Anyone throwing a 'sprinkle' for a loved one?

I need advice.  I have a SIL due in June and a best friend due in Sept., both with DS #2 (So many boys in my circle right now).  I want to do something VERY low key with just their moms, siblings and Best friends (2 Separate gatherings in case that was not clear).  Have any of you thrown a loved one a "Sprinkle" for child #2 and what was involved in it? I was thinking just a few of us getting together for a light lunch at my house, chit chat and gifts?  If anyone is currently hoping for a sprinkle, what do you envision?

    I think it's thoughtful. 

    We did a diaper shower (similar to a sprinkle) for a girl in my Bunco group expecting triplets.  It was pretty low key...outdoors, Sunday afternoon, just snacks (appetizers and dips), cake and drinks.

    Some friends just through a sprinkle for me a couple of weeks ago.  It was exactly as you described your idea.  It was perfect.  I felt weird about having another shower (especially when our first is still so young).  But my friend explained it as: "We still want to celebrate #2's life."  It made me feel less weird about it.  We had a great girls lunch and I got a couple of gifts.  It really was such a thoughtful gesture!

    I would love it if someone did something like that for me. Sounds perfect.

    I hosted one for my SIL. We did have it after her girl was more so it also worked as a "showing off the baby party" I found some really cute invites on line (send me a PM & I can send them to you).

    I did exactly that for my cousin. It was fun.

    I'm going to a sprinkle in a couple weeks for my SIL. My nephew is 6wks old right now, but her sister is having a girls night- pass the baby around sprinkle type thing at a restaurant.

    I just went to one a few weeks ago.  We left our kids with our husbands and went out to dinner just the girls.  We brought small gifts.  It was a wonderful time.

    Thanks for the advice ladies, I now have some good ideas. 

    Um...so I am such a nest virgin, how do you send a PM? (hangs head in embarrassment...)
