Hello Ladies - I am extremely new to the board, just got married in May and was a big fan of the Knot so I am hoping you can provide me with some advice!
My husband's sister (who is also one of my very good friends) just found out that she is going to have a little girl after her two sons and I would love to do something for her because she's a bit nervous about having a girl after two boys. We also have another close friend who's about to have a baby girl as well (same due month) who already has one boy and she has the same reservations about having a baby girl. Would it be crazy to try and throw them both a sprinkle shower? Maybe even on the same weekend? Would it be terribly tacky if I rented out one location and used it one day for each mommy to be? What would you do?
I really don't want to do anything over the top - and honestly I don't think either mother to be expects anything, I just think it would be a nice gesture to hold a small girly based party.
Edit: Sorry for the confusion! I guess I really have no idea how long sprinkle showers typically last. I wouldn't do a joint one for both ladies, just wondering if it would be feasible to do both showers at the same venue on the same day or if that would just get too crazy.
Re: Baby Sprinkle Advice...
Even if I knew both ladies I would feel obligated to buy them the same gift, which would be annoying.
I suppose you could do them both the same day. But if I was the hostess I wouldn't. The first party might feel rushed and then you have to rush cleanup before the second party.
I think it's reasonable to reuse any decorations that you have, but I wouldn't do both parties on the same day.
