A COUPLE have left people totally stunned by their extravagant gender reveal party, with some branding it "wasteful" and "out of control".
Lithuanian influencer Inga Stumbriene recently threw an over-the-top bash to announce the gender of her child.
But what she described as "a beautiful and cosy family celebration" has left people totally divided.
Inga and her partner stood in front of a huge balloon display - one side had the word GIRL surrounded by pink balloons while on the other side was the word BOY amongst blue balloons.
The couple stood next to each other as they watched three planes flying in the air.
It was later revealed that the couple were expecting a boy.
