Who's got a fun idea to announce the baby's gender to family?

So, the big u/s is Thursday morning, and, pending cooperation, we plan to find out the gender. My parents are coming to town on Thursday afternoon and visiting for a few days. Does anyone have any fun ideas on how to announce the gender to them? Thanks!

I think it's neat to have a layer cake frosted white or green on the outside, but frosted pink or blue on the inside, so that when you cut into it, you know boy or girl.

We put blue icing inside a Mothers Day cake.  It was pretty obvious because who puts blue icing in a Mothers Day cake.

get a BIG box- and some inflated balloons (Gender specific color- write one letter per balloon to spell out "it's a..." or get a few that just say "It's a ...." on them.)

place them in the box (short or no strings) and wrap it like a gift. (Place the card telling them the good news inside the box I forgot!)

then let them open it up and prepare for some expressions!

I wrapped a huge box and filled it with blue balloons and one that said "Its a Boy!"  then I had my mom take the lid off the box and all the balloons burst to the ceiling for everyone to see.

I have seen people bake pink or blue cupcakes and frost them all white and have tin foil cupcake wrappers.  So people had to bit into them to find out

This isn't particularly creative, but we watched the ultrasound video on the big screen TV with all of our family. It was so exciting and everyone clapped when they saw "It's a girl" on the screen. We made them eat dinner before we showed them the video. The anticipation was so much fun (for my husband and me anyway; I think everyone else was just about ready to kill us).
