Share the Surprise
I read this idea on a blog and thought I would love to do this and share the ultimate surprise with all my loved ones and friends.
It is a baby shower where everyone in attendance finds out the sex of the baby all at the same time. Even the mother and father. This is how it is done.
The couple had decided to not find out the sex of the baby at the time of the ultra-sound, instead opting to find out at the shower. They asked the technician to write down the sex of the baby and put it into a sealed envelope. The mom-to-be then handed the envelope to friends planning the shower who arranged with a bakery to tint the inside of the cake (pink for a girl, blue for a boy). What a delight it was when the happy couple cut the cake to see blue-- and everyone was able to share in their excitement (while also allowing the couple plenty of time to plan ahead and paint the nursery).

so sweet! We were going to do something like that but the cat was let out on accident. My hubby wanted to know and I didn't... so he was supposed to announce it at the shower or put a hint on the invites or something we hadn't gotten that far... well the tech didn't shut the door all the way and I heard him say "I knew it! I told her that's what we were having!" So that is how I found out that I was having a boy. He just turned two. Maybe next time!
We did this for our second only we did it with family at Thanksgiving and my Father in Law got to open the card and announce the news. It was fun having the family guess what they thought the baby's sex was.
