Baby Shower question

  It depends on your culture. I haven't gone to a baby shower for a second child before. That said, since we want to still celebrate the coming of this second child, so we'll probably do a small gender reveal with a pink or blue cake or cupcakes or something like that. We still have a lot of stuff from our first born and I personally don't feel too comfortable to do a real baby shower since friends and family could feel obligated to bring gifts again. That said, my first child isn't one year old yet so the situation is different from yours. Do what you are comfortable with.

  @mrst0922, I’ve had a couple friends throw “sprinkles” (smaller than a shower…ha) that were more lowkey than their first kid, but still gave us a chance to celebrate them. Usually more of a charcuterie and chatting vibe with closer friends and family vs theme and games and everyone invited. 

  
  

  Typically, there would be a couple items they didn’t have the first time around, like a Slumberpod, Tushy Baby, or a second sound machine. Or even some new clothes, if the sibs were different sexes, like you mentioned. 
  

  
  

  I know my office will throw me one, since they have for the last couple second+ babies, but I don’t plan to do anything outside of that this time around.

  I’m not planning on having a shower (or sprinkle) for my second, but I might make a registry with items we want or need so that if people who want to get gifts ask, I can send them the link.
