I am entering the stage in my life now where people are starting to have their second child. You’ve probably heard that throwing a shower for someone’s second baby is often referred to as a “sprinkle”. I decided to run with that theme for my friend’s baby girl shower.
I created the invitations in Power Point. I am a Photo Shop rookie and I pretty much use Power Point for everything. For the envelope liners I just cut scrapbooking paper to size and glued it in.
The decorations were pretty minimal. I found the pretty watercolor-ish floral fabric at Home fabrics for $2 a yard. I bought 2 yards and made a make-shift tablecloth.
I made ruffle streamers from this tutorial. The dot garland was simple and fun to make. I just cut out tons and tons of dots and sewed them together.
I also glittered some letters to spell out Baby using the same technique I used here.
One of my best friends Lisa made these delicious sugar cookies.
I made this Raspberry Punch and it was a huge hit and super yummy.
For the favors everyone got their own sprinkles jar. I put a little glitter tape on each jar using this tutorial.
It was a great time! I am so happy for my friend Kristen. One of the best parts of the shower is that her cute baby had already been born so we got to ooh and ahh over her the entire time.
Isn’t she precious!
She is precious – a true gift of life!
You did an absolutely beautiful job – well done (very professional).

What a lucky mama! Very cute shower Kirsten! I can't believe your home goods sells fabric! We need a bigger one! I love your outfit too.
Everything from the invites to the darling touches to the baby! to your hair was fantastic!! Excellent!

I'm in the stage where my friends are having their first kids and my husband (one year older) has friends having their second. I love the sprinkle idea! (We actually just went to a sprinkle this past weekend!)
p.s. You have to tell us where you got that fabulous skirt!!
This is adorable! Great job! And you are looking amazing in that last pic:)
I agree with amarathinaesthetic – that skirt is amazing! I love your invitation too and can't believe you created that in powerpoint. It's gorgeous!
Love those invites! I had no idea you could create invites via power point! Can you give us a tutorial?!

Everything turned out so cute! Your skirt is amazing!!!
WOW! Kirsten – everything you did is just fabulous!! Love it all – from the invite to the decorations!!
I've never heard of the term "sprinkle" before but I adore it especially with my own baby shower… I mean sprinkle taking place later this month! You did a lovely job and I'm glad to read I'm not the only one who favors Power Point over Photo Shop 😉 Love your blog!!
Such a great day. You never skip any details! I love that about you. 🙂
Everything looks amazing!
The invites are great, it's so fun what you can do in powerpoint. I wrote my 200 page thesis book in it since at that point I didn't know enough about Adobe InDesign to do it there. 🙂
Great Job. Love the invites!!!
So sprinkles are totally new to me but such a cute idea. I have lots of baby showers coming up and I think this theme could work well for a first baby too 🙂
So lovely! I am so impressed! Kristen and her baby are darling. Oh, and I love your skirt!
Ooh my best friends. I am so sad to miss out on all of the fun! This shower is adorable. Can you please fly out to wherever I live whenever I have a baby and do my shower? You might be the only one who would do it up to my expectations 🙂
This is beautiful! Can you share what font you used for the baby's name?
cutest idea ever. I want my next birthday party to be a sprinkle themed party. Is it ok that I am not pregnant and over the age of 12? I hope so.
Such cute ideas- simple and sweet! And I LOVE your outfit! my goodness.
This is the cutest shower I have ever seen! What a neat concept. I love all the decorations. I need someone to have a baby so I can throw a "sprinkles" party!

Raspberry Punch is best dish to prepare in any occasions like birthday or marriage because it is favorite dish most of all. I was prepared it on 1 August my sister 's birthday.
So cute!
I love that you made the envelope liners with scrapbook paper! I'm totally going to do that for the invitations to my friends bridal shower!
It looks beautiful!
What a sweet party! That baby is too precious and your skirt is so cute!
Ok– YOU look amazing. That skirt! And you are so so tiny.
Adorable! I love the simplicity of the shower. Planning shower's are so time consuming but worth every second 🙂 You did a great job!
You made the envelope liners with scrapbook paper! I am totally going to do that for the invitations to my friends bridal shower, I hope she will like it.
LOVE LOVE. and so happy you used the punch recipe from my blog! thanks for the link. 🙂
I know that is way past this darling shower but I wonder if you still have the invite template and would you be willing to sell it to me? I love your invitations! Please let me know and thank you! Beautiful sprinkle!
I'm another who found your invite (through Pinterest) and wanted more info if you have the time. Where did you get the sprinkles graphic? You have some great ideas that a few of my friends may use for another friend's second baby sprinkling. 🙂 Thanks for sharing!
How do you find the invitations background?
