gender reveal & baby shower same day

alison

has anyone had to have their reveal and baby shower on the same day? Only 3 people know the gender, My mother and father and then my SO mother. BUT its being done the same day and sooner than expected becausd my SO is being deployed on the 6th of July and will miss the ending of my pregnancy so we wantes him to be apart of everything. Just wondering if i should have a small party at the end of pregnancy for gender themed gifts or is that asking for too much?
