Just like with a traditional baby shower, the expecting parents having a smaller party can either host it themselves or have a close friend or family member host. Whoever the expecting parent(s) feel closest to. Save room for around 10, and include people like parents, siblings, and your best friend of the past 15 years. The average number of guests at a baby shower is around 20, and those guests can include a wider variety, from the expecting parents’ closest friends to coworkers to great aunts.īaby sprinkle invitations, on the other hand, are usually sent to only the closest family and friends, since the focus isn’t so much on getting new gear as it is getting support. Since a baby shower is often more about stocking up on much-needed gifts and supplies, the guest list is going to be a bit bigger. Guests will need an invitation in advance, and while you don’t necessarily need to plan games or have tons of food, some expecting parents still like to have the opportunity to tie the whole party together with a fun theme.
Baby sprinkle party ideasĮven though a baby sprinkle is meant to be smaller than a full-size baby shower, you’ll still want to do some planning. Think of it in terms of rain: a sprinkle of rain has less rainfall and doesn’t last as long as a rain shower. While a baby shower is usually thrown for a first baby, a baby sprinkle typically celebrates a family’s second (or more) child, has fewer guests, presents and overall to-do and doesn’t last as long as a baby shower. A baby sprinkle still involves guests and gifts and maybe refreshments, but they’re in much smaller amounts than with a traditional shower. If you can relate to any of those scenarios, you might consider having a baby sprinkle rather than a baby shower. You might even just not like the idea of having a huge party when you’re super pregnant, finalizing an adoption process or caring for an already-born little one. Or maybe you’re planning to take care of all your baby gear needs on your own.
You probably know what a baby shower is all about, but have you heard of a baby sprinkle? If you’re expecting your second or third (or more!) baby, you might have some leftover gear from your first kiddo.
