My best friend in FL is going to be a grandma! What's the deal on these gender-reveal parties? We never had those in my day.
Is it like a baby shower where you take a gift? I need answers from you young people that have done this before. LOL.
 
It's just another attention grab "look at me!" thing.

Hahah! That is what I was thinking. Another excuse to post your personal life on social media.

Our gender reveal party went like this:

CZfool dials phone. Mom answers. Hey Mom, we’re having a girl.

I get that it's to know the gender of the baby.

****What I need to know is: do attendees bring a gift, like you do to a baby shower?****

Also, I've seen the videos on the forum of the shooting of the tannerite with pink/blue powder in it....awesome way to tell everyone the sex of the baby! LOL.

I have never been to one but I don’t think you need to bring a gift. And they probably have not registered anywhere yet since they don’t know the sex of the baby yet. This is just what I think. If someone has actually been to one they would be a better person to advise

I would say if you're invited, bring a gift. At the very least, a token.

My vote would be the pacifier with the volume control knob on it. That's about as genderless as you can get.

Bring booze and you’ll be good to go.

Awesome until you set a wildfire that wipes out 50k acres of national park land and does $8mil in damage...
 
Sorry if anyone on the forum has had one but I think they are absurd. What ever happened to just letting family and friends know??
 
I would say no gift since genderless gifts suck and if they wanted a gift from you they would have had a shower like normal human beings.

LoL. I bet a baby shower is going to happen as well.....
 
My advice is...
don’t go.

Tell them you're planning to have some communicable disease that day.
Good one!

(I don't plan to go, just want to know what the acceptable thing to do is. I'm not a fan of Florida!)
 
I wonder is some snowflake has a GRP with a cake with 72+ (or however many they think it is now) different colors to represent all the different "genders" the nonhuman living thing may eventually choose as its identity when it becomes a human baby and grows old enough to decide.

3 genders; masculine, feminine, and neuter. 2 sexes; male and female

I’m even willing to buy into the idea of being fluid between masculine and feminine... but I don’t want to name all those possibilities.
 
So if there are 73,457 different genders now,why are there only pink and blue options.

"Is it like a baby shower where you take a gift?"
yes.
it completes the Trifecta.
reveal, shower, birth.

We did it at our baby shower for our second kid( we thought it would be out last), so we went big, catered in food, rented a place, beer, whine, and invited all of our friends and family. We had a lot of fun, everyone that was there did.
We weren't expecting to have a third, it took medicine and trying to have the first, it took years of trying and two miscarriages to have the second, so we didnt think that a third would be so easy. We decided to do it old fashioned with the third and elected not to find out. It was a surprise to everyone when he arrived, and truthfully if we could go back we would have done them all that way.

No, you don’t bring a gift to a gender reveal unless you’re trying extra hard. As I shared a couple months ago, we did a gender reveal with tannerite, and only 5 people including my over the top mother brought gifts out of the 30 in attendance.
Gender reveal parties are definitely a new kind of thing and I knew my wife would want to do one so I made sure to make it a little more fun. A few of the non-gun people even commented how cool it was and better than they expected.

No gift. It’s a chance to get your close family/people who might actually care together and tell them at the same time. I don’t see it as a “look at me” thing since those people you invite (again it shouldn’t be a huge party) are generally going to be involved in the kid’s life and likely want to know the gender anyways
