Seems like this kind of party could be used for gift extortion, but that depends totally on who is throwing it and how it's done. My first inclination is going to be to take a gift, no matter how much the person claimed they didn't want one, but I guess that my problem.... If you want to do it and don't want to put your friends into the "awkward gift thing" why not just have a party with no specifically named purpose and just happen to decorate in pink or blue or bring out a gender reveal cake in the middle of it? :shrug:
So what kind of gift would you think you're supposed to bring...something for the parents or for the baby? I'm asking because I'm not sure why anyone would assume they'd need to bring a gift. I've had two gender reveal parties, never mentioned anything about gifts and luckily nobody showed up with one. If someone had brought me a gift, I would've felt just as awkward and would've felt obligated to give them a gift in return
These kind of parties are becoming pretty popular and I think people like to call it a "gender reveal party" because they're excited to reveal/find out the gender of their baby. And now that you know gifts aren't 'typical' or 'expected' (in most cases, though I'm sure there are some greedy ass people out there....jerks!), don't bring a gift
My friend waited until she had her baby to find out. They were tickled PINK!
If we have a third we'll wait, because that in and of itself would be a surprise!
We plan on TWO babies, that's it, and I'm baking our second one right now

I'm not bringing a gift, I asked if she wanted me to bring anything like food and she said absolutly NOT and just to bring ourselves which I think is a pretty good certainty I shouldn't bring a gift.

Yep, no gifts. It's their party, their celebration and they want you to be a part of it. Let them feed you

I'm with you guys. I've never heard of one of these. After reading the thread title, in this day and age, I wasn't sure what to expect.
