You're confusing sex with gender

I want a sex reveal party. Who’s having sex in the bedroom right now? Let’s find out!

[-] TWeaK@lemm.ee 14 points 2 years ago

Isn't that basically what they did at weddings in times gone by?

Very interesting, I appreciate the link.

Which no one would then know at the point of a typical gender reveal party.

A baby is a baby! Don't need an excuse to celebrate new life. :)

In the off chance I ever reproduce, I want "I'm pregnant, chips and dips party!" style events. Everyone wins at those.

People generally expect you to have an excuse, though. Otherwise, you get your one baby shower (only the first baby!) and anything else is tacky. I think that's why gender reveals caught on so fast. The parents and, maybe, grandparents are grasping at excuses to celebrate. And why people find them so cringe in general. Everyone else is a bit annoyed you're getting more than your one party.

That's called a baby shower.

Not with that attitude
