    Some ideas would be a bee themed party where it's black and yellow and you have a cake that says :what will it bee?: with blue or pink as the color of the inside of the cake.

    Others would be putting balloons in a box and opening it to reveal

    They are really AW-ish, honestly. Having a baby doesn't entitle you to have parties at your every whim. Your child's genitalia is even less of a reason to do so. Furthermore, what would you do if you went for your anatomy scan and LO didn't show the goods

    I think they're so cute!  I've never done one (#3 on the way), but I love when people do. It's not like you're asking for gifts. You're just sharing and celebrating an important moment. 

    Contrary to what some people on here think,

    @mabenner1 - let me REPHRASE the "gathering/party".. its the parents in law, my two best friends and a couple of cousins who are dying to know.. this is nothing TOO BIG and make it more EXCITING and UNIQUE way  to announce the gender of the baby..

    This is so ridiculous, it's not like she is going to have a full blown huge party, some colored cake isn't some extravagant thing, I think it's a really cute idea to reveal the sex of the baby this way. I have lots of people in my life that are dying t

    I'm totally doing a "sex party" ;)  I was all for it. Then I started reading the posts from people on the boards and started second guessing myself. But after I asked a few friends (male and female) they said it sounds like fun and they'd totally

    I'm probably going to have some kind of gender reveal thing. After all my struggles to get pregnant, its something that all of my friends and family know and would love to celebrate with me to find out if we are having a boy or a girl. With my co-workers,

    Personally, I think they are AWish but it's your decision... 2nd tri may yield more responses as those ladies are further along and may have done it?

    We only plan to do it with just DH and me. I think it's a cute way for US to find out, but

    My friends and family would be like, "really a party? You couldn't just call?". I don't mind a cute Facebook announcement, but I also tend to agree that a party is a bit AWish.

    It's a great idea! You can ask your u/s tech to put the sex in an envelope and from there you bring it to your local bakery.  They will make a cake with pink or blue inside.  What I love about this is NOBODY knows not even the parents.  The
