Gave my niece a shower and cohosted with her girlfriend. I was not told until the day of that it was a 'Snoopy" themed shower. Her mother, my sister, didn't tell me. I would've made a Snoopy quilt and diaper stacker. The girlfriend paid for the invites and we tallied and split the costs. That was 10 years ago and she's having another one. I won't be there but will get a gift card. Another "Snoopy" but boyfriend wants Scooby Do. It will be a couples this time and all the siblings will be there. Fine by me. What is a "sprinkle" other than a topping on a cake?

Snakes and snails and puppy dog tails?
I think it is Snips and Snails and Puppy Dog Tails.

I love the sprinkle idea. one thing I know people are making is a sprinkle cup. it's a cone made of fabric to put over his little weinie for diaper changes, so the changer doesn't get sprinkled. He will need boy stuff, just like his sister needed girl stuff. Maybe ask everyone to bring a bag of diapers, and then if they want to add to it, it's at their own discretion. Onsies, socks, pants, t-shirts homemade spit up rags for over the shoulder. Colored M&M's or Jellybeans in colored tulle on a blue pencil in the boys name would be cute. or get blue pens with his name on it in blue with jelly beans.

My daughter was just given a shower and they did the tealight thing. Also the people giving the shower bought assorted sizes of white onesies and permanent coloring pens. Every guest was asked to decorate a onesie. There was no contest for this but it could easily have been a contest with a prize for the winner.

Thanks for your ideas. I will do the tealights. We haven't had any snow, but we could get hit in late March.
Baby is due early May. Hmmmmm..... !

I raised 3 boys, and I have 5 grandsons. I've been tinkled on, but sprinkles go on cookies, cupcakes, etc. So, in reference to a baby shower, what is a Sprinkle? I have no idea. We would love to know.

it's a smaller baby shower, not all the bells and whistles.
