Here are some fun ideas for theming a sprinkle meant for the second child.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If the expectant parents are having their second child, this is a fun way to focus on it during the sprinkle. Think mylar balloons, tablecloths, dishware and confetti all featuring the number 2. Include other things that are a nod to common duos. For food, think peanut butter and jelly, hamburgers and fries, ice cream and sprinkles, etc. Regardless of the games you choose, surprise everyone by announcing that whoever comes in second is the winner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Now that the first child is about to have a little sibling, a sidekick theme feels like a natural fit. Highlight pop culture characters that work in pairs. Think Rocky and Bullwinkle, Batman and Robin, Dora and Swiper, Anna and Elsa, etc. Similar to the Two Cute theme, this one can feature food and games centered on well-known pairs and award prizes to people who come in second place during any games that are played. <\/p>\n\n\n\n A remix is often an enhanced version of an original song. While it doesn\u2019t take away from how great the original is, it can breathe new life into it or give it new meaning\u2014similar to what a second child will do to a family dynamic. Decor that\u2019s music-themed is appropriate here, along with games that feature remixes in some way\u2014perhaps musical chairs or \u201cname that tune.\u201d For the chance to blast said music at volume that won\u2019t get you kicked out, select a large urban warehouse venue<\/a> that offers cavernous acoustics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n For parents who decide not to find out the gender of their soon-to-arrive new addition, gender-neutral theming is the most appropriate. Focus on colors like green, orange and yellow, or neutrals such as gray, beige, black, brown and white.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This new baby will be the extra added touch that completes their new family\u2014similar to a cherry on top of a sundae, which makes the whole thing even sweeter. Go all-in on this theme by incorporating cherry references wherever possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Doughnuts have sprinkles, and babies need diapers. Although this theme can be executed any time of day, it obviously has a bit of a tie to breakfast. Offer coffee and doughnuts for guests who decide to stop by for an hour or two for an informal visit to chat, offer their congratulations and perhaps drop off some diapers as the name suggests.<\/p>\n\n\n\n As a play on the fact that the baby is currently growing and that the expectant parents value their \u201cvillage,\u201d this theme incorporates the recently popular farm-to-table movement by offering simple, fresh foods and a laidback country vibe with a cute agricultural theme that brings the parents together with the people who matter most.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you\u2019re a sprinkle purist and want to strictly adhere to a more casual, less fussy style of get-together, this is the way to accomplish it. It\u2019s classy with few frills and mindfully muted colors that focus on understated elegance and puts the focus squarely on the guest(s) of honor, rather than the decor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n These themes are similar in that they evoke images of clouds, the heavens and the sky\u2014things as wondrous as a new baby. Focus on an ethereal vibe with fluffy, soft decorations that shimmer or sparkle. Think blues, golds and all things related to the heavens: stars, clouds and angels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n With the key word here being \u201csip,\u201d you can bet drinks are involved. To make the sprinkle even more about celebrating the baby than giving gifts, one option is to wait until the baby is born. Then, invite everyone over to meet them at a time when everyone\u2014including the new parents\u2014can partake in a champagne toast in honor of the new addition. Or, prior to baby\u2019s arrival, host a paint \u2018n\u2019 sip, which offers a built-in activity. For an especially pertinent twist, have attendees paint onesies that the new little one can eventually wear. For this theme, contact an artist who can help you organize the event, or turn to bookable art studio<\/a> options.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This is an adorable play on the fact that there will soon be s\u2019more kids in the house after the baby is born. Keep the theme sweet and simple with a focus on camping and, of course, everyone\u2019s favorite chocolate, marshmallow and graham cracker campfire treat. For added authenticity, this theme is best carried out in a venue with a fire pit<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This theme is the most obvious tie-in to the type of event\u2014a sprinkle. It reinforces the idea that both the baby and the parents should be sprinkled with care and well wishes, as well as a few small gifts. Think sweet treats like doughnuts, cookies and ice cream that involve sprinkles, as well as bakery-themed decorations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The idea here is to celebrate and prepare the parents-to-be as much as the new baby. Instead of forcing the expectant parents to get dressed up (when they might just feel like staying in), this theme brings the party to them. Guests show up at the parents\u2019 home in their