The reform and constructionists do this!! It is entirely inappropriate and I would question the frumkeit of someone who makes such a party. A kiddush is all that is approproiate to celebrate the birth of a daughter. This is a feminist attempt at replicating the broo-ha-ha of a Sholom Zochor and Bris. I am not sure that it is against strict halacha, so I wouldn’t call it apikorsis, but it is definitely “amaratzus” at the very least.
