"Sprinkled with Love" Baby Shower Sprinkle.

When it was time to plan the baby shower I was throwing for my sister-in-law in honor of her 2nd baby girl, I loved the idea of a "baby sprinkle." The idea of a sprinkle is that it's a smaller, more intimate baby shower with a "sprinkling" of gifts for the 2nd baby.

I searched high and low for ideas and materials for a baby sprinkle, but didn't find much that went with what I had in mind. I did find some inspiration on Pinterest (see my idea board here.)

So I decided to go with the idea of a rain cloud raining sprinkles, and this is what I came up with:


The Logo I designed for the party.

Sprinkle cupcakes and cupcake toppers

Centerpieces for the tables.

Party favors: Tags designed by me, heart salt shakers from Beaucoup.com

Dessert table decor: "Sprinkle Rain Clouds" on chandelier: Made by me. I used a paper punch to cut out the raindrops, glued them on silver string, and tied them to the chandelier. Then I stuffed pillow fill on the chandelier to make it look like a cloud.
Desserts: Heart Palmiers from Cost Plus, Biscotti, and marshmallows dipped in chocolate and sprinkled with rainbow sprinkles. Rainbow sprinkle cupcakes from Roxy's Sweet Treats.

Sprinkle decoration made by me. For this one, I tied the strings to an embroidery hoop.

I enlarged my logo into a sign for the front door.

Getting Ready for the Baby Sprinkle

Lately, most of my creative time has been spent preparing for the "Baby Sprinkle" that I am hosting for my sister-in-law and niece to-be. I am literally doing a "sprinkle" theme, as in dessert sprinkles. I found lots of great inspiration on Pinterest. I am finding cute ways to incorporate rainy sprinkles into the theme. I found a cute invitation on Etsy, which I purchased for like $10. The seller emailed me the file, and I downloaded it and had them printed as photos at Walgreens.

I am now working on decorations for the party. I'm making a hanging cloud with paper sprinkles. I punched various colors with a small balloon punch. Then I trimmed the tips off to make them look more like raindrops. This was very time consuming. Now I am in the process of gluing them onto skinny silver string and tying them onto an embroidery hoop. When done, I will top it off with a cloud of pillow fill.

The other sprinkle project I am working on is tags for the favors. I had a hard time finding clip art, but finally found some on mygrafico.com. I am working on designing them, but am not quite happy with them yet.

I need to get cracking! I only have two weeks left!!
