calling everyone and then just posting the gender on FB...ok
I told the people I wanted to know that are important to me like my parents, most of these were done in person unless distance was an issue. I didn't post on facebook. The wife did because she is more attention whorey than me.

so let me get this logic
calling everyone and then just posting the gender on FB...ok
but having everyone over and feeding them and telling everyone the gender in person and at the same time...not ok
awesome logic OT
His post was the best in the thread so far. Tell everyone you know on Facebook by posting an ultrasound pic is awesome and okay.
Add food. You trashy arse beta bitch homo!

Meh, maybe I shouldn't have called you stupid... And I can see what you're referring to
Let me try to make my point a little more clear:
Full blown gender reveal party - way over the top & too much
Announcing the sex of your baby via one simple post - not too bad
There are a lot of family members that don't live around me or that I don't talk to on the phone too much and I know that they wanted to know what we were having... It's a simple and effective way to relay a message to everyone without having to be on the phone all day (which I hate doing)
Sorry for calling you stupid, haven't had my cup of whiskey yet

You really can't see the difference between a planned event and a post on social media?
How about a group text?
Same flawed logic?
Wow. You dumb.

How is that wrong? You don't want to take responsibility for the party by deflecting it to your friends wanting to do it. They made sure to plan it the day you found out. Your friends planned how you would reveal the gender to the people you care about, they did it for you.

It's an excuse to have a party with people you are close to. I can understand how people can see it as a ME ME ME attention thing, and sometimes it may be; however, if it were me, I'd just have fun getting together with my friends and getting drunk while all the women go act all womeny.

hmm let's see
a post on social media will be seen by everyone that you are "friends" with, a lot of people that probably don't care
now with the planned event, only the people that actually care show up, so those are the only people that we tell
so now tell me, which was is more attention whorish?

I just want to say that I love free food and booze. I also enjoy hanging out with most of my friends.
This anomaly on here is quite entertaining to me right now
And that's all these parties are about, at least the ones that I've attended.

Is okay, your name change must be the culprit.

I know I'm late to the thread, but I don't see the big deal here.

I am sure your party had tons of pictures posted on instagram/pinterest/facebook. So him just posting on one is pale in comparison.

I understand that.
But fact is it's more important thing for the girls to do.
I have enough sense to realize my guy friends don't care.
They are all happy for us but they don't need a party to show that.
So therefore I wouldn't expect them to come.
My wife wants one, fine.
Invite all your girl friends and relatives, I'll pay for the entire thing.
Knock yourselves out.

I don't think it's a big deal, but I think it's dumb and attention whoring at it's finest.

Sshhhhhhh not to many people know about that
Which side of the fence are you on about this shite? Jw

They planned the party. They may have not made the announcement, but they dictated the place and time. They did it for you, you just made a short announcement. You were the cake of the party.
