I'll be honest. I never knew gender reveal parties were even a thing until a couple years ago. The idea sounds so ridiculous. Is this a recently American thing? I don't even remember it ever happening when I lived there.

The parties and elaborate displays really took off in the mid-2010s, but it was often a big deal to announce it.

ETA: also, the original reveal party was done by a "mommyblogger" who held it because she and her partner were excited about their pregnancy after dealing with infertility issues. Slightly more understandable, but then people ran off with the concept. As others mentioned down thread, she has disavowed the concept since then and also hans a gnc child fwiw.

That makes sense. I left the US in 2011.

It's definitely a new thing. I remember first seeing these around 2015ish.
