No.

i saw one somewhere on FB, a friend of a friend, and they shot guns with colored bullets (not paint ball guns, I don't think) onto a bullseye with "buck or doe"

Oh the lolz that I had.

No

We did the Materni21 test a few weeks before Christmas and it told us the sex, so we had the doctor's office print out the results and put it in an envelope. We opened it together on Christmas morning as a special treat.

We just told people in regular conversations that it's a girl.

We revealed the sex at the same time as the pregnancy on social media, after we called our families/texted our closest friends to let them know.

I'm normally pretty uptight about sex versus gender, but it seems weird to use the proper term and have a sex reveal party and invite your grandma.

I have not had a party of this sort, nor have I attended one.

They don't bug me, though. They probably would have bugged me a lot more when I was younger. I guess I've mellowed with age, lol.

No. I did get a cake and gave the bakery the sealed envelope so on New Years Eve, just DH and I and the girls cut into it and found it was a boy together. They loved finding out at the same time we did, and cake.

Maybe she just hated the person so much anyway, it didn't take much to drive her over the edge?

I too am curious.
