CULTURAL SIGNIFIERS: Vasectomy Parties are the New Trend for Couples Going ‘Child-Free.’ “Vasectomy parties can be compared to baby showers, except instead, they celebrate the babies that will never be. Guests are invited to live it up ‘in a house with sharp furniture and exposed outlets.’ They can plan on games such as The Price is Right ‘where they talk about what they can buy now that they’ve saved money by not having kids.’ In lieu of suggesting baby names, party attendees can help name the new (not family) car or boat. The trend is attributed to changing attitudes about parenthood among millennials of child-bearing age (15-44).”
