Baby Sprinkle // Bowties and Buttons

I was so excited when my friend Tiffani of Creative Designs and Events asked me to come take pictures at her sister’s Baby Sprinkle… and then I had to ask what a Baby Sprinkle was! Have you ever heard of it?? It was a new one for me, but I love the idea! I’ll let her explain what it is below and she describes the ADORABLE bowties and buttons theme for this cute baby shower.

Tiffani said, “I threw a Baby Sprinkle for my sister, several people have asked what is a Baby Sprinkle? A Baby Sprinkle is a celebration of the birth of a second child. It’s a intimate and simpler party for the mother, since she probably still have the bigger items from the first pregnancy. So since my sister was having her second child we decided to throw a Baby Sprinkle. Since she is having a boy, I chose a Buttons and Bow-tie Theme and using navy/white stripes and Kelly green as the colors. I tried to incorporate the colors into all of the details…”

“Since my sister is a graphic designer, she designed the invitations and added a liner to the envelopes. So once guest received the invitations they knew exactly what to expect at the sprinkle…”

“For the menu, I chose foods that my sister enjoys eating. So we had Boneless Buffalo Wings and Chicken Strips her favorite! I always make a fruit tart that my family really enjoys, so I created a bite size version of the dessert, using blueberries. I made the straw flags in a cute navy and white ribbon to accent the white cups. I used blueberries and limes to bring the colors into the punch and garnish it, making for a very tasty punch!”

“For the food table, I wanted to use all white serving dishes to keep everything clean and crisp. I made runners for the tables from fabric remnants that my sister gave me. I added paper bow-ties and buttons to dress up the napkins. I created mini green bow-ties for guest to wear once they arrived to the sprinkle. Bow-ties and buttons were accented through out the entire sprinkle.”

I just love this idea — what do y’all think!?

p.s. I will be out of the country this week shooting a wedding so I will return your emails or calls Monday September 12th!
