I'm currently having this debate with my partner about when to do our gender reveal so I'm curious to see when everyone else is having theirs!🤗

    My husband and I were just discussing this! My husband's birthday July 4th, so we plan to invite our families over for a BBQ to celebrate his birthday (and the country's, lol) and do the gender reveal then. We plan on having a gender reveal cake and maybe the confetti poppers. Oh, and we won't know the baby's gender ourselves until around June 22nd

    we found out our baby’s gender from NIPT so we’re doing the gender reveal to our family next weekend when I’m 13 weeks. We’re having cupcakes made with icing in the middle.

    So I know you can request to find out gender as early as 13/14 weeks (or earlier?) but we’re in no rush and I don’t mind waiting until I am 17-20 weeks. Gives me more time for baby bump to grow!

    I also thought it would be nice to have gender reveal closer to mid way through pregnancy and thinking of having the actual shower the month before due date 😊

    Currently 14 weeks 2 Days

    I wasn't planning to do a gender reveal because I think they're silly (I don't feel comfortable hogging attention) and some people have made them outright dangerous (I heard a dad to be died because of a fireworks accident). 

    But my nephew who's annoyed by his only cousin is really excited about my pregnancy. It's adorable. I'm one of his favorite aunties (he's close with 2 of his 4 aunts). I heard his parents telling him he's going to have another cousin and he said "Yeah but this will be the good one." He asked about a gender reveal so I might do something special just for the kids in my family. I was thinking a colored cake but maybe something hands-on like bringing a basket of plastic Easter eggs and only one has a color inside. Or throwing water balloons at a baby poster outside and one has pink or blue water...I'm still thinking and open to suggestions.

    We won't be having a gender reveal party but will be sending some colored cocoa bombs to our parents as a fun way to tell them. We all live in different states so this is our way of making it special for them. We will probably just announce in social media the same way we announced our pregnancy. Our baby shower is planned for October.

    My mom and I are going to look for venues today for the baby shower. We are aiming for late September/early October (EDD 12/12) to help make sure that we are evenly spreading things out between holidays and school events just so its not too much on myself and guests.

    I am not having a gender reveal- we will find out when the baby gets here.

    We won’t be having a gender reveal party. My husband is away for the army and will continue to be for about 98% of the pregnancy, but I get to see him for two days in the middle of July so we’ll be finding out the gender together then from the results of NIPT that I had done in May. It’ll just be an intimate moment between the two of us since we can’t have that during ultrasounds or anything else. We’ll probably just call our family and friends afterwards to tell them and announce it along with our pregnancy. We have not announced yet since we wanted to take some announcement pics when we got to see each other because he left before I started to show. I’m 15 weeks now and will be late 17/ almost 18 when we find out/ make the announcement. I was also aiming for a baby shower around October.

    It's the baby's sex, not gender, so I've several reasons not to do a "gender" reveal party. Lots of fun ideas on here through, I like the coco bombs! We know from NIPT testing but are keeping it just between us until after the 20 week ultrasound.

    I’m just going to send a text and I told my family a big no to a baby shower. My family absolutely HATES that I’m not doing all the mumbo jumbo baby stuff

    We've been pretty open with our close friends that our baby will be a girl until they let us know otherwise. If we aren't comfortable sharing with a particular person we don't. Gender/sex reveal parties don't line up with our values so we aren't doing it. We are having a baby shower later in September though with our friends and their youngsters. It's a good excuse to see everyone and I'm excited to celebrate :)
