The only thing more exciting than telling people you're pregnant is telling them whether you're having a boy or girl. While some couples simply tell their family and friends, others like to turn the gender reveal into a Pinterest-worthy event. From food fun to family photos, there are plenty of cute, creative ways to tell people about your future son or daughter. Check out some gender reveal ideas that'll get everyone talking and pinning!

Family Portrait
We love the idea of involving siblings in the reveal. Have them pose for a photo holding gender-appropriate shoes or an identifying onesie.
