Announcing #2s gender...any ideas?

I know this post doesn't necessarily belong on this board..however I was wondering how the moms of 2 or more announced what they were having to the rest of their families.  When we found out we were having a girl for #1, i called a local bakery and had them bake a cake and put a layer of pink frosting in between and frost it in white with yellow writing saying "it's a..." and i let my mom and DH's mom cut into it.  Looking for some different ideas.  All are welcome.  TYIA

We put blue balloons in a box & had both sets of g-parents open the box at midnight on NYE (we have an annual party).  It was fun & DS loved playing with the balloons afterwards.  He also "helped" open the box because he knew the balloons were in there, lol!).

I also thought of doing another cake (that's how we told family we were preg) or having DS give each set of g-parents a little gift with something blue inside & baby-related.

I had to mail my reveal so I did it a little differently but:

Boy:  Give a box with Peanut M&Ms, Snickers, Baby Ruth, Pay Day, Almond Joy, and Mr. Goodbar.  Then write a note that says, "What do these have in common?"  For anyone who doesn't get it - they all have nuts!

Girl:  Give a box with Lady Finger Cookies with a note that says "A Dainty treat for our family"

I mailed both boxes to my families and told them not to open them until I called.  I numbered the boxes and told them which number to open when I called.  They opened the girl box and understood instantly that we were having another girl.  Then they opened the boy box and got to enjoy the treats.  

If you're going to be there with them then you don't need to make both boxes, just the box for the specific sex you're having.  

It was fun!

One girl at work bought blue liquorice and handed them out.

Please god, whatever you do, do NOT have a gender reveal party.

I did something similar for my first. For my second I had DD unwrap a pair of booties in front of everyone. In my case they had pink tiaras stitched on them.
