Couple pull out the stops for their OTT gender reveal party but people are horrified at how far they take it
A DUO of parents have been slammed for their OTT gender reveal party, with people horrified at the high risk of a forest fire.
The Spanish-speaking couple took to TikTok to share the big news but quickly ended up getting reaction they probably had not been hoping for.
Since being uploaded a few weeks ago, the video has taken the internet by storm for all the wrong reasons, racking up a whopping 21.3million views.
At the start of the now-viral clip, the parents could be seen standing with their two daughters in front of a massive arch of balloons.
But within seconds, it all changes, as the mum and dad found out they’re expecting another baby girl to join the family.
However, as adorable as the news was, social media users were horrified at the sheer volume of confetti and sparks shooting up in the air.
With trees just behind the four, many pointed out that this could’ve even started a fire in the dry area.
One mortified TikTok fan exclaimed in horror: ”Eucalyptus leaves explode when heated up to high.
”By The Way this could’ve ended mega bad.”
Someone else was lost for words, writing: ”dude what are people thinking, this could have gone wrong in so many ways.”
”baby announcement or forest fire ?” a third raced to comment.
The two parents are not the first ones to go viral with their gender reveal party – one mum-to-be’s reaction got everyone talking on social media.

Determined to add a little twist to his gender reveal party, one man, believed to be from Australia, thought it’d be a good idea to prank the mum-to-be.
Ready with a camera, one of the guests, who posts on TikTok under the username @Papa Was Here, filmed the event – and things escalated pretty quickly.
In the video, which has since gone viral, the man could be seen holding a black balloon, which had loads of confetti inside.
But as the duo, the woman and the man, gathered together for the big reveal, the father suddenly let go off the black balloon by ”accident”.
Of course, everyone is shocked, screaming in sheer horror.
But one person was particularly upset – the man’s partner.
In disbelief, she immediately dashed away, saying: ”Oh my God! This is what I mean – he is f***ing dumb!”
Shaking her head in shock, she didn’t smile and added yet again: ”This is what I mean – he’s so dumb…”
However, the man then pointed out to something – the real balloon they were meant to pop and immediately the woman started smiling.
After lots of laughing, a kiss and a countdown, she popped the balloon and the two found out they were going to be parents to a baby girl.
But as adorable as this moment was, people on social media couldn’t help but notice the woman’s initial reaction, which some described as a red flag.
One mortified viewer wished the man well in the future: ”Good luck with her.”
Another agreed, writing: ” “This is what I mean”. So she’s been talkin about it for some time. Best of luck.”
”She walked back giggling like I didn’t just diss my man ahhahahahhaha,” someone else added.
”She reacts really fast. Worried about u my brother,” a fellow TikTok was concerned.
