GENDER reveals are a big deal these days with couples asking those conducting their ultra scans to write the sex of their baby on a concealed piece of paper.
The couple then take the note (ideally without looking at it) to a party shop where they will present them with a black balloon to pop in front of friends and family.
Concealed in the balloon is either blue or pink confetti indicating the sex of their child in a flurry of colourful paper and cheers.

Dublin's Ultrascan were bringing the black balloon out to an expectant couple when it burst before their very eyes.
The balloon featured the phrase: "boy or girl?" on its latex front.
