I also had a baby book work sheet where everyone guessed her name (it was a secret) and an sheet for anyone to leave a note for me or baby that they wanted to.</p> <p>I picked bibs over onsies because I didn't know the artistic talent of everyone and if I hated one, it didn't really matter because my kid would just be spitting up on it/getting baby food all over it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-hadbeen-tohosted-a-baby-shower-for-2sprinkle#post-1689233 Mon, 09 Jun 2014 14:21:13 +0000 deactivated_account 1689233@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrskc: Check your email! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-hadbeen-tohosted-a-baby-shower-for-2sprinkle#post-1689218 Mon, 09 Jun 2014 14:14:55 +0000 mrskc 1689218@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsMcD: Thanks! yeah, I'll put my email on your wall. The wishes for baby sounds like a cute idea. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-hadbeen-tohosted-a-baby-shower-for-2sprinkle#post-1689134 Mon, 09 Jun 2014 13:37:38 +0000 2PeasinaPod 1689134@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Socializing, eating and gifts! I've never been to one where we treated it like a "typical" baby shower. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-hadbeen-tohosted-a-baby-shower-for-2sprinkle#post-1689128 Mon, 09 Jun 2014 13:35:34 +0000 junebugmama 1689128@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We just had a really nice lunch and chatted. It was a smaller group then my first baby shower, so conversation amongst everyone was possible. We didn't do games but I did open gifts </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-hadbeen-tohosted-a-baby-shower-for-2sprinkle#post-1689120 Mon, 09 Jun 2014 13:33:00 +0000 deactivated_account 1689120@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrskc: Decorations were really low key. Like a few balloons tied to the chairs. I did print out a "wishes for baby" card for people to write on. Its a file I had made from etsy. I could email it to you I think if you want it. I just had it printed for under $10 at Staples. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-hadbeen-tohosted-a-baby-shower-for-2sprinkle#post-1689112 Mon, 09 Jun 2014 13:30:34 +0000 mrskc 1689112@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thanks all for the input! I think no games or prizes at all and just socializing sounds nice. </p> <p>@MrsMcD: I like the sound of that! It's just going to be at my grandma's house, so I think a timeline like that sounds nice. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-hadbeen-tohosted-a-baby-shower-for-2sprinkle#post-1689038 Mon, 09 Jun 2014 12:41:41 +0000 beachbee 1689038@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Socialized, ate, decorated onesies and opened the small gifts people brought. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-hadbeen-tohosted-a-baby-shower-for-2sprinkle#post-1689025 Mon, 09 Jun 2014 12:35:16 +0000 mrs.shinerbock 1689025@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm a fan of activities - decorating onesies, making headbands for a baby girl, decorating baby blocks, making a mobile, making gripper socks with puffy paint, coloring an ABC book, writing messages on diapers for midnight changes </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-hadbeen-tohosted-a-baby-shower-for-2sprinkle#post-1689022 Mon, 09 Jun 2014 12:33:01 +0000 NeekieRose 1689022@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Wasn't at a sprinkle, but the onesie decorating is really fun. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-hadbeen-tohosted-a-baby-shower-for-2sprinkle#post-1689019 Mon, 09 Jun 2014 12:31:18 +0000 deactivated_account 1689019@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrskc: I just hosted a sprinkle for baby boy #2. There was only close family and friends of the mom-to-be. It was at a house. We had food brought in. We chatted for about 45 minutes as people came in. Then we ate. Then cake was served right away while people were still at the table. Then my friend opened her presents. And everyone was given a little favor and sent on their merry way! I really like a 3-hour max rule for showers of any kind. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-hadbeen-tohosted-a-baby-shower-for-2sprinkle#post-1689013 Mon, 09 Jun 2014 12:27:50 +0000 MrsKRB 1689013@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It was more casual than a shower, kind of just hanging out and talking. We did play quick games at both the ones I was at - 1 was the 'can't say baby' game, and the other was trivia. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-hadbeen-tohosted-a-baby-shower-for-2sprinkle#post-1688850 Mon, 09 Jun 2014 11:15:39 +0000 blackbird 1688850@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We did food at a little restaurant and just opened gifts and hung out. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-hadbeen-tohosted-a-baby-shower-for-2sprinkle#post-1688840 Mon, 09 Jun 2014 11:12:53 +0000 bushelandapeck 1688840@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We had one for my sister and decorated onesies for her. I hosted another for a friend and we just met at a restaurant, had lunch, chatted and watched her open gifts. Both were small groups. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-hadbeen-tohosted-a-baby-shower-for-2sprinkle#post-1688816 Mon, 09 Jun 2014 11:07:32 +0000 LuLu Mom 1688816@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>On my DH's side, they never do games, they usually give a little gift for whoever's birthday is closest to the due date. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-hadbeen-tohosted-a-baby-shower-for-2sprinkle#post-1688814 Mon, 09 Jun 2014 11:07:16 +0000 Boheme 1688814@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Just socializing and eating :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-hadbeen-tohosted-a-baby-shower-for-2sprinkle#post-1688805 Mon, 09 Jun 2014 11:00:14 +0000 autumnlove 1688805@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Sprinkle 1 was eating, drinking, talking and no games.</p> <p>Sprinkle 2 was disguised as a sprinkle but was a lavish full on baby shower. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-hadbeen-tohosted-a-baby-shower-for-2sprinkle#post-1688801 Mon, 09 Jun 2014 10:59:15 +0000 sorrycharlie 1688801@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wouldn't bother with games! just socialize, food, drinks (maybe some fun, fruity mocktails too!), presents :)</p> <p>if you really want to do games, something that's not cheesy is just having a guess-the-birth day or birth weight! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-hadbeen-tohosted-a-baby-shower-for-2sprinkle#post-1688791 Mon, 09 Jun 2014 10:55:36 +0000 Mamaof2 1688791@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>eating, drinking, talking - no games - oh and opened gifts! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-hadbeen-tohosted-a-baby-shower-for-2sprinkle#post-1688780 Mon, 09 Jun 2014 10:53:15 +0000 mrskc 1688780@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>What did you do at the party?</p> <p>My mom is hosting me a little baby shower for baby #2 in a couple of weeks. We are just inviting close family and friends, so not a whole lot of people. I don't want to do regular baby shower games... but not sure what else to do. </p> <p>Any ideas for not so typical games we could play or an activity? What was a sprinkle you went to like? </p>
