WHETHER you are planning an elaborate event or telling loved ones face-to-face, gender reveals are an exciting part of pregnancy.
If you are expecting this summer, we hope your gender reveal goes better than this one – which left an attendee covered in paint.
Like many proud parents-to-be, this couple were excited to share the news with their loved ones.
One guest, however, ended up getting more than just good news though.
In fact, the woman has gone viral after the gender reveal fail was shared on TikTok last week and the hilarious clip has been seen over 31 million times.
Originally uploaded by TikTok user @donnaleilani, the video begins with the excited mum and dad standing in front of their loved ones before the announcement.
Rather than cutting a cake or popping a balloon filled with confetti, the couple opt for a more unusual method: a dumbbell. (Yes, you read that right.)
Attached to the gym equipment were packages filled with paint powder, which would burst when it was dropped.
With everyone looking on, the room filled with blue powder as Mum and Dad celebrated.
As everyone cheered though, you can see one guest in the right-hand corner has been covered with the powder paint.
The side splitting clip even captures the guest’s shocked reaction as she turns as she is looking like like she belonged in Avatar.
Covered from the neck up, she desperately tries to wipe away the fine powder from her eyes, face and hair.
Even friends try to get involved, which is when the excited mum-to-be realises what has gone on.
Hilariously, she even goes to apologise and hug the poor guest but she can’t because of her cream-coloured dress.
Needless to say, the gender reveal fail has broken the internet.
In the comments, TikTok users have been trolling the couple with one cheekily writing: “Congratulations on the baby boy and the Smurf.”
Another added a shocked emoji and teased: “The way they kept trying to be excited but kept turning at you like…”
Others also couldn’t get over the mum’s reaction, with a third writing: “I thought the soon-to-be mom was gonna hug her cause she felt bad and she literally swerved her.”
Some have praised the guest, with a fourth commenting: “I love how she didn’t make a big reaction and try to steal your moment. What a real trooper.”
As the video continued to go viral, mum-to-be @loveleizz shared a clip from her guest perspective and gave fans an update.
She wrote: “To everyone asking for her POV! Thank you Lila for taking one for the team… team BOY!!”
The mum added: “She’s doing great & laughing with all of us. A day to remember for sure!”
Well, at least the little one will have something to look back on.
