Dh and I are revealing the gender of our baby at easter, i ve come up with all the clues for a scavenger hunt, and in the last egg(whoever finds it will get to bite into the gender cupcake) i want a poem in there with instructions for the winner to bite in the cupcake and reveal the gender. Does anyone have any cute poems that i could let the winner read aloud???

Re: Gender Reveal Poem
Is this an egg hunt for grownups or kids?

Maybe I am just a stickler- but as a grownup, I probably wouldn't run around hunting for eggs that had clues as to the sex of another couple's child. You know your group of friends and family, though, so maybe they think it would be fun...
Personally, though, I know that if I planned on doing this, the final egg would probably not be found, ruining my plans of a reveal. Could you just do a regular cake without all the running around egg hunting?
I think that is such a fun idea! If we weren't team green, I would totally steal your idea. My family would love it!
Blah.. blah.. blah...
"Now go take a bite
see whose guess is right"
There is a bun in my oven that still has to bake
To see what is cookin, bite into the cake
Inside the sweet snack a color will be
Blue or Pink is question...hurry go see!
That makes sense, then.
In my family, it would just end up with a bunch of people sitting around drinking wine and the egg would be forgotten until years later when I happened to be cleaning under the sofa or something...
What about:
The cupcake reveals what Baby will be,
Once you bite it, all will see.
And then instead of biting into a cupcake, give everyone an Easter egg or small basket with snack size Almond Joy or Mounds candy bars.
Definitely use this.
This is so cute! Love it!
This is cute!
Some family members will really get into something like this. I know mine would, especially knowing how competitive they are.
I think it's a cute idea and a few girls have come up with some good poems.
Lol I think its sad that some people's families aren't so close and nice. OP your family sounds just like mine and if I were to do something like this, everyone would be totally excited. There are already lots and lots of kids in our extended family but everyone is acting as if my pregnancy is the family's first and is treating me extra special, so I'm not surprised that they would want to do this.
Ps. We are also really competitive and love making bets! Yesterday at a birthday party my DH's uncle started a game where everyone in the family guesses the date of birth (knowing the due date). When the baby is born, the winner will get 10 dollars from each person that made a bet. There were about 20 people on the list so someone is gonna win big!
My family might do this if I hid the clue in a bottle of wine - or at the bottom...so they had to drink the wine to find out.
If I did an egg hunt for them to find out the sex of my baby they would assume they need to check me into the looney bin.
OP- you know your fam I guess, so if they're really excited to do this, then I guess go for it!
Yes, just because my entire family would refuse to do something as ridiculous as this doesn't mean they are distant hateful people. It means they are grown ups, and while they would like to know the sex of our baby (we're keeping it a secret) they would not run around on a scavanger hunt to find out.
*This is not my poem, but since pugz didn't post it, someone has to*
Open up wide for our gender reveal,Bite the cupcake in half and prepare to get real.
Find out what our fetus will sport way down south,
While enjoying the proof it it there in your mouth.
So there's a baby inside of this ute
No matter how fugly, I'll still think it cute
Pretend that you care, if it has two legs or three
Pretend to be interested if it'll sit down to pee
I'm hormonal and focused on what's in my belly
I'm dreaming of diapers, no matter how smelly
So I'm making adults play really lame games
And making them guess if it's master or dame
So my poem is taking away too much of my glory
I'll get to the point of this really dull story
Assuming the tech wasn't mistaken or lazy
When he read the ultrasound, so fuzzy and hazy,
He told me the baby, star of this story so long
Is the proud owner of a wee baby schlong.
He's the single greatest thing I've done in my life and reminds me daily of how fun (and funny) life can be. He's turned out pretty swell for having such a heartless and evil mother.
FTW!
This takes "the cake". I don't think you can top this one.

RachelOC- we are very close to our families, but I find gender reveals in general to be very AWish, a gender reveal scavenger hunt takes it to a whole other level.
As long as the baby is healthy why does the gender matter
He's the single greatest thing I've done in my life and reminds me daily of how fun (and funny) life can be. He's turned out pretty swell for having such a heartless and evil mother.
HAHA!!! Lmfao!!
I don't think it means the family is not close and nice but maybe just different from what you're used to! I think it's a cute idea, I can also understand how some adults may not be into an egg hunt, however some might! To each their own!
Best wishes to everyone!
