Ok, so this is what DH and I decided to do when it comes time to finding out the sex of the baby...
Since I don't want to know, but am kinda still up in the air, and DH really really wants to know asap, we decided to do this (a cute idea I found online somewhere):
At the 20wk u/s we're going to have the sono tech write either BOY or GIRL, whatever she determines it is, on a piece of paper and seal it in an envelope. I'm going to give the envelope to my mom and wherever she has the cake done for my shower she's going to give the envelope to them still sealed. They will open it and either put blue or pink icing in the middle of the cake (and not tell us a thing), depending on if it's  or  written on the paper! Then at the end of my shower DH and I will cut the cake together and we'll either see pink or blue and get to share the moment with those we love!
The only thing is actually NOT opening that envelope for 10+ weeks... we'll have to give it to someone to hold on to until I see my Mom so we're not tempted. 
Think we'll be able to hold out?

that is a VERY cute idea - but there is no way on earth your mom won't open that envelope...
my mom would - no matter what....(she might try to hold it up to the light) - but she'd get that sucker open!
we didn't want to know at first, but as the weeks' went by - i changed my tune pretty quickly!
GOOD LUCK!!!!!!!

My girlfriend did something of the sorts. She had the tech write boy or girl on the envelope and gave it to her mom. She had her mom read the results and told all of the guests on the shower invitation it was a girl - At her shower her mom decorated everything pink with lots of "It's a Girl" stuff.
Cute idea!

I do agree about your mom looking though. I know my mom would, also!

What a CUTE idea! I wish I had the willpower to wait to find out the sex but if they could have told me at 5 wks I would have wanted to know!.......Like the PP said do you think your mom will really be able to keep that envelope sealed???!?!  Bravo to you and DH though for willpower!

My mom definitely wouldn't open it if I told her not to! She actually kept the pregnancy a secret (which I thought would have been impossible for her) until we had our u/s at 11 weeks.
I actually told her the idea already and she LOVED it. It will be especially nice b/c she and the rest of my family live in NY and we live in FL so when we go up for the shower some family members will be seeing me for the first time pregnant.

Just a thought..since you are finding out the sex anyway maybe do it before your shower so you get gender specific items? Just a thought!!...I still think its amazing you would want to share that experience with your family......the room will be silent for sure!

That's the thing, I don't want all pink or all blue stuff. I actually like green and yellow and most of the baby stuff we like as of now is mostly neutral anyway.

we are SO on the same page! We're not revealing the sex to everyone until the shower...for that EXACT reason! I LOVE green and yellow stuff - frogs and duckies are my FAVORITES!!!!!!!!!!!
At the shower - i'll have a shirt on that says what we're having....and we'll give a prize to those who guessed correctly based on how i'm carrying....

I think your family is going to be so honored that you included them in such a personal moment!....You will probably not have a dry eye in the place...good tears of course!

Cute idea - I have a silly question though, who will be picking up the cake? Won't they see the color then, or maybe you can ask the bakery to put it in a white box and wrap it up tight

That is such a cute idea...We are doing something similar.
We are going to have the tech write it on a paper & seal it in an envelope. Then DH & I are going to go to a nice dinner & will open it together. This way we can share in the moment instead of hearing the tech say it.
Then we will announce it to family on Easter (since our level 2 will be right before that)

I think the blue or pink will be in the middle of the cake...inside.
I think it's a great idea!!!!
