When it is time to celebrate the pending arrival of baby #2, #4 or #10, there is nothing better than a Surprise Sprinkle! What's a Sprinkle, you ask? Well, it is a a "light" shower of course :-) Since Mommy-to-be likely has all of the basics she will need for the little on you can get even more creative than normal with your theme! You may want to have a “Turning Blue Pink” shower to make all of her baby boy things girlie, a “Disposables” shower to restock her supply of diapers, wipes, creams, etc., or a “Mommy” theme to celebrate Mom and shower her with gifts.
For this Surprise Afternoon Team Sprinkle, the Mommy-to-be's closest girlfriends surprised her with a lovely afternoon tea at The Umstead. What a perfect way to pamper a Mommy-to-be for the afternoon and sprinkle her with fun baby gifts!
Decorations and Favors (The Umstead is so beautifully decorated little work had to be done!):
- Oversized pink clothespins used to display the Sprinkle invitations (at a surprise party it is fun to display the invitation for the guest of honor to see)
- Place cards designed to match the invitation's cupcake design
- Mason Jars filled with a variety of teas, Lindor Truffles and a cupcake note card adorned with a personalized favor tag designed to match the invitation's cupcake design
Activities:
- An amazing afternoon tea
