Do the Parents Know at Gender Reveal Parties?

>p>Gender reveal parties can be done either way; sometimes the parents already know and just want to surprise guests, and sometimes it's a big surprise for everyone involved!

Gender Reveal Tips: Surprising Your Guests

There's a good chance you'll want to let the gender slip to some of your closest friends before the big reveal. It's hard not to share good news! But remember that the gender reveal - however it is done - is thrilling for everyone. Telling anyone beforehand takes away some of the fun.

Tips for Gender Reveals When Expectant Parents Don't Know

You'll need a sneaky friend or family member to pull this off! Bring your friend to your doctor's office and give the medical staff permission to reveal the baby's gender to your friend (you'll have to agree to have the information released - the office won't release it otherwise).

Once your friend has the gender, it's up to them to order the items for the gender reveal party. Don't have them do it with your accounts because you might see the charges and figure it out yourself. And above all, only assign this task to someone you can trust to not only take care of everything, but also to not tell you the gender no matter how many times you ask.

An Adorable Gender Reveal Party

Boy or girl - you know your baby will be adorable! Try to keep your gender reveal fun and festive, and don't worry about what anyone else does for their party. Make your party whatever you want it to be, and keep the focus on the celebration of your soon-to-be arrival.
