A low key game would be a personalized crossword puzzle. You could make it fun by including stuff related to this baby's sex or second borns or siblings. Just put it at each place setting. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/throwing-a-sprinkle#post-2672118 Fri, 30 Dec 2016 15:05:26 +0000 Cole 2672118@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mediagirl: @Mrs. Goose: Thanks! I'll invite them, I think once I add her mom and mil it changes the dynamic of the group anyway and I was likely over thinking it. </p> <p>I may forgo the games but do a bow/headband making station as something to do. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/throwing-a-sprinkle#post-2672116 Fri, 30 Dec 2016 15:00:28 +0000 Mrs. Goose 2672116@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Agree, invite other friends and tell her about it. It's still special and thoughtful even if it's not a surprise! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/throwing-a-sprinkle#post-2672114 Fri, 30 Dec 2016 14:55:12 +0000 mediagirl 2672114@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Cole: invite the other friends. They will feel excluded if you don't invite them. Just because they're not in your "group" doesn't mean your friend doesn't like them just as much as the women in your group. Her family probably won't know any of the group either, right? </p> <p>No games. Just have some nice munchies, something yummy to drink and gift time. I would tell her about it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/throwing-a-sprinkle#post-2672104 Fri, 30 Dec 2016 14:45:40 +0000 Cole 2672104@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm going to throw a sprinkle for a good friend and really need to get a move on! I need to decide a few things though-</p> <p>surprise or no?</p> <p>Who to invite- Friends from just our moms group or invite the 2-3 of her other semi local friends who might come? I can see this being awkward since the rest of us know each other, I've met them but we aren't close by any means. I am planning to invite her mom, mil and grandmother but not aunts etc. (Basically, I'm not trying to replicate the guest list of her shower and the room I'm renting has a capacity of 25 people.)</p> <p>I'm thinking 11:30 and we'll do lunch, cake, gifts (not thinking anything crazy but this may be a reason to tell her, I don't want her to get a bunch of useless stuff, she's having the opposite sex this time though so I know some new things will be in order and a registry may help?)</p> <p>Games? Again, nothing crazy but I think it could be fun to do something. Any ideas? </p>
