  I don't see any reason to add a note.  People do showers all the time without knowing the sex.  If people really want to buy something pink/blue, they will ask you.

  I actually think that I would add the note given that you've registered for items for both sexes. Some people might think you're having twins and get you one of each!

  You could remove those items from your registry temporarily and add the appropriate ones back in after you find out the sex.

  I don't think there's any harm in adding a note that you don't know the sex yet, other than to be careful people don't assume you're throwing a gender reveal party too and that note is their invite to that haha

  I think a note or no note would work. I don't personally know too many people who do their shopping much more than a week or two before the party so by the time they are actually shopping you will know and can remove the items that don't apply. Or, if you don't want to add a note or mess with your registry, you can always just plan on returning any gender specific items that don't apply and getting something else.

  I'd skip the note and update the registry accordingly. If people are wondering in the meantime I'm sure they'll ask you, or your mom when they RSVP. 
  
  A friend of mine received a shower invite recently that said they're expecting a boy, but there was a footnote saying they're not 100% sure. Seemed a little odd and unnecessarily confusing.

  I agree on skipping the note. I'd either make the initial invitation clear about the sex of the baby (which you can't do) or leave it unstated. I think if you put the expected sex reveal date, it almost implies that people affirmatively need to inquire about the sex or that you want them to inquire about the sex after that date. If they want to purchase something that is sex specific, I think they would ask you or your mom.

  I'd delete anything that is for a specific sex. Add them to the registry once you know for sure.

  I think you could add the note if you want. I also dont see the need to delete the sex specific items. The 6th is 2 1/2 weeks away and I would doubt people would already shop. Then from the 6th to your R.S.V.P date is 3 1/2 weeks, plus however long before the actual sprinkle. That's a lot of time, I think people would be more likely to shop during that time frame and by then you will have deleted the unneeded sex items.

  why don't you put the note on the comment/welcome section in your registry? we put one on last time about squeeky toys bc they make our dog insane. It worked out great and no need for the awkward PS in the invite!
