Gender Reveal Ideas

Gender reveal parties are turning into a big thing, some of them are even starting to rival baby showers; so, the first question you have to ask yourself is: to party, or not to party? Here are a few factors to consider:

3. Is this going to stress me out?
4. Am I doing this because I want to, or because I feel pressured, or obligated to?
