Baby Sprinkle guest gifts

When we had a baby sprinkle for our second son, I created gift favors to give out.  I wanted something that would match the theme of sprinkles.  I looked around Pinterest and found people gave out cookies, donuts and other things with sprinkles.  I wanted to create something else.  I created a mason jar sugar cookie ingredients.

I started with picked up mason jars, sugar cookie mix,  sprinkles and avery labels.  Once I got them, I made the labels. One label said “Thank you for sprinkling your love” and then the second label was the ingredients and directions on how to make the sugar cookies.    Once the labels were done, I placed them on the mason jars. One label was the front and then the other one was on the back.

Once the labels were place, I placed the sugar cookie mix into the mason jar as well as some sprinkles.   It was a cute jar that was given out as a favor. I enjoy making homemade favors because they are more special.  I also wanted to make something that people can use because there are many times that I will get favors and then it just sits and collects dust.  It is easier and nicer to just make it and allow people to get rid of something without feeling guilty.

If you are interested in a favor like this, I will be happy to make it for a cheap price.  Happy gifting!

Baby Sprinkle

What is proper ethic for having a party to honor your second born? Do you have a baby shower? Do you create a registry? Those were the questions that I had when we got pregnant with our second child.  Our second pregnancy was great because we found out that we were going to have another boy. Our son was going to be a big brother to his brother.

We did create a registry but it only had things that we really needed. It wasn’t much because I saved everything from my first pregnancy.  Having another boy also limited to what we really needed. We asked our guests to bring diapers and wipes because the reality of it is that you use a lot of diapers and wipes the first year.

My husband and I decided to have a baby Sprinkle which just showed how much we love the second  child. When you’re pregnant with the first, you get everything and then there’s nothing for the second. The baby Sprinkle was themed with ice cream and donuts. It was in the summer so it fit great. We had an ice cream bar with different kinds of ice cream as well as toppings. Everyone loved it.

 

We had plain blocks and asked our guests to create a block which our second son will use when he gets older.  Our favors were mason jars filled with sugar cookie mix and sprinkles. I created labels with the ingredients and directions to make the cookies. That was a huge hit. I hope this inspires you to create your own baby Sprinkle for your second bundle of joy. We can’t forget the second baby that comes into our lives. Happy creating!
