Gender Reveals, promposals and other new life events you now need to celebrate
Written by Niki Bruce
Gone are the days of private celebrations for a birthday or wedding anniversary, now you have the chance to throw a public bash for your divorce, the revealing of your baby’s sex, a proposal… Just about everything really.
Life events have now become something that apparently need to be shared with the whole world, not just your friends and family.
You can announce the surprise reveal of your baby’s sex via fireworks and balloons – although do be careful not to start a US$8.2 million fire – or invite someone to the prom via America’s Got Talent; private events are now public entertainment.

Is it all due to FOMO – the fear of missing out? Or are there other reasons apart from social media that mean people want to create public events to celebrate their life goals?
Since more and more people are now moving away from home, or working longer and longer hours, trying to create a ‘special occasion’ to reach out to friends and family could definitely be one reason for all the new ‘celebrations’.
The relative ease with which you can organise a major event now via online and social media apps has also added to the increase in special event celebrations.
