How did u reveal the sex of your baby to the family?

I know I have until the end of September for this but... A lot of ideas on how to reveal the sex of our soon-to-be miracle...

1.) When you go for your 20 week ultrasound- bring two bears one blue/ one pink and a bag or box. Without having the tech tell you if it's a boy or girl. When u leave the room have the tech put either a blue or pink bear in a bag. Save it until you get home and reveal it with family and friends as a surprise to everyone including you and your spouse. You can be creative with this as well.

2.)  Bake cupcakes. Cut out a cone like shape in the top of the cupcake, remove the bottom part of the cone. Squeeze in either blue or pink icing, place the top part of the cone back on the cupcake. You can either do this with all the cupcakes or just one fill one with pink or blue icing and the rest with vanilla icing. Depends on how creative you want to get. You can also do a cake... With either colored icing inside or colored chocolate m&ms.

3.) Fill balloons with colored confetti either blue or pink (which will identify the sex of your baby) you can fill only one with the color or all... If you chose to only fill one with color confetti you may want to fill the others with another color or white. Make use to use dark shade of blue and dark pink... So you can not see what color confetti is inside. Have a little baby sex reveal party or just gather with friends and family... Have everyone pick a balloon and pop them all together and see who gets the pink or blue confetti in their ballon. You can do some many different things to reveal with balloons and confetti.


These are my ideas... Does anyone have any other ways of identifying the sex of their baby to be to friends and family??? Please share... :-)

That's a cute idea but my loving female dog is terrified of balloons she barks at them hehe... My girl dog is all over me and get in between me and my husband but not aggressive... Just making sure I'm okay. Lol

I meant to say, her hands were dipped in pink paint, so when she lifted up her hands, the white tshirt had pink handprints and her hands were pink.
Or if you have an obedient family dog, call him into the room dressed in a pink/blue jersey with a balloon floating from his middle that says its a girl/boy, lol.

Aww that's cute. A friend I know so having twins and she have each grandma an envelop to reveal baby A and Baby B to everyone. Cute way to get the family involved.

Im loving the cake idea! A friend of ours bakes cakes, so maybe give her the sealed envelop and have her bake a pink/blue middled/inside cake. I saw a pic of a couple: theyre in jeans and white tshirt, ladys got her hands on belly in photo one and on photo two her tshirt has pink handprints on after lifting her hands from her belly. So exciting!

We were going to have the tech write it down on a jefe of paper and leave it in an envelope. Give it to one close friend and have a "reveal" party planned. The cake will either have pink or blue icing inside.. So once we cut into it everyone will know :)
