Gender reveal?

[MrsH2010]

Who here wants to have a gender reveal when the time comes?
What would you do?
Who would you include?
Would you and your SO know gender before your reveal or would you find out with your family/friends?

[MrsH2010]

I think a gender reveal would be fun. We would probably just include our close family like our parents and siblings. I have thought it might be fun to do a cake reveal with a cake made by the baker who did our wedding cake. I think it would be fun to share that moment with family but then again It might be more special to find out with just DH and I and then share.

Maybe just for family I love to make party decor and plan showers etc. I would think we would know before. H and I have not discussed the party part. We will obviously find out the sex.

I think it would be fun to find out with a few friends and family. Nothing huge and AWish though. Something simple like a cake or balloons (inside or not letting them fly away of course, haha).

We didn't do a huge reveal with DD. We might do something fun with her and close family. Nothing too AWish.

We'd do some kind of gender reveal but we haven't talked about exactly what it would be. A friend pinned a really cute gender reveal idea on Pinterest the other week. It's 2 pictures - the first says "it's a " with the H/SO standing behind the woman (she's wearing a white t-shirt) with his hands on her belly and second picture says what the gender is (in the example it also says the name) and the H/SO has pulled his hands away and he's left 2 blue or pink handprints. I think it leaves a cute keepsake behind as well.
Here's a link. Hopefully it works since I'm doing this from my phone.

We were team green, so the reveal was when he was born! We told our families and close friends first, then did the Facebook announcement.

Nope

[starburst604]

No I have no plans for a reveal. Just want to know as soon as I can!

[preppy]

Nope.

DH and I found out late last week and my parents and ILs didn't want to know until Easter. We invited my parents and ILs over last night where we had a colored cake for dessert. When I cut into it the pink color made it clear we're having a girl.

My mom took pieces home to take to my aunt's house to show/give them tonight.

MIL told her sister, who we saw today, right away.

Nope, we are team green.

I've seen this on Pinterest before! I think it's a cute and unique idea!

I'm pretty sure we'll be team green, so no reveal for us (well, until the baby is born, that is)

[oneslybookworm]

So, even though I said I was Team Green above, I do love me a good pinterest search! I found a couple really cute ideas for a reveal (though mostly a photo type reveal), if anyone is interested.  Sigh, pinterest is such a time suck!

I think that is so cute!

[vanillahip]

Definitely not.

ETA I would love to do some cutesy Pinterest-worthy pic as part of our maternity pics, but not as a gender reveal (which is a fairly offensive term to many, by the by) I still think we might stay team green

I love those photos! I like how the paint one is in all black and white and only the handprints are in color in the last photo!
