Planning a Baby Sprinkle

by soapylovedeb

When a first baby is on its way, a baby shower is thrown to celebrate and prepare for its arrival.  The family may be showered with baby booties, bibs, cribs, diaper bags, play yards, and more.  However, when the second baby is on its way, a shower may not be necessary.  Instead, the family may be sprinkled with gifts at a Baby Sprinkle. 

A Baby Sprinkle allows friends and family members to celebrate a second or third baby, for instance, who may not be in need of a crib or a tub because the family still has major items from their first child’s birth.  At a Baby Sprinkle, the family can be sprinkled with specific items like diapers and wipes.  Grocery store gift certificates or cards make great sprinkle gifts, too.  Once the baby arrives and the family learns of the child’s dietary needs, formula and water can be purchased using the gift cards, or the gift cards can be saved and used to purchase baby food when the child is older.

At a Baby Sprinkle, you can still play games, eat cake, and enjoy family and friends.  Also, if a guestbook is used, your baby will have a memento of all the people who came out to celebrate his or her impending arrival.
