It seemed like a smaller crowd, and more homemade food. Gifts were more like clothes and stuff. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/throwing-a-sprinkle-vs-shower#post-2053222 Tue, 03 Feb 2015 22:37:27 +0000 cheert16 2053222@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My BFF's threw me a sprinkle for lo#2. It was just family and close friends! Food, presents and chatting - no games! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/throwing-a-sprinkle-vs-shower#post-2053128 Tue, 03 Feb 2015 20:52:30 +0000 MamaCate 2053128@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I went to one for my SIL for her second and it was fun. There was a decent crowd but that side of the family is huge. They did a few games and requested diapers for gifts since she was going to have two in diapers. Most people brought diapers and something else, usually clothes. I think it was really nice for her. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/throwing-a-sprinkle-vs-shower#post-2053124 Tue, 03 Feb 2015 20:45:26 +0000 Charm54 2053124@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've been to a couple and it's always just close close friends, pot luck style and just hanging out chatting. No games, no themes, no prizes, etc. The last one I went to was at a local restaurant which I thought was perfect. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/throwing-a-sprinkle-vs-shower#post-2053102 Tue, 03 Feb 2015 20:26:16 +0000 raspberries 2053102@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've been to two sprinkles and they each had a gift theme... for one, everyone brought diapers in different sizes, and for the other, everyone brought a different children's book. Maybe you could do something like that? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/throwing-a-sprinkle-vs-shower#post-2053002 Tue, 03 Feb 2015 18:44:07 +0000 Smurfette 2053002@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Same as @blackbird: much, much smaller crowd and small gifts. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/throwing-a-sprinkle-vs-shower#post-2052983 Tue, 03 Feb 2015 18:26:53 +0000 blackbird 2052983@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The sprinkles I've been to are just food and small presents and hanging out </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/throwing-a-sprinkle-vs-shower#post-2052977 Tue, 03 Feb 2015 18:23:07 +0000 shopaholic 2052977@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Since my sister is due with DD#2 and the girls will be about 16 months apart, we didn't really think most people would be receptive to a 2nd baby shower or sprinkle. I was planning to host a "Sip and See" after the baby was born. Now people are asking about her "sprinkle" and I think some of her mommy group friends wanted to do something. If they do a sprinkle and I do a sip &amp; see, I feel like it'd be a overkill. So I'm thinking of asking them to do a Sprinkle together. </p> <p>If you've hosted a Sprinkle, how was it different than a regular baby shower? I'm thinking a smaller guest list and finger-foods &amp; snacks? Do we still do games? What else? </p>
