Always thought these events were attention-grabbing abominations.[/quote]

I'm pretty sure that the vast majority of gender reveals don't involve pyrotechnics in dry forest.

Gender reveal isn't my style, but I think it's a little unfair to blame people who bite into cupcakes with blue or pink filling or something like that, because some idiot set off fireworks in the forest during fire season.  [/quote]

+1.  It's fine to have a bit of fun without being look at me or over the top.  For our first we sent pink flowers to each set of grandparents with a card saying "It's a girl!"  They each called us elated when they got the flowers and they felt super special.  It was very fun.

For our second we brought a cake with a pink inside to a family dinner.  No special event, just our weekly Sunday dinner with the grandparents, aunts, uncles and cousins.  It was fun for everyone to find out together.

There's nothing wrong with making life feel a bit special.  [/quote]

There’s nothing wrong with what you did.  The problem is when people feel the need to do above and beyond and then FILM it for the whole world to see. [/quote]
