4 Tips for Throwing the Best "Sprinkle" Baby Shower 0
This isn’t your first rodeo. You’ve had the big extravagant, first born baby shower. So what do you do for your second (or perhaps third or fourth) baby shower? Luckily, we’ve got you covered with custom party decorations to celebrate your "Sprinkle" Baby Shower. Here’s how you can throw the best Sprinkle Party:
- Pamper Mom. The first shower, Mom likely got everything (and more) she needed for baby. So use this Sprinkle Party as a way to pamper the well deserving mom. Suggest guests buy mom a trip to the nail salon, credit towards a “babymoon” vacation, a prenatal massage, pre-paid cleaning services, etc.
- Host a Diaper Drive. If your new addition is the same gender as your oldest, then you likely have just about everything you need. Take this opportunity to help out some moms who might not be as fortunate. Here in Austin, we have the Austin Diaper Bank. They are an organization that helps give diapers to families in need. I hosted a diaper drive for my second daughter’s Sprinkle Party and we donated over 1,000 diapers to the Austin Diaper Bank!. Diaper banks are located all across the country. Research and see if there is a diaper bank located near you.
- Host an Ice Cream Social! Who doesn’t love ice cream? Set up a self service, ice cream social Sprinkle Party for the experienced mom in your life. Purchase our Sprinkled With Love party decorations and pair them with some fun games.
- Gifts for a growing family. Mom likely has about everything she might need from baby #1. Encourage guests to buy gifts that she might not have yet, like a double stroller, an extra car seat, and lots and lots of diapers.
We’ve got everything you need to throw the best Sprinkle Shower for the mom in your life!
Happy Sprinkling!

Over the Hill? Says Who?! 0
I have a big milestone birthday happening in a year and, while I do have some moments where I literally gasp out loud at the thought of it, I refuse to get bogged down by the idea of being "over the hill". In fact, I'm already planning the party!
30's
First, let me make it very clear that I don't think 30 is over the hill, but it can feel that way as you say goodbye to your twenties. So, with that in mind, if you're dreading the transition, make the best of it with a fun party and sparkles everywhere! Bubbly makes every occasion more fun & festive, so create a signature champagne cocktail for your guests to sip and top them off with our "Cheers to 30 Years" straw toppers. I have nothing against cupcakes at all, believe me, but for a 30th birthday, I think a big towering layer cake is the way to go, and you must top it with something sparkly and festive! While you may feel less inclined to snap a selfie the older you get, you MUST take pictures on your birthday! Our 30th birthday banner is a beautiful decoration and it doubles as a great background for birthday pictures!
40's
Maybe it's my past as a language arts teacher, but I've always liked alliteration, so a Fortieth Fiesta seems perfect! I mean, any excuse to have tacos and queso is a good one, but a 40th birthday is a great reason to gather your friends and family, and set up a taco bar to be remembered! Color is the name of the game at a fiesta and we gotcha covered: banners, garlands, centerpieces, cupcake toppers, and everything in between! Pinatas aren't just for kids, and who says you have to fill them with candy? Grab a cute llama pinata and fill up small plastic liquor bottles with tequila. Bash it open and watch as your adult friends scramble around on the ground like a bunch of hyperactive 5 year olds grabbing for their favorite sweets.
50 and Over
Embrace it, deny it, but whatever you do-celebrate it! Our "Young AF" and "Old AF" banners are a great way to laugh at getting older and your friends will love it too! Want to party, but also want to get your 8 hours of beauty sleep? Let guests know, in the most stylish way, exactly when the party is over with our "Let's Party, but Only Until 9pm" banner. Everyone will have fun and still be able to fully adult the next day.
Happy Birthday, everyone!