pajamas\u2014hair a mess, no makeup\u2014for a fun, low key gathering. While there, they\u2019ll order in, watch movies and celebrate. To make life easier on the new parents once baby arrives, attendees can bring two home-cooked meals each, which can be frozen for a time when cooking is not in the cards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This is a fun theme for repeat parents who are into astrology. With a celestial or zodiac theme, you could focus on the planets aligning to bring the parents their new baby, or on astrology to predict which characteristics the baby might have based on their birth sign. Surround guests with star-themed decorations, and, if desired, tie the sprinkle activities to horoscopes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n There\u2019s a new little gent on the way, and that\u2019s reason enough to celebrate. While gender-neutral themes have their charm, sometimes a sprinkle calls for something with a bit more boyish flair. The choice to lean into gender is entirely yours\u2014but if you do, here are some fresh, fun boy-themed sprinkle ideas<\/a> to get the party planning rolling:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Welcome your soon-to-arrive aviator with an airplane-inspired celebration. Think soft clouds of white balloons, model planes as centerpieces, and a \u201cFirst-Class Snacks\u201d station with mini pretzels, popcorn, and juice served in \u201cin-flight\u201d cups. A backdrop of blue skies and fluffy clouds makes for the perfect photo op.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If the soon-to-be big sibling is already into dinosaurs, this prehistoric party can celebrate both. Decorate with leafy greens, playful dinosaur cutouts, and footprints leading to the \u201cHatchling\u2019s Table.\u201d Serve \u201cfossil\u201d cookies and fruit skewers, and maybe add a mini dig site activity for guests to uncover small treasures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Because the family is \u201cbuilding\u201d something new, a construction theme is both adorable and symbolic. Yellow and black caution tape, toy trucks filled with snacks, and \u201cfueling station\u201d drink dispensers make it fun. Mini toolboxes can double as party favors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Channel the coziness of a cabin getaway with a lumberjack-meets-winter-woodland vibe. Red-and-black buffalo plaid tablecloths, pinecone accents, and hot cocoa with marshmallows will keep things toasty. A \u201ccampfire\u201d dessert table with s\u2019mores-inspired treats seals the deal. Browse rentable cabin venues<\/a> to find the perfect backdrop.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Celebrate the launch of a brand-new life with an outer space theme. Decorate with navy and silver balloons, glow-in-the-dark stars, and \u201crocket fuel\u201d punch. Serve planet-shaped cookies and moon pies while a backdrop of the galaxy reminds guests that this little one\u2019s future is limitless.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If there\u2019s a baby girl on the way and you\u2019d rather not go with a more neutral theme, here are some ideas that will add a bit of femininity to the soiree. We know there\u2019s a lot more that goes into executing a girl sprinkle<\/a>, but here are the basics:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Treat guests to the romance of Paris with soft pastels, Eiffel Tower accents, and caf\u00e9-style tables. Serve macarons, cream puffs, and croissants, and add a \u201cpetite caf\u00e9\u201d station for tea and coffee. A floral photo wall brings a chic finishing touch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Celebrate your little one\u2019s next chapter with a classic children\u2019s literature theme. Use vintage books as centerpieces, string illustrated pages as garlands, and serve \u201cOnce Upon a Time\u201d cupcakes. Guests can write wishes for the baby on library-style cards to place in a keepsake box. Book a cafe for a few hours<\/a> for decor that\u2019s built right in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Go beyond standard florals with a whimsical garden party. Incorporate butterflies, hanging floral hoops, and pastel parasols. Offer herbal teas, cucumber sandwiches, and petite cakes decorated with edible flowers. If outdoors, set up a low picnic table with cushions for seating. If your backyard doesn\u2019t have greenery built-in, rent a party space with a garden<\/a> for less prep time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n For a sprinkle that feels dreamy and ethereal, opt for soft lavender, cream, and gold accents. Decorate with twinkle lights, crescent moon props, and delicate star garlands. Serve \u201cstardust\u201d popcorn (sprinkled with edible glitter) and mini meringues that look like clouds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Swap the bright, bold carnival palette for soft pinks, yellows, and mint greens. Include cotton candy cones, a popcorn bar with sweet and savory flavors, and a ring toss or bean bag game. Delicate striped tents or canopies create a playful yet refined vibe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Once you\u2019ve landed on the perfect theme, don\u2019t miss our ultimate guide to baby sprinkle ideas<\/a> for decorations<\/a>, food<\/a>, and activities<\/a> to match.<\/p>\n\n\n\n At Peerspace, we know every family is unique, every baby is special, and every parent\u2019s taste is different.
