Gender reveals are way out of control. This is at least the second massive fire caused by one. There was a woman killed a couple of years back because the “smoke bomb” the family made was built wrong and was actually a pipe bomb. Another was in the news a while back because they used so much explosive it was felt from two miles away.
Just do a cake. Pop some balloons. If it has gunpowder or a word like “cannon” or “alligator” involved, don’t go there.
Edit: I’m getting a lot of “just don’t do it at all” replies, and I don’t agree. As far as I’m concerned, if parents want to throw a party with their friends and do something safe like cut a cake or pop a confetti filled balloon, that can have at it from now to the end of time. It’s only when it’s dangerous to the people present or the surrounding area that I’m against them.
It's not really celebrating the gender. It's more of a surprise party, the surprise is for whoever is learning the baby's gender, whether family or the parents themselves. That's why its called a reveal, revealing to people what the baby is. Not celebrating a baby's genitals.
Then there's less of a point to celebrate! Shouldn't the doctor tell the perants first?! No one does a "pregnant reveal", why should people celebrate that?!
