPPY REVELATION: A reptile-loving couple, Mike Kliebert and Rebecca Miller, work on the family alligator farm and decided to incorporate a 61-year-old gator named Sally into their reveal. Having been hatched from an egg by the dad-to-be’s grandfather, Sally was put in front of a hollowed-out watermelon, and when she bit into it blue jelly splashed out, revealing the bundle of joy to be a boy.

    HAIR RAISING REVEAL: One brave American mum put her baby’s gender reveal in the hands of her hair stylist, who was commissioned to dye the expectant mother’s hair either pink or blue depending on the sex of the child. The Facebook video of the reveal went viral, as the mum-to-be waits nervously for the towel to be removed from her head, and then shrieks in delight to discover she has a bright blue barnet – it’s a boy!

    SHOOTING STRAIGHT TO THE POINT: Paintball reveals can be painfully to the point for the papa-to-be, as was the case with this US-based couple. A friend opened the envelope from the doctor containing the information about the baby’s sex, then loaded the paintgun with the appropriately coloured paintball and bam! It’s a boy!

    A DAZZLING DISPLAY: Gender reveal fireworks have hit headlines lately because of accidents relating to them (they recently started a Californian wildfire, which is no joke), but done responsibly, with the help of professionals, they can definitely add the drama factor. Image Credit: Supplied

    WHEEL-SPINNING WOW FACTOR: A burnout tyre pack doen’t cost much but adds all the drama, with your car wheels bursting open packet and billowing out either pink or blue smoke. Pick up a pack for Dh160 from Desertcart.ae. Image Credit: Supplied
