Cute ideas to tell the gender of baby

dhinze629

I find out the sex of my baby in 2 weeks and I am looking for a cute way to spread the word to out family and close friends. I dont want to do the cupcake with pink or blue frosting because that seems like one everyone is doing. Im looking for somthing cute and different.

 Any ideas?

We are having a gender reveal party - and we'll be finding out by having helium balloons in a box...we'll open the box and they'll fly out.

Another balloon idea might be to have neutral colored balloons but have pink or blue confetti inside and you can have your family members pop them all at the same time and be showered by pink or blue.  I think that would be kinda fun.

There are some cute ideas on pinterest. 

Pink/Blue ballons in a box that will float out when you open the box.

If you don't want to have a party, how about a scratch off announcement? You can send a card to family and friends. Here are the instructions.

We were thinking of getting a King Cake, and rather than just having one baby inside, putting a baby in each slice of Cake, and the babies will be painted either pink or blue.

Hmmm... Serious or sarcastic?? (side note.. I had to google King Cake, so I just learned about them)

My mom lives out of state and I was thinking of sending her a baby girl photo frame with a copy of the ultrasound pic or maybe some custom M&Ms. It was actually pretty fun to go on and make your own M&Ms.

Get a pinata with a specific candy for a boy like maybe jolly ranchers for a boy and starburst for a girl.

Make sure you have someone else to clean up afterwards.

For my shower we are having all of the guests wear a pink or blue accessory for what they think the sex of the baby is. My sister is going to make me a cake that's either pink of blue inside so when it's "cake time" we will cut the cake and the color inside will tell everyone if it's a boy or a girl! We will have a little drawing for those who guessed the correct sex of the baby and get them a plant or flower or something. I think it's so cute! But, the guests will not know the sex of the baby until the shower - which I'm happy with because I hope my grandma/aunts shop from the registry and not just buy horrible frilly dresses or boy stuff I don't need!!!

we're doing the gender reveal cake.... so even WE won't know until we slice open the cake and a lil food dye reveals the gender.... only our baker will know ahead of time!

For a second I read this and though you were making M&M's with the ultrasound picture on them and I got totally grossed out. HAHAH!

DH's mom will be in town during the a/s so she will know right away. I'm thinking about sending my mom some pink or blue flowers and my dad some engraved "it's a ..." drumsticks if I can figure out how to get them there quickly.

we went to a bar and handed the waiter our envelope with the sex. We told him if it said girl to have the bartender make a pink drink, if it said boy, blue drink.

 

He bought the drink in a shaker so we couldn't see it, then he set the glass down and poured! We have the whole thing on video. It was awesome to see the pink drink!!

That's a really cool idea.

We ordered custom fortune cookies that said, "It's a boy!" and "It's a girl" inside. We met close friends and family for lunch at P.F. Chang's and had the waiter bring out the appropriate set of cookies.
