  I've heard of the whole party thing, where people wear what color they think you are having and then you cut into the cake to announce it.

  We had a bag of balloons that we opened up and let fly out.  I had heard about the cake thing but wanted to do something different.

  (The bag didn't work very well...the balloons came out one at a time...I would suggest a box maybe instead.)

  I have been thinking about the same thing.  We will find out the day before Thanksgiving (as long the baby is in the correct position that is) so I want to announce it on Thanksgiving day. But because my family knows what day the gender scan is, we are going to tell them that the baby was actually in a bad position and we could't tell.  Then on Thanksgiving day I thought either I would make a cake and decorate the top of it to determine the sex, or I would put something on our dog that would give it away, or I will some how get people to announce what they are thankful for at Thanksgiving dinner and I will say that I am thankful for a baby girl or boy (whichever it is).  I also thought about maybe writing a funny poem or creating a little video if I really want to get high tech and clever, haha. But either way, the fam. will be surprised because they will think I don't know the sex of the baby.  I may be going WAY overboard haha but these just some ideas I thought of.  If you have other children you could have them wear a shirt or something that will say "I am going to have a baby - - - -" You will think if something clever I'm sure. Let me know when you have your final idea! :-)

  I personally think a big gender reveal party is too much - other people just don't care that much about the sex of your baby, you know?

  However, that being said, my DH's whole family (15 + people) is coming to us for Thanksgiving this year, to be with my whole family and it's the first time since our wedding we will have all of them in one room.

  If we do know the sex by then, I might have to do something small to announce - maybe a cake, or a card for the grandmas to open. This is our one and only, biologically, and it would be a nice memory.

  I don't know though, I do find the whole idea a little AWish. We'll see.

  Hannie417 I really like your idea about everyone going around the table on thanksgiving and telling what they are thankful for. We find out the sex of our baby before thanksgiving but are waiting to tell everyone on thanksgiving because both of our families will be together.  I will let you know what we decide and how it goes.  Thanks again.

  With my first, I got the grandparents cards that told if they would have a grandson. With my second, I found out right before Christmas, so I wrapped gifts that were to the grandparents but items for baby boy. With this one it is most likely the last grandchild on both sides of the family so we invited the grandma's to go with us to our ultrasound.
