Sibling Gender Reveal Ideas?

KD79KD79 member
in February 2013 Moms

We're not planning anything big for a gender reveal for our family and friends (even though my pregnancy announcement was fun and I wanted to do something similar, but DH vetoed it), but I would like to potentially do something cute for my two sons.  They are 8 and 4.5, and ask daily if we know what we're having yet.

They won't be attending the anatomy scan with us, as I've asked both my MIL and mother to attend.  Seeing an ultrasound in person will be a first for them, and this is their last opportunity, so it was important for me to ask them along and there's no room for my kids.

Does anyone have any cute ideas on how we can clue them in to whether they will be welcoming a little sister or brother?

Thanks in advance!

    I know this is a little different but with DS my a/s was the day before DH's birthday so I bought a card saying "it's a boy" put the u/s pic inside and gave it to him on his birthday.

    We did the overdone balloon thing with DD. (She opened a wrapped box with two helium blue balloons inside.)

    She doesn't know it's popular on the Bump and Pinterest, she's 4. It was really cute.

    I think its cute to get either a pink or blue cake and frost it chocolate or whatever they prefer and when they cut into it they find out what they're having :) and everyone gets cake, who doesnt like cake? lol

    maybe have them bake sugar cookies, then buy either pink or blue frosting and tell them!

    I got DS a couple small gifts and will have the u/s tech add either some blue or pink baby stuff to the box. Then he will open the present in front of us all and be the one to show us if LO is a boy or girl. Cant wait!

    My kids are older but we wrapped a pink stuffed animal/rattle and let them open it and captured it on video.  It was simple and fun.

    Or you could just tell them.... nbsp;nbsp;I feel like sometimes everyone is taking these reveal parties and whatnot over the top. As my husband says "it must be nice to love yourself so much that you think anyone else cares". He doesnt direct that at me, just people in this world in general. nbsp;It seems that over the past few years, we women as a whole act like we are the first people in history to give birth. Ok, end rant.nbsp;


    This is pretty insensitive. It sounds like this will be op last baby and she is talking about her family, not the whole world. Adding a member to the family is very exciting. I say make it as special for your family as possible.

    I am taking DS with me on tuesday for the a/s. He loves looking at the u/s pic when I was pregnant with him so I think it will be special for him to find out with DH and I and get to see the baby moving.

    I like alot of the ideas the pp have said. I really like the pink or blue filled cupcakes.

    Exactly.  This is our last baby, and my boys are old enough to understand what is going on.  As I mentioned, they ask every single day if we know yet, so they are as excited as we are to find out.  I don't really like the idea of a gender reveal party or anything for friends and extended family, but within our own little family, I think it's nice to do something fun rather than, "Hey, guess what?  We're having a(n) X."

    I'm leaning towards something very similar to this.  Thanks!

    Did you not read? It's for her children. Not the whole family, or some large shibang. Two kids that are going to be older siblings.

    I'm having a gender reveal for my family in a week after I find out. The grandparents of my child care very much so what the baby's fate is in life and as a member of our family. I didn't invite aunts, uncles, cousins, second cousins- just for the reason you stated. Not EVERYONE cares, but for those that do I don't think it's your place to assume a party as a whole is a bad idea.
    Shame on you for being so insensitive and judgmental.
