The Gender Reveal Party – How Did This Trend Get Started?

The Gender Reveal Party – How Did This Trend Get Started?

Back in the good ‘ole days, gender determination meant waiting until baby’s birth to find out if it was a boy or girl. Then, 2D ultrasound technology allowed trained professionals to determine that baby’s gender while still in utero. At that time, if gender determination was made, it was often discussed on site. Today, registered sonographers still play a big part in gender determination. However, in many cases, instead of telling the parents right away, they keep the “secret” so mom and dad can share the surprise with their family and friends at a gender reveal party.  You’ve seen the videos all over the news and internet.  Balloons and baseballs burst with blue or pink powder, cannons shoot blue or pink confetti, smoke bombs erupt in pink or blue smoke, etc.  Although the gender reveal party concept seems fairly new, it actually started almost a decade ago.  According to an article in the Washington Post, gender reveal videos began hitting YouTube back in 2009.  The trend then really took off in 2011 and continues to thrive.  In 2017, there was a 6o% increase in gender reveal video views compared to 2016.

For Centuries, All Children Wore White Dresses

For Centuries, All Children Wore White Dresses

For centuries, all children – boys and girls – wore white dresses until around six years of age. The early 1900s and 1920s saw a surge in people preferring color, however, some publications and retailers recommended that boys wear pink and girls wear blue, the opposite of what we see today.  The mid-1960s women’s liberation movement made gender neutral clothing popular again.

Then, in the 1980s, gender determination technology became widely available.  This caused the trend shift back to gender-specific, similar to what it was in the 1950s. Many of the color schemes were driven by retailers as mommies and daddies-to-be flocked to the stores after their gender revel to start purchasing gender specific clothes and furniture.

View A Miracle offers the most advanced technology available for gender determination.  Gender determination can be made with 95%-99% accuracy beginning at 12 weeks, and 100% accuracy after 16 weeks.  We also offer packages and party space for you to conduct an exciting gender reveal party with your family and friends.  Are you interested in knowing what color to start decorating your nursery?  If so, contact us to book your gender determination appointment and gender reveal party today.

It Wasn’t Always Pink and Blue

It Wasn’t Always Pink and Blue

Today’s parents-to-be make gender determination and gender reveal an event to share with their family and friends.  Gender reveal parties usually involve a group of loved ones who gather to see which color confetti is stuffed in the balloons, what color powder comes out of a baseball, etc.  Pink means a baby girl is on the way; blue means it is a boy.

Gender determination ultimately answers the big question of what to expect for your future. Finding out baby’s gender early allows you the opportunity to bond sooner than ever before. What colors will you choose to decorate the nursery? What names are possibilities? What clothing should you hold onto from relatives or your previous pregnancies? Interestingly enough, “pink” for girls and “blue” for boys is actually a fairly new concept.  According to an article on Smithsonian.com, baby clothing was essentially gender neutral until around the 1940s when manufacturers and retailers started interpreting and marketing toward the preferences of American’s. Baby boomers are considered the first generation to be raised in gender-specific clothing.

Gender Determination – Do I Want to Know?

Gender determination is something that should not be taken lightly.  Some couples want to know while others are somewhat apprehensive.  In some cases, couples are split on wanting to know.  At the end of the day, gender determination is a private decision that should be made together.  Below are some thoughts to consider as you determine whether gender determination is right for you.

Knowing Ahead of Time

If gender determination is something you and your significant other have decided upon then we can help!  Our registered sonographers are experienced with gender ultrasound.  You can choose to come as early as 6 weeks for early gender DNA blood tests which is 99.5% accurate. If you want to find out at 12 weeks through 2D ultrasound, our registered sonographers can show you baby’s gender with 95-99% accuracy. After 16 weeks, baby’s gender is 100% accurate.  You may want to host your private gender reveal or baby shower on-site by renting our party room to accommodate up to 25 of your guests.Gender Determination – Do I Want to Know?

Waiting

There is absolutely nothing wrong with waiting to find out the gender of your baby. If gender determination is not something you both have agreed upon together, then it is certainly alright to wait.  The decision is yours and yours alone.  Our registered sonographers can still perform your 3D and 4D ultrasounds.  And, you can still have a baby shower.  It’s just that you choose to enjoy being surprised on the day your precious little one is born!!
