[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I really hate knowing the gender ahead of time. My friends post their gender and the name at the same time and it's sort of anticlimatic. Obviously not everyone feels that way though.

I truly wish there was a party you could have, like a shower, but without gifts. [/quote]

There is. It's called a party. [/b]

"Please come to my house/pool/boat/sex dungeon/whatever for a party! I'm super exicted to have such wonderful friends to share my life with."[/quote]

I love you!!!  For sure I'll invite you to the next party at my pool/sex dungeon![/quote]
+1 Nothing wrong with throwing a party, as long as you're not asking for gifts! The gender reveal is the silly part. No one cares nearly as much as you do, it's a dumb exercise in gender stereotyping, and it definitely comes off as attention-seeking/a gift grab. Just have a regular party to spend time with family and friends pre-baby and don't make it all "me me me my pregnancy is so special and unique." [/quote]
