Baby Sprinkle Invitation Wording

The point of a baby shower is to shower the expectant mother with things she’ll need for the new arrival. But what if it’s a second child and mom is already awash in baby stuff? In that case, it would seem a bit greedy to ask friends and family to contribute more.

This is why the baby sprinkle was invented. A baby sprinkle is simply a shower for a second baby (or third, or fourth…) where the expectations for gifts are kept low or completely nixed. The idea is to sprinkle the expectant mother with just the essentials.
