Cupid’s Advice:
Finding out the sex of your baby is one of the most exciting parts of your pregnancy. Now, you get to share the excitement with your loved ones. Cupid’s here to make sharing the news exciting and memorable:
1. Make it fun: Now that you know the sex of your baby, you get to share the good news with friends and family. Make the occasion fun by mailing jigsaw puzzles that spell out ‘it’s a girl’ or ‘it’s a boy’ when finished. This is a creative way to spread the news–and is sure to get your loved ones excited!
2. Pink or Blue: If you have kids already, surprise them by making an entire meal with either pink or blue food coloring. If you’re having a girl, make pink colored pancakes with strawberries on top. Serve pink lemonade and don’t forget the pink napkins and utensils! If they don’t catch onto your gender reveal, spell out the sex of the baby on their waffles with chocolate syrup–they will love the fun surprise, and will create a lasting memory for all of you.
3. Gender parties: Share the moment you find out the sex of your baby with everyone close to you. Let one of your friends learn the sex of the baby before you and your partner; have them buy a cake with either pink or blue frosting inside–depending on the baby’s gender. At the party, the soon to be parents get to discover the sex of their child in front of all their loved ones after slicing the cake. You get to celebrate your baby before he/she even arrives.
