I learned something new. Did you know that when you have a baby shower for somebody that already has a child it is called a "Baby Sprinkle"? I threw my first Baby Sprinkle in February (I know, I am way behind) for my friend who was having her first boy. A baby sprinkle usually isn't as "big" of a party as a baby shower. The day of the baby sprinkle I was extremely busy and had a toddler to chase around, so I didn't do a very good job taking pictures.
I had a bunch of circle cut outs that I used to put on a plain white table cloth. The color scheme I used included different blues, greens, and cream. The circles kind of gave you a "sprinkle" feel.
Ignore the wrinkled tablecloth :( |
We had ice cream sundaes as treats that included vanilla ice cream, chocolate syrup, caramel sauce, crushed strawberries, bananas, crushed oreos, cookies, brownies, and of course sprinkles. I was in such a hurry that I didn't get any pictures of the food or final baby sprinkle decorations.
For drinks I covered water bottles with labels. I just sliced some scrapbook paper into strips and added a sticker to the center. Then I taped a strip onto each water bottle.
I put sprinkle streamers on the wall. I made these by sewing a straight line of circles together, leaving a little room in between each circle.
We didn't really play any games, but did a fun little activity. We explored a variety of gender wives tales to see if the mommy to be "really" was going to be having a boy. Luckily, according to the wives tales, she was having a boy, only by one extra wives tale. Here is a list of wives tales that we asked and checked with her.
