Whew! When I saw the tread title, I assumed this was some form of "new age" trans party where everyone has to guess everyone elses gender and then....

*shudder*

See, I thought it was for 6 year olds when "they" decided what gender they wanted to be, despite the hardware they were born with.
 
:shrug: Do you bring a gift? food? I'm so out of the loop?

Nope, neither. We did a gender reveal thing for each our littlen's and never expected for anyone to bring anything. As a matter of fact, if someone had brought something I would've felt so awkward. They (the hosts of the party, ya know...the one knocked up and the one that planted the seed :lol:) should be feeding you :smile:

So what is the proper gift, if at the gender reveal party, everyone finds out that they are transgender?
 
I've never even heard of a Gender Reveal party, but it sounds like another 'gimme some stuff' scams. I agree about the shower, but I don't think it's out of the question to throw a shower for a second child if it's not of the same gender as the first. I'd sure hate to see Junior running around in a little pink dress.

Gender Reveal's aren't 'gimme some stuff' scams, at least not for us. With our first, we were super excited to tell everyone and...well, I wanted to eat cake :lol: and for the second, we wanted to make sure he/she had the same awesome pictures as our first (we did a cake for the first and balloons in a box for the second), plus who doesn't want a cook out? :shrug: hehe

And my SIL is throwing us a shower for baby #2, though we didn't expect one. Our son was born last February and our daughter is due in September. We did a registry but didn't tell anyone, we wanted to be able to get a discount on buying what we'd need (nothing big, we got gender neutral stuff the first time so we wouldn't have to do it again...swing, pack n play, etc)...Babies R Us is awesome like that. Then people started asking where we registered so we made it public (though it's not like we advertised our registry or anything, only in the invitations and if people ask...like co-workers or something, pretty sure they're doing something in the office to celebrate lil Ava :smile:)

Well this is the 2nd one I've been invited to in the past year. This one is for a friend of mine whose currenlty got an 18 month old, so I'm guessing the shower for the new baby is out of the question :shrug: IDK?? So when do you give a gift if there is no shower?

They might have a shower if it's the opposite sex than their first baby :shrug:

If we were having another boy, we'd opt for NO shower. We might do a celebration type cookout or something but no gifts or anything.

I think they do the reveal, so when they have the baby shower you know which sex the baby is to buy gifts for. :shrug:

I did the reveal because it gave me a chance to eat cake.....then a cookout, hehe

That's a great idea !! I mean lets face it, being preggers while having a toddler already deserves SOMETHING !!

That's nice but I still don't think it's really necessary, unless you're trying to one-up everyone else at the party :lol:

Wow, i am glad this thread worked out the way it did, that is a relief. I was thinking along the lines of Gilligan, and itsbob. Had never heard of the term gender party, till this thread.

Late to the party, here :frown: I wouldn't expect gifts at a gender reveal party. I had planned on having one for little girl but she kept her legs tightly crossed until almost the very end. I had planned on ordering a cake (that did the blue/pink inside) and putting the hubby on grill duty. It was not at all intended as a gift grab as we kept everything from the boy and are perfectly capable of supporting the children we spawn.

If you absolutely have to give a gift, don't give it there because of the whole awkward thing. Give after bebe is born or some other time.

See, this is why nomoney confuses me. "She whips it out". :bawl: She'll post all masculine and then say something really feminine and make me feel all gay inside.


There's nothing wrong with that you know. Feeling gay. I mean hell, the other morning I was looking in the mirror, shaving my day old beard and I thought to myself " hell nomo...you are one hot dude.......mmm mmm mmm" Then I realized that I forogot to by tampons.
