I actually went to a gender reveal party for a horse/mare that was pregnant. My friend breeds horses - about one a year. That was a fun party. Although the horse did not appreciate the fireworks (exploding balloon filled with blue glitter).

Gender reveal parties are fuckin stupid as shit
What's even worse is the one-upmanship that has taken off with these.
Is that really a thing
Surely you've seen the over-the-top absurdity on social media.
I have, a little, I'm not on most social media anymore. But I didn't think it was competitive, just grandiosity? Or maybe that was the joke?
Nope, just fucking stupid.
You'll see lots of giant clean mall crawl pickups at these.
Especially in the middle of a pandemic.
Sex party is a much better term. Baby’s don’t have a gender yet.
Preliminary gender assignment party.
Sex reveal party.
Sex party obviously has some differing connotations that are very innapropriate in the context of babies.
How, do you believe, babies are made in the first place?
Sex reveal party, revealing we had sex
I'm pretty sure the kind of people that do these parties are already going around telling their families and friends (and probably internet strangers) that they were having unprotected sex on the regular, no need to have a party to reveal what you've already told everyone
It's also great for advertisement.
Narrator "It was in fact a sex party"
I mean, granny is closer to the truth anyway.
First half response, "where?" Second half response, "goose?"
What happens in the retirement home stays in the retirement home.
Except syphilis. Gotta make sure that doesn't spread to the wider community.
By far the most interesting part is what those questions were...
