Gender reveal parties and baby showers are experiencing a decline in popularity in the UK, according to Google search data, with a 28% drop in gender reveal search terms in the past year and a 21% decrease for baby showers over the last three years.

Celebrities like Khloe Kardashian continue to fuel these trends, which originated in the US.
“More and more people are choosing to throw birthday bashes for their furry pals rather than traditional events like baby showers or gender reveals.” Says Topdog co-owner Vanessa Applin.
“Our pets are more than just animals, they’re part of the family. Plus, who can resist those cute pet party pics blowing up on social media? Celebrating our pups’ special day isn’t just a trend, it’s a tribute to the amazing bond we share with our four-legged buddies.”
