The Cutest Baby Sprinkle Ideas To Inspire You - Tulamama (2024)

Set The Date

If you are following a baby shower checklist, your baby sprinkle will be scheduled approximately 6-8 weeks before the baby’s due date. This gives the host plenty of time to plan, guests enough time to rsvp, and it gives mom enough time to make sure she has everything she needs.

Choose a Baby Sprinkle Theme

You have tons of options. You could:

• embrace the sprinkle theme. As you will notice from the baby sprinkle ideas above, you can introduce the sprinkle theme in lots of elements like baby sprinkle favors, foods, balloons, centerpieces, decorations, etc. The ideas are endless;
• if you know the gender, you could introduce baby sprinkle ideas into a baby boy or baby girl shower;
• if you don’t know the gender, you could have a gender reveal baby shower; or
• choose from tons of baby shower themes and complement it with baby sprinkle ideas.

Create Your Guest List

With the help of the mom and dad, the host will put together a guest list. Since the baby sprinkle is low key compared to the baby shower, the guest list is usually shorter.

Create And Send Out Baby Sprinkle Invitations

Baby sprinkle invitations can be different from baby shower invitations, particularly when it comes to wording. For example, sprinkle invitations might say:

Bibs, diapers, bottles galore. Two years later she is having one more!

or

Little babies are filled with so much fun. We’ve decided to have another one!With another sweet baby on the way, we hope you will join us to brighten the day.

Baby Sprinkle Gift Ideas

Because this is not her first baby, mom may already have most of the things she will need for the baby. For the baby sprinkle, the idea is to offer things that would be needed. Here are a few great ideas:

• Baby diapers and wipes. These are the most common gifts requested for a baby sprinkle. Often, parents may choose to have a diaper raffle to encourage guests to bring more diapers;
• Traditional baby shower gifts. If the new baby is coming years after the last baby, mom may have gotten rid of lots of things. If that’s the case, she can create a baby registry.
• Frozen meals. Meal showers are very popular and practical too. Instead of diapers or traditional baby gifts, guests can help stock the family’s freezer with healthy homemade meals.

Whatever mom chooses to receive as baby sprinkle gifts, be sure to put this on the baby sprinkle invitations.

Baby sprinkle food is the same as baby shower food. The difference is the atmosphere. With a baby sprinkle, things are a bit more low key. After all, there is likely to be a toddler (or two) running around.

If mom is on a restricted diet during this pregnancy, don’t forget to include something she can eat, too!

Don’t forget the baby shower punch and refreshments. Baby shower/ sprinkle punch is a tradition and lots of guests will expect it.

Plan Your Guest Entertainment

As with baby showers, your guests will expect to either play baby shower games or do baby shower activities. Both are acceptable and the host and mom will decide.

Don’t Forget Older Brother(s)/ Sister(s)

New babies are exciting – for everyone but the siblings, perhaps.

Be sure to include older siblings in the planning.

• You could give them a role to play at the baby sprinkle. They could create a project for the sprinkle, or they could help with the decorations;
• If you’re having a “sip and see”/ “meet and greet” sprinkle, allow the sibling to introduce the new baby. That would make them feel involved and part of the celebrations.
• You could give them advice on how to be a good big brother or sister, or ask them what kind of brother or sister they want to be;
• To help them feel special, consider a gift for the sibling.
