I've heard of plenty of people having sprinkles.</p> <p>Personally I wouldn't want to do a sip and see...... I don't like having crowds around my newborn, especially before her 2 month shots. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-shower-for-2nd-baby#post-997223 Wed, 07 Aug 2013 16:12:42 +0000 oscarthegoon 997223@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Lemon-Lime: thanks! I'd never heard of that. </p> <p>@Runsyellowlites: Agreed! Sounds like too much stress in those early days.</p> <p>A sprinkle sounds good though, I'd never heard of that before today either! Thanks everyone. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-shower-for-2nd-baby#post-997193 Wed, 07 Aug 2013 16:03:06 +0000 runsyellowlites 997193@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@oscarthegoon: It's a type of party after the baby is born where everyone gets to "meet" the baby.</p> <p>For me, trying to get the whole fam (G, P, &amp; the new bebe) ready for something like that in the early pp days is just more than I would want to manage! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-shower-for-2nd-baby#post-997191 Wed, 07 Aug 2013 16:02:44 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 997191@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@oscarthegoon: a post baby event typically held any time from 2 weeks to 3 months after the baby is born. It can be hosted by anyone including the parents. Gifts are not expected and definitely no registry. People come over to sip drinks think champagne punch and see the newborn. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-shower-for-2nd-baby#post-997184 Wed, 07 Aug 2013 15:59:53 +0000 oscarthegoon 997184@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>What is a sip n see? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-shower-for-2nd-baby#post-997171 Wed, 07 Aug 2013 15:54:19 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 997171@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>You can do what ever you like. However, as a guest I would likely decline an invite to a second shower if the children were close in age and were the same sex. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-shower-for-2nd-baby#post-997164 Wed, 07 Aug 2013 15:52:09 +0000 plantains 997164@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Only if you are paying for it! </p> <p>JK. I think a sprinkle could be nice. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-shower-for-2nd-baby#post-997157 Wed, 07 Aug 2013 15:50:46 +0000 runsyellowlites 997157@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We won't be having a full out shower this time but I think we'll probably have a sprinkle.. no registry, maybe just a "bring a book" or something along those lines.</p> <p>Having a Sip n See is not something I'd EVER want to have to have! lol</p> <p>ETA: We did have a shower for my #2 but it was #1 for DH &amp; there was 7 years between the munchkins! This time there is right at 2 years between them. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-shower-for-2nd-baby#post-997144 Wed, 07 Aug 2013 15:47:25 +0000 prettylizy 997144@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We won't be having a shower for #2. After my bridal and baby showers, I was so over it! lol! I hated sitting there with people watching me open gifts. I think if you want to celebrate the baby, you should do it in whatever way feels most awesome to you. Every life should be celebrated. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-shower-for-2nd-baby#post-997141 Wed, 07 Aug 2013 15:46:54 +0000 ChattyCathy 997141@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Maybe have a sip and see if you want to celebrate? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-shower-for-2nd-baby#post-997135 Wed, 07 Aug 2013 15:45:55 +0000 oscarthegoon 997135@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Can you have a baby shower for your second baby? Is that in poor taste? I don't want to seem greedy but I want to celebrate this baby too! </p>
