gender reveal opinions

Katelyn

So my husband and I will find out what we are having at 12 weeks with NIPT. I want to do a gender reveal, not for my husband and I, but for our families and close friends. My MIL is having a cow saying "that its not how gender reveals are done. the whole point is for everyone to find out at the same time." I wanted to do it to see everyones reaction and I really dont see why it matters...its my husband and I decision. Opinions???
