Early gender reveal or baby shower ?

Angie 🌻
My SO and I decided that he will know the babies sex and I will wait. The problem is we want a gender reveal (sex reveal better worded) but he says it's not a good idea because everyone will want to bring a "neutral" gift and it'll just be complicated. He said maybe we should do a private "sex reveal" and then have a baby shower. I really wanted to find out during the gender reveal with everyone but I'm curious as to what ideas you beautiful gals may have?
