The woman that 'created' these said they need to stop. In a recent case, a father killed himself accidently setting up one. They are of little value to many Americans, too.

i dislike gender reveal parties because i think it's just a waste of time and also what if the child is trans or non-binary?

American here. I don't get that either.

Even most Americans think this is stupid

Yeah live in Texas never been to one we just text each other ultra sounds and say the gender why waste money for a party

Ok. This is so confusing. We only know the sex of the baby at birth, right? We don't know the gender until they themselves understand their own gender, correct? Then why would people have a gender reveal party during pregnancy? Plus...fires.

Every kid gets a gender reveal party, it´s called birth.

You aren't even revealing the gender, you are revealing the sex.

The gender reveal of my boy: I was at an ultrasound with a friend of mine, week 12 of pregnancy. Doctor: do you want to know the gender of your baby Me: Ok! Doctor: it seems to be a boy Me: Cool! That was it :)

Just kinda weird. You're having a baby. Do we honestly give a toss what gender it is?

This gender reveal party became popular around the time social media became popular. It's just another attention grabbing look at me thing that the younger generations embrace to show off on their Instagram.

The Net is overloaded with these stupid videos.

Yeah, whenever I reveal my gender, I get arrested for public indecency.

It's okay so long as your not setting the environment in fire. How do people even manage to do this?

Stop. Just stop. Grow up, you are having a baby. Most of us do. In 1973 I had twins and I liked them both.

Yeah, what's next? Baby's first poopie party?

A waste of time and money unless you sell the things used to make the reveal.

Can someone just tell me why this is so bad? I’m sure I will change my mind after I hear the reasons. I’m indifferent. 🧐

I see lots of negative comments. But why? (Except fires). Why would you be against them? What is so bad just to have fun and just another occasion to meet with family and friends? What about birthday parties? I personally found them really strange. Because we have only one birthday! X years ago. And all others are not our birthdays. But days when the new year count for our passport and other documents starts. Moreover (another argument in this thread) - who cares... Nonetheless, I have never been against birthday parties. Let’s have some fun.

Habemus papam :)

i've always imagined them as a bunch of people staring at a kid. then there is a drumroll and parents lift the blanket covering child's genitalia.

We had a gender reveal cake for our latest baby. It was just my wife and I and our 3 girls. It was a really sweet way for us all to find out at the same time.

Trust me , not all Americans are into this. But if you want to laugh, look up gender reveal memes

more like biological sex reveal parties... because they can change their GENDER if they want

I think a caveat should be added onto that. *over the top gender reveal parties should not be a thing. My sister had cupcakes made and filmed her oldest eating it to find out if he was getting a brother or sister. Little, cute things like that are ok. Starting wildfires for a stunt is not.

Here you go a reenactment of every gender reveal party Mother: Ok guys we're going to open the box take out the fireworks and set them off in this dry forest Father:I hope it's a boy Mother: weird way to pronounce girl *generic laughter* Crowd:*More generic laughter except for that one girl who laughs like a witch* Mother Father: *opens box, purple balloons float up, puts fireworks of dry leaves* Mother Father: Ok guys in 3......2...1... cut to giant forest fire *silence* Mother: IT'S A GIRL crowd: *feels no regret* YES SUCK IT DAD Thank you thank you *takes bow* Really tough all you have to do is get your family together and go hey fam the baby is a female but that does not mean they are a girl. and were going to let them be their own person. and boom you're done with no fire (btw Im american and gender reveal parties are the dumbest thing ever)

Never been to one.

see to many butthead do this and have it literally blow up in their face. Really stupid thing to do

Gender reveal parties angers the transgender community

But their actually super fun because you get the suspense of finding out they gender in super fine and exciting ways

I think there dumb but they like it so let them have fun, it's not hurting anyone. I wonder what the whole trans gender people do, like purple or orange. Isn't it sexist to assume a sex now a days...?
