Opinions about a gender reveal idea?!

bczappas · December 2014

We are finding out on the 12th at our anatomy scan, and my daughters 4th birthday party is the 14th. My husband wants us to do the cake reveal (pink or blue in the middle) at her birthday party but I feel like this takes the spot life off of my daughter. Opinions/alternatives?

P.S my daughter is thrilled for the baby she has been apart of my pregnancy since day one and she is so excited to find out if she is going to have a brother or a sister.. I just would feel guilty mixing the two together.

Keep them seperate

Keep it seperate. It just doesn't send a good message I don't think. Shes excited about the baby but she likely still has a fear of how things will change and this just reinforce s the idea that "nothing will ever be all about you again"

I think your gut is right here

My kids just got their reveal today. They got a can of silly string that I duct taped so they couldn't see the color and told them to go outside and have fun. And they did! All while screaming IT'S A BOY!!! Aw... I wanted a sister. BUT IT'S A BOY! !!

Oooh! Let her pop the balloons at the end of the party and have them filled with pink or blue confetti! Kids love popping balloons.

I was all for seperate until I read this idea. Super cute and doing it at the end wouldn't take the focus from her and her cake/presents/all that jazz, plus she would be the one revealing...how fun.

I would think to do it separate like other pp said, but maybe just ask her if she would want to find out if she is having a brother or sister at her birthday party. I'm usually pretty surprised at what kids say

ETA: I also love the balloon idea!

I strongly vote separate. I think if I were at a birthday party and a sex reveal happened, I would somewhat downplay the reveal in an effort to make sure the birthday girl doesn't feel unimportant. You could consider doing the ballon popping thing as her own gift, with just the immediate family, after the party. Take pictures and share them later as the reveal?

Separate.

For the birthday favor (at the end of the party), give everyone a white box with a mini blue or pink cupcake or pink/blue colored candy cane inside, and a message that says "___________ is going to have a baby brother/sister!"

***Of course-- let your DD know before they do.
