You could also buy two outfits and give the one that fits after the gender is revealed. You could take the other back. Kind of a pain in the butt but an idea </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gender-reveal-party-4#post-2313744 Thu, 08 Oct 2015 13:56:55 +0000 littlebug 2313744@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wouldn't take anything. IMO, that's not a gifty situation. That's what the shower is for. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gender-reveal-party-4#post-2313741 Thu, 08 Oct 2015 13:51:43 +0000 sapphire 2313741@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wouldn't bring a gift if there is a separate shower later. Maybe a card. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gender-reveal-party-4#post-2313723 Thu, 08 Oct 2015 13:24:51 +0000 T.H.O.U. 2313723@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@TrailRunner: Ugh.

But I'm a reader and am all about books for kids. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gender-reveal-party-4#post-2313655 Thu, 08 Oct 2015 12:24:26 +0000 BandDmommy 2313655@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@TrailRunner: she requested gifts? That's kinda bold. Did she not have a shower? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gender-reveal-party-4#post-2313654 Thu, 08 Oct 2015 12:22:51 +0000 alphagam84 2313654@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wouldn't bring anything and wait 'til the shower </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gender-reveal-party-4#post-2313626 Thu, 08 Oct 2015 12:03:40 +0000 TrailRunner 2313626@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>For a gender reveal I got invited to the invitation said the mom requested diapers and wipes. Otherwise, I wouldn't bring anything big. IMO gifts shouldn't be given at this sort of thing. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gender-reveal-party-4#post-2313533 Thu, 08 Oct 2015 10:45:51 +0000 jlm22 2313533@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Maybe a gift card in a board book? I know gift cards are impersonal but I personally love receiving them! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gender-reveal-party-4#post-2313532 Thu, 08 Oct 2015 10:45:43 +0000 Anya 2313532@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@My Only Sunshine: hehe :wink:<br /> @MOMTOLITTLEB: good idea! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gender-reveal-party-4#post-2313526 Thu, 08 Oct 2015 10:37:57 +0000 MOMTOLITTLEB 2313526@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Maybe a frame for the ultrasound picture? I wouldn't really think of this as a gift giving occasion but that's something small and meaningful. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gender-reveal-party-4#post-2313516 Thu, 08 Oct 2015 10:28:21 +0000 My Only Sunshine 2313516@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Anya: In this weird type of situation I usually bring a little gift and leave it in my car or in my giant purse. Then if no one else brings a gift, you can just keep that for the shower and if everyone brings a gift, you can pull out your gift - "Oh here, I forgot this was in here!" </p> <p>I think in this situation I'd lean towards a gift for the pregnant mama rather than a baby gift since there's going to be a shower. Sparkling cider and a Target gift card? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gender-reveal-party-4#post-2313485 Thu, 08 Oct 2015 09:50:46 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 2313485@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I haven't been invited to a gender reveal party, but I'd probably bring a book (with a female lead character) or something for the parents/ party like sparkling apple juice. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gender-reveal-party-4#post-2313484 Thu, 08 Oct 2015 09:50:21 +0000 BandDmommy 2313484@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Maybe a book? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gender-reveal-party-4#post-2313483 Thu, 08 Oct 2015 09:50:18 +0000 Mrs. Goose 2313483@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I haven't been to one of these. If you feel the need to bring something I would bring a book. I wouldn't feel bad showing up empty handed because there will be a shower and you are already planning on purchasing something for them anyway. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gender-reveal-party-4#post-2313481 Thu, 08 Oct 2015 09:49:24 +0000 T.H.O.U. 2313481@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yea I like the idea of books. Or even a pack of diapers. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gender-reveal-party-4#post-2313477 Thu, 08 Oct 2015 09:45:03 +0000 travellingbee 2313477@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't think I'd bring anything but if you really feel like you need to, maybe a soft blankie in a neutral. Or something funny like a "How to" baby manual kind of thing. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gender-reveal-party-4#post-2313469 Thu, 08 Oct 2015 09:37:08 +0000 Anya 2313469@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>What sort of gift would you bring to a gender reveal party? This is NOT the shower. I was going to buy something off the registry for the shower, and I'll usually buy an outfit or small item once the baby is born. I could get a gender neutral outfit but that kind of seems like it's missing the mark when the whole point of the party is to find out the sex. I guess I could wrap one of each and return the one that turns out to be the wrong sex haha. I supposed gifts might not be expected but this is a full on party so I'm not going to show up empty handed. Books are always a safe choice, but I'm curious what others have done/would do. </p>
