My pregnant cousin is having a gender reveal party tomorrow. I feel like I should bring a gift, but on the other hand I'm not so sure if its necessary. She will be having a baby shower in a few months. What is the etiquette for these types of parties?

good question.. I'd prbably be thinking the same thing. I guess I would feel odd not at least bringing a card or gift card. I know with DS it was after finding out the gender that it was the most exciting time to get shopping! So maybe a gift card would be nice then a more "thought out" gift at the shower?
I probably wouldn't bring a gift unless it was also a shower. It's my perception that the reveal parties are just to share good news, I don't see them as gift giving necessarily. I'd give something when the baby arrived though.
My MIL brought two outfits, wrapped to my gender reveal. When we found out, she gave us the "boy" package (and I assume, returned the girl outfit). It was reslly special and our first gender specific item.
I don't think a gift is necessary, but it certainly would be appreciated if you'd like to get one!
