We'll make our formal announcement on Thanksgiving to our extended families and such. But for the gender reveal, I'm hoping we can make it our Christmas card. What I'd like to do, is find out then have my son dig into some cake/present/something to find out if he's having a sister or brother. Have photos and different points of the reveal and so on and so forth.
Sidenote: My DS is 9 and so excited for a sibling. He keeps saying "our baby" haha Love my kid!

I had a non-elective ultrasound with my DD at 16w3d and found out the gender, I couldn't imagine having to wait until 20 weeks when I have the option of finding out sooner.
BFP 10/8/2013
Miss Camryn Marie arrived 6/20/2014
BUT - she could definitely buy for both genders at the sales & just return after. I do that!
I found out with my son at 12w5d. If they can't tell me at 13w then fine, but yes, there is a chance. They start gender u/s at a place here at 13 weeks with 99% accuracy. I'm not going out and buying too many gender specific things that early, but they should be able to give me an idea especially if it's a boy. If they don't see anything at 13 weeks, which don't get me wrong...there's a strong possibility they won't, then I get to go back every couple weeks until they do. There's actually a few places around here that do gender u/s at 13 weeks. All of my friends have had them as well and not once have they been wrong. Again, not getting my hopes up because it is early, but you can't say I absolutely will not find out, because #1 they wouldn't offer the service and #2 I know first hand I can because I found out that early with my son.

I was told around 15 weeks my son was a girl. Later we found out he was indeed a boy. My dr explained that the testicles don't drop until later which is why they normally don't schedule an us until around 20 weeks because earlier it's very hard to tell the difference between boys and girls.

Something about the "angle of the dangle". I'm going to try and find my sons u/s but you could tell. I guess it depends on what kind of shot they get. I'm just glad I'm able to get another u/s at 13 weeks, gender or no gender I'll be one happy lady.
For my last one we found out right before Christmas. We told DH's parents we weren't finding out until after though. We got a helium balloon that said it's a girl and wrapped it in a box. We gave it to his mom as one of her gifts and when she opened it the balloon popped out. Her reaction was priceless. Just make sure to tape the balloon string to the bottom of the box or it will fly out.
My family came over for a Chanukah party and I told them I would be wearing either blue or pink.
