So my sister came up with a brilliant idea. My three year old is obsessed with watching those surprise eggs on YouTube, so my sister "made" one with sprinkles inside of it. She used a real egg, and I'm not 100% positive how she did it, but a plastic egg could also be used. My daughter got to crack it open and she really loved being involved.

We kind of did a spin in the cake. We had a gender reveal party because we were moving out of state. We invited our families to our house and I had cupcakes with frosting in the middle made at a local bakery. Only instead of all of them having colored frosting, one had the color of the gender in it. It was kind of a fun surprise for whoever got the cupcake with the (in our case) blue filling! My great uncle got it and felt special lol

@beegee4,
I think this is super cute! The cakes and cupcakes are getting sooooo boring, but to only have one with the "special" frosting is a pretty neat spin! Especially if you have a big enough crowd!

We are going to shoot tannerite with colored chalk around it.. When it exploded the color will be either pink or blue.. (This is how hubby and I will find out, his friend will fill a box with the appropriate color chalk) once we know I am taking a canvas or board and filling black balloons with white paint and having each of our 4 kids pop a balloon, then putting the appropriate color filled balloon in the middle for me to pop to announce to our 4 children..!! We will post both videos online to announce.

I had the doctor write the gender down and put the paper in an envelope. Then I brought the envelope to the nearby pizza place and asked them to make a b or a g in a topping, and deliver it around 7 when my husband was supposed to come home. The B on the pizza was a nice surprise for both of us.
