I was on the no gender reveal team , but we are getting our results from the harmony test, later this week i think on Friday. So i was thinking maybe of inviting the local grandparents over for dinner, and for the dessert cake (We always have dessert when we eat with the grandparents) have a reveal cake? Dh wants to know asap, but he could wait til dinnertime, right?
Does this seem like a good idea? Or just skip it? Reveals were not a thing when i had my older Kids, and its dh's first child.
Are you doing a private reveal? A party? Or nothing?

Personally I want DH and I to keep the sex a secret until birth, even from our parents. I just want us to have a secret between us, but we are for sure on board to find out so we can pick a name sooner. We don't find out until weeks 18-20 though when we get an ultrasound. Different strokes!

IF we do one, it'd be similar - just parents and dessert w/ pink or blue icing inside. Was hoping to find out when my brother/SIL were in town to include them since they're throwing my shower, but didn't work out that way. It's the giant parties that are like an additional baby shower probably soliciting gifts that I don't get. Just combine a baby shower and gender reveal if you're gonna do it that way, lol.
We're flying to NYC tomorrow for my SIL's wedding so I get cake and a trip!
That being said, I'm curious if anyone had the experience of finding out the sex but keeping it a secret from everyone else? Kind of the opposite of a gender reveal! Lol!
just close friends and family...my grandpa.will be in town so that is exciting! cant wait!!!

I found some color smoke bombs that will be used to reveal the sex ( i think its a girl as she came to me in a dream and told me her name). I just told my dad he is about to be a granddad so im more so excited for this day.
After my appt i will head straight to my GF house (she doesn't know that I will be asking her and her husband to be the God Parents at the reveal. I have a nice way to tell them) and give her the envelope. She will get an email with everything that I want for the gathering, from the menu to the decorations etc.

I didn't tell my friend she had to throw. My friend asked me what i wanted for my gender reveal after we had a discussion of me being open to having one. She has a catering/decoration business so she told me she would take care of the food portion etc. That turned into, just tell me what you want and it will be handled.
This baby is my rainbow baby as i had a miscarriage the last pregnancy and they were there to pick me up and help me heal from the lost. So, now that this baby is on the way, they are excited and want to pitch in and do whatever.
I'm not that type of person to tell someone they have to do something. It was offered and I told her sure. Hope that clears up any confusion my post may have caused.
