Sex reveal without pink or blue?

I'm trying to come up with some clever ideas on how to announce the sex of our baby without using pink/blue or any other typical gender identifying means. Not really sure why it means so much to me, I just like being sensitive to these things in today's times. I don't want to make a huge deal about it, just a photo on social media to let my family and friends afar know.

So far I've had ideas such as using gender symbols, xx/xy or cute sayings such as "pretty like mommy"/"handsome like daddy".

Anyone have any other ideas??

Someone in this group posted their announcement of a girl and it was a photo of the ultrasound pics & an outfit that wasn't particularly girlie with a hairbow & It's was cute. Maybe that mama will see and post again in case you missed it.

When I announced with my first I just posted a pic of myself & bump and captioned it "a couple of girls on Easter" haha we aren't finding out this time, but I love reveals! Haha

@mrssrs,

I think you might be talking about mine 😊. I'm not into the girly stereotypes and this is what we did

This is why I'm not doing a gender reveal. (No offense to those who chose gender stereotype themes) it's just not my thing. I lightly tossed the idea around of literally doing penis or vagina. 😂 or some cute variation of that. In reality... that's what you are revealing. But I could not think of anything that was not overly gendered. I think pink and blue is pretty basic. If you changed up the colors people would be confused. Good luck! I'll be interested if anyone can come up with some ideas!

Oh what about planets? Venus is a pretty clear feminine relation, I'm not sure what the dude one is...Mars? you could do like a "Venus or mars?" Theme? 🤔🤔 hmm.

@mamajorg,

WOW. That is SUCH a cute idea!!! I might be stealing this once I find out 😁

I posted a candid cute video that my husband took of me when I was like 6 weeks pregnant and did a hashtag #babyboy along with some other generic hashtags. That was the only attention I drew to the sex of the bay as I am wanting to raise him to choose how he wants to relate to his gender

Pinterest will be your best friend in choosing something neutral. The best  color combos I have seen have been yellow and grey. So a boy or girl announcement can still be very cute without the typical colors

When we finally announced, I posted a pic of myself and said "looking forward to meeting our baby girl this August". No extra details. Just me and my bump on a good hair day. Lol

why not the ultrasound pic with letters say its a....

We didn't know the sex but had it in an envelope. We went to the store and picked out a boy and girl outfit then took them to the customer service counter with the envelope. We gave the lady a $20 and asked her to see which it was and to put the right sex outfit in a box and left. When we came back she gave us our change and the box. We wrapped it and at our small gender reveal we opened the box and found a boys outfit :)

Here is what I used for social media. I chose the green writing because I prefer green over blue but you could do any color writing.

We did a St. Patrick's Day reveal and used green and gold
