Seriously. I wouldn’t go to a gender reveal bc I think it’s a stupid attention grab from people. Look at me look at me nonsense. To ever request a specific color from a guest is so inappropriate. I hate narcissists who want everyone to facilitate their stupid calculated instagram photos.

Wear whatever you want! No one cares.

Also, it’s a sex party. XX or XY.
Gender is later.

Why can’t we call it what it is?


A sex party is a little different.

This is the shade of green that all babies wore in the 70's because no one knew ahead of time whether the baby was a girl or a boy.

Definitely wear it, and have the gender construct/tacky AF manifesto ready as your explanation.

The correct answer would be to wear a purple dress, which is a mix of pink & blue, because you have no idea what the child’s true gender will be. Gender assigned at birth is irrelevant.

Wear the green to “vote” that gender is a social construct, not images on an ultrasound, and assigning colors based on body parts is stupid. And that gender reveal parties are tacky AF, telling your guests what to wear is also tacky AF and doing both is capitalized Tacky AF Squared. Also be sure to film the reveal so if/when something explodes, catches fire, breaks, or otherwise goes painfully wrong you have some social media content.

Or if you don’t feel that way and are happy to attend, wear something else that’s blue or pink.


+1. You articulated exactly what I was thinking!

Ageist much?


No. Some clothes just read young. If OP is a typical DCUMer then she is likely in her late 30s and this will look a little silly.


I think it looks great.

That dress is (a) green and (b) hideous.

Nobody cares what you wear to the gender reveal.

Just wear what you want and if anyone asks, tell them you didn’t have anything pink or blue that was appropriate for the weather/ season/ party, so you wore something you owned and liked and were comfortable in.
