A gender reveal party in Cuba recently captured widespread attention on social media after a blue chaos erupted. A video shared on TikTok by Miguel Agra shows the expectant parents celebrating the upcoming arrival of a baby boy. However, what was meant to be a symbolic moment ended up literally coloring everyone involved.
During the highlight of the celebration, blue confetti cannons and smoke tubes were launched into the air, creating a dense azure cloud. What the hosts didn't foresee was the visual effect spiraling out of control: the blue smoke and confetti pieces quickly enveloped all the guests.
The footage reveals attendees laughing as they display their faces, arms, and clothes covered in a vibrant blue hue. Even the pool wasn't spared, ending up entirely dyed, resembling a giant energy drink.
"No one was spared," the video creator comments with a chuckle, focusing on several guests who couldn't help but laugh at the unexpected outcome. Despite the chaos, the festive mood remained intact, and everyone celebrated the unforgettable and colorful announcement of the baby boy on the way.
