Baby Sprinkle

Written by Mandy

Can you believe there was a time when only the birth of the first child was celebrated with a baby shower? That was certainly a generational ideal that has long since died out. I can’t say that I’m disappointed as not only do I LOVE to plan baby showers for all the women in my life and their babes, but I have also been the recipient of a number of baby showers for all of my babies! Today, I’d like to share with you how we planned an adorable Baby Sprinkle for my sister-in-law when she was expecting her second child.

What Does “Baby Sprinkle” Mean?

It’s in these continued celebrations for moms with more than one child, that the idea of a planning a “baby sprinkle” was born. Since we “shower” moms of first born babies with a large party, we now “sprinkle” moms of those babies thereafter, with a smaller celebration.

A baby sprinkle is an opportunity to celebrate the upcoming birth of all precious babies regardless of their birth order.

When my sister-in-law and I started planning a baby sprinkle for our sister, we were honored again to be hosting such a blessed event!

My SIL thought it would be fun to create a “sprinkle” theme for the baby shower sprinkle. So we set out to collect all the things we could find that had sprinkles on them. What an adorably perfect idea for a baby sprinkle!

Let’s Plan a Baby Sprinkle!

You might be wondering how we handled the situation of all the many different types of candy sprinkles, polka dots and such? We decided that it didn’t matter if we used the common candy sprinkles that are long, or the candy dots, or the confetti style sprinkles.

We thought that our baby sprinkle theme would be perfect with a variety of sprinkle types…therefore we didn’t get wrapped up in that little detail.

Once we had sat down to delegate our baby shower planning tasks, we got to work collecting our items and planning crafts!

Our mother-in-law is a crafting genius and found a tutorial for making these GORGEOUS over-sized flowers out of paper. We thought they were the perfect accent to our baby sprinkle theme. What do you think?

Ah-mazing! Right? Seriously, I aspire to have her talent some day!

If you’d like to make your own baby sprinkle banner, check out my banner tutorial for inspiration!

Here’s an adorable welcome banner with baby’s name…

Table Top Decor

{I’ve included Amazon links for your shopping convenience}

We decided to use polka dot scrapbooking paper as a placemat. I just love how it added color, texture and layer to our table top decor.

On top of the adorable placemats we placed glass vintage plates for our guest place settings. Our mother-in-law has collected these 1950’s vintage glass plates through her years of thrifty shopping.

I absolutely love these plates! We’ve used them for a number of baby showers, birthday parties and tea parties. If you have the opportunity to grab some while you are thrift store shopping…you must!

We then wrapped a polka-dotted napkin with our dollar store plasticware. This plasticware is impressive! Not only is it a dollar for multiple sets, but it is silver plastic, made to look like real silverware!

We then placed a glass frappuccino bottle with a sprinkle themed straw for our guest’s water goblets. Next to the water glasses, we included a glass punch cup that was rimmed with sprinkles!

My sister-in-law used cornstarch to stick sprinkles to the rim of the punch cups. She’s so smart! Tip: Chocolate lovers- you could melt chocolate chips and dip the rim of the cup in the chocolate and then dip it in sprinkles.

In the center of the tables were small glass candle holders with votives on a bed of sprinkles.

Our mother-in-law crafted these precious little bassinets and put chocolates in them, one for each guest.

More Decorative Elements

Confetti balloons and chalkboard welcome sign are a warm welcome for the baby sprinkle guests!

How Big is My Belly

This game is a baby shower staple and super easy to put together. You could get a little fancy and grab a mason jar and fill it with a long strand of ribbon like we did.

Each guest then takes turns pulling the ribbon out of the jar and then cutting their desired length based on how big mom-to-be’s belly is!

Let’s Make a Baby

Each guest has 5 minutes to sculpt their very best baby out of play-doh.

The guest of honor retreats to another room so she can’t see the sculpting artists at work. When the 5 minutes are up, the guests place their play-doh baby on a tray and mom-to-be picks which play-doh baby is her favorite. The winner gets a prize!

Menu

In our village of women, we help one another out and support our baby shower efforts anyway possible. One of the best ways we do this is by providing a portion of the baby shower menu.

You could consider it a potluck style with a theme, if you will. We decided on a croissant bar with complimentary sides.

Croissant Bar

We included chicken salad, bacon, ham and cheese (the guest of honor’s favorites) with condiments and veggies for our croissant bar.

Drinks

We served coffee, tea, lemon water and this incredible punch! My sister-in-law used cornstarch to stick the sprinkles along the rim of the punch glass. How cute is this cup?!

Lasting Memories

Baby Sprinkles are the perfect excuse to celebrate a second time mom and “sprinkle” her with gifts and things that she may need for her new baby. A baby sprinkle is a smaller celebration but for a big reason!
