Baby Sprinkle Etiquette Tips
Keep it casual
A sprinkle should feel more like a get-together than a formal event. Brunch, backyard BBQ, or dessert party formats work perfectly.
Be clear about gifts
If gifts are not expected, say so. Something like 'No gifts necessary — your presence is the present' or 'Diapers and wipes are always welcome' sets clear expectations.
Include the big sibling
Making the older child feel included is a nice touch. Mention them in the invitation or plan a small activity for them at the party.
Keep the guest list smaller
Sprinkles are typically smaller than showers. Invite close friends and family rather than the full shower guest list.
