Wedding Sprinkles

Missy, on July 19, 2018 at 7:20 PM Posted in Parties and Events 0 7

I have heard of people throwing "sprinkles" instead of showers for 2nd babies, especially if the opposite sex. Our grown children want to throw us a Sprinkle Wedding Shower for our 2nd wedding. Has anyone done this? It would be a much smaller scale, and in fact they would like to recommend instead of home gifts, which we do not need, if people would like to give a gift card to things for us to continue to go on date nights. We are almost 50, and the idea seems a bit silly to me. I am curious what others have heard about these "sprinkles" for 2nd weddings.

    I'm never a fan of asking for cash or gift cards for any event. If a couple doesn't need anything for the home, they shouldn't have a shower.

    Instead of a sprinkle, why not have a really nice engagement party?

    I have never heard of Sprinkles, I was a second time bride myself. Just respectfully pass on showers.

    I think I would do an engagement party or nothing at all. No gifts are usually given for engagement parties.

    I think I am going to just stick with my gut of nothing at all. We have been engaged for 1 1/2 years already, so don't feel the engagement party is right either. That is the nice thing of this I Do Take 2! We can make our own path to follow and not have to worry about how it is typically done.

    Hi Missy! Sticking with your gut is always a good idea. I love your thought process about your "I Do Take 2" details being completely what YOU and your fiancé want and envision them to be.

    It's your big day, regardless of the number, so doing what makes you happy and what you're comfortable with is always important.

    How are the rest of your wedding planning details coming along? Are you having a bridal party and any other traditional (on non-traditional) details? Smiley smile

    We have sprinkles in the south all the time. Mostly, like you said, for second babies. We are having this same conundrum. This will be my second wedding and fiance's first, but we've been living together for four years. We will probably end up having an engagement party here as well as an engagement sprinkle back home when we visit. Southern folk love to give gifts even if you say that none are required. We just want you to think of us when you look at your home decor. lol
