MemberWe finally get to find out our baby’s gender in a couple of weeks, YAY! Now, we are trying to decide how we want to tell them. We thought about doing it on Turkey day since we find out a few days before, but my husband works that day and I want him there when we tell people. So, how did you tell your family?
MemberCall me an idiot, but your family already knows you’re pregnant, right? If so, I’d just be like “guess what, it’s a XYZ!”. Personally I don’t get the whole big deal about the sex since a lot of people don’t even find out.
Memberi had a friend who baked a cake dyed blue, then covered the whole thing in white icing, so the gender was revealed when they cut the cake (obv if it was a girl they wouldve done pink cake). ithought it was kinda a cute idea! (and might work well for thanksgiving!)
MemberI posted a thread about this about a week ago.. http://boards.weddingbee.com/topic/creative-gender-reveals Let us know what you decide on- I’m still not too sure myself…
Member@Miss Sapphire: Yes, they all finally already know 🙂
@LpCutiPie: I thought I saw a thread, but couldn’t find it! Thanks for posting the link!
MemberI felt too sick at that point to be creative. Mostlt I was like, “it’s a girl, now excuse me while I go hurl”. 🙂
MemberWe called our respective moms the minute we got outside the u/s lab, sent a text to our sibs and a few close friends and emailed/facebooked the rest. It was super exciting for us to find out, but not worth making a huge hoopla over… plus there was no way we could keep it a secret until the next time we saw everyone together.
MemberWe told everyone the gender- but not the name. That remained a surprise until the birth. Next pregnancy I want to not find out the gender. I really like Nado’s idea about the cake- that is really cute.
Member@NixLapi: Thats EXACTLY how we did it too! I just am not patiant enough to think of a creative way. Although I wish I was!!
MemberI found these over the weekend with the hubby:

It’s funny because it doesn’t seem like there are a ton of ideas out there!
