When expectant parents learn the sex of their baby, they may decide to share the news in an exciting way (and even be surprised themselves). The tradition has become so popular, it’s spawned countless viral videos, photos and Pinterest boards.
Here are seven creative examples from real parents.

Home Run Announcement
DAVID SWAYZE PHOTOGRAPHY
Monique Tello and Steven Statter channeled their love of baseball into an epic sex reveal. Tello's sister Marissa was the only person to learn the sex of their baby after her ultrasound. She then filled a clear plastic Christmas ornament with powdered chalk -- choosing between pink powder for a girl or blue for a boy -- and painted it to look like a baseball.
One afternoon at a baseball diamond with friends and family, Tello pitched the ornament baseball to Statter, who hit it with his bat and released a storm of pink powder.
