GENDER REVEAL PARTY
For fetuses that don’t get
enough parties, there is the
gender reveal. Expectant
parents cut into a cake
to reveal blue or pink icing to
their friends and family — and
often post video of the event to
YouTube for the general public.

DIVORCE PARTY
For some couples, even the demise of an unhappy marriage
deserves an audience. Heather Mills spent a reported 250,000
pounds throwing herself a Caribbean divorce party after she split
from Paul McCartney, and Shanna Moakler celebrated her 2006
separation from Travis Barker with a soiree that included a cake
featuring a bloody groom.

WAXING PARTY
Some people like to
get their intimate
waxing done in a
private room as
quickly as possible,
and others prefer
to make it a social
event, pubic dye and
bling optional.
A sprinkle is
supposed to be
a less elaborate
shower for a
second- or thirdtime mom who has
already received
baby gifts from
her friends. Gifts
are still more
or less the point.
