What Is A Baby Sprinkle?

While a baby shower is a celebration of a mother’s first baby, a baby sprinkle is a celebration of all mom’s next babies. According to baby shower etiquette, the first baby has a baby shower. Every other child that follows has a baby sprinkle.

The Difference Between A Baby Shower And A Baby Sprinkle Shower

1. Cost – Traditional baby showers are usually big and extravagant. Baby sprinkles or 2nd baby showers are a little bit scaled-down.
2. Gifts – By the time 2nd baby showers come along, parents already have all the big-ticket items they need. Instead, baby shower gifts will be mostly diapers and wipes. However, throw all that out the window if the baby sprinkle is for a sibling who arriving several years after the first one was born. In that case, mom might have gotten rid of the crib and everything else. Therefore, she will want to set up a full baby registry with all the new baby essentials she will need.
3. Invitations – Baby sprinkle invitation wording is different from baby shower invitation wording. It recognizes that this is the birth of a second or third child. (see below).

Baby Sprinkle Invitation Wording

Baby sprinkle invitation wording is different from traditional baby shower invitation wording because the occasion is different.
