When you hear someone say they’re “Team Green” at a gender reveal, it means the parents have chosen not to learn the baby’s sex ahead of time. In other words, they keep the gender a surprise until birth. Instead of announcing pink for girl or blue for boy, green stands for “unknown” – the big reveal happens when the baby is born. As one TikTok video put it, parents on Team Green are literally “waiting until birth to find out the sex” of their babies.
Why Some Parents Choose Team Green
Going Team Green is all about embracing suspense and keeping things neutral. Here are a few key reasons why couples opt for a green gender reveal:
- Extra excitement: The surprise at the hospital can feel like opening a gift. One blogger noted that Team Green adds “an extra layer of anticipation” – it’s “like opening a beautifully wrapped present” when the baby arrives.
- No pink or blue: Parents steer clear of the usual girl/boy colors. Using green or other neutral tones signals that the gender is still a mystery. This breaks from tradition and sidesteps gender stereotypes.
- Practical gifts: Without a known gender, baby registries focus on useful essentials. As one viral TikTok commenter said, doing Team Green meant “our registry can be for every single child in the future”. This way friends and family buy items (like neutral clothing and gear) that work for any baby.
- Reuse & savings: Neutral baby things can be used again. Sticking with green/yellow/gray diapers, clothes, and nursery items means they’ll fit a boy or girl, now or later. One author explains that choosing neutral tones means everything “works for every baby and future siblings,” which cuts down on extra spending.
- Building suspense: Finally, many couples simply love the idea of the ultimate surprise. Waiting to learn the baby’s sex at delivery can make the whole pregnancy feel more mysterious and fun.
In short, Team Green parents find joy in the surprise and love the idea of gender-neutral celebrating.
Is Team Green Right for You?
Team Green is a personal choice, and it’s okay to weigh the pros and cons. Some families find it very special, but others prefer knowing early to plan ahead. It’s true that not everyone will understand – one mom shared that some well-meaning relatives even complained “Why are you being selfish?” when she kept the gender a secret. People sometimes worry about being “difficult” or worry too much. The bottom line is there is no right answer for every parent. As one writer summed it up, every pregnancy is unique and every choice is valid. If the idea of a surprise excites you, go Team Green; if it stresses you out, it’s fine to find out early. The most important thing is doing what feels best for your growing family.
Social media is buzzing about Team Green. In early 2025 a TikTok video about being Team Green went viral, garnering over 1.6 million views. Parents in the comments shared why they loved it – for example, one said their gift registry stayed useful because they didn’t need gender-specific items. These trends show that Team Green is a growing, inclusive idea in the baby world. Whether it’s on TikTok, parenting blogs, or discussions at baby showers, more and more families are saying they’re excited to wait for baby’s arrival and let the big question be answered at birth.
