Gender reveal parties are a new and popular trend that is taking the world by storm. These parties have become a hit among expecting parents and their friends and family members. A gender reveal party is a celebration where expectant parents reveal the gender of their baby to their loved ones. The moment is usually captured on camera, and the event is shared on social media platforms. A gender reveal party can be a fun and exciting way to announce the sex of your baby, but opinions on the trend are divided.

There are a few ways to reveal the gender of a baby at a gender reveal party. The traditional way is to use a cake that is filled with either blue or pink frosting. The expectant parents will cut the cake in front of their guests, and the color inside will reveal the baby’s gender. Another popular method is to fill a piñata with either pink or blue confetti. When the piñata is broken, the confetti will fly out, revealing the baby’s gender. Balloons are also a common way to reveal the gender of a baby. The balloons will either be filled with blue or pink powder or be released into the air to show the chosen color.

Gender reveal parties allow the parents-to-be to celebrate the anticipation of their baby’s arrival with loved ones. The celebrations should signify attributes specific to the parents, such as hobbies or activities that they enjoy, that they would like to extend to their child. Some parents choose to coordinate out the color of the party based on the gender of the unborn child, with some still following traditional blue for boys and pink for girls gender roles.

However, while gender reveal parties may seem like a harmless way to celebrate an expectant baby, they have recently come under scrutiny. Critics argue that gender reveal parties perpetuate the idea that gender is binary and creates social distinctions that can have an impact on a child’s behavior and identity.

It’s true that pink and blue are stereotypical gender colors, inevitably leading to gender norms towards girls and boys that can be problematic. Parents often enforce strict gender stereotypes, which can constrain their child’s options and unnecessarily limit their possible futures. The ritual of revealing gender obscures the deeper complexity of biological sex, gender identity, and gender expression.

The most fundamental criticism of gender-revealing parties is the questionable necessity of them. Some people argue whether the gender of an unborn child should be made public by throwing a party. The gender of a baby should not have to be unknown, just like the gender of an adult should not be unknown. The question also arises then what those parents who choose to raise their child as gender-neutral because they don’t want to restrict them to any gender roles implying someone can be anything they desire, as people shouldn’t be limited to their sex identity so young.

Overall, the idea of the gender reveal party is a novel concept, a way to celebrate with family and friends while also revealing the gender of the baby. Some love the idea while others find it problematic. In the end, it’s a personal preference for each expectant parent to decide whether to throw a gender reveal party or not. It should be a day that’s joyous and celebratory regardless of being a party or not. A day to celebrate the milestone of having a child, regardless of their gender. While they’re exciting, gender reveal parties should be free of bombastic stereotypes, respecting the complexity of gender identity, expression and understanding so the day will be joyful for everyone.
