2nd baby shower/sprinkle- is it tacky?

I plan to have one because I didn’t get to for my first, but I’m curious the judgement I’ll get.
I never understood why it’s tacky for 2 that’s like saying it’s tacky to celebrate the seconds birthday because you already have one.
But maybe that’s my view because I only have one so far

i agreee i think every baby should be celebrated butbinthinknits hard for people to justify because you have so much already from your first that you don't need to buy a ton for the next other than diapers/wipes, clothing stuff like that.

So im gonna make my seconds wet wipe themed so everyone gets the idea? 🤣🫣

I don’t think it’s tacky at all!! If you wanna do it why not??? I think it would be awesome!!

My friend did a nesting party with a diaper and wipes raffle with her second! Some people brought gift cards and cards too! It was a fun experience

that's a great idea! We unfortunately live about 10hours from our hometown or that would be amazing lol

Every baby deserves celebrating! I think every baby deserves a baby shower, and it’s very supportive for a mom.

I don’t think it’s tacky- I plan to do one- we are having our second 2.5 years after our first - I’ll put stuff like a double stroller that can be funded by multiple people, diapers, postpartum mom needs, and things that we know we need on the list. I think it’s fun and a nice way to celebrate a new life. It’s really just a party for your friends and I don’t expect much in the way of gifts.

Definitely having one again, couldn’t stand the thought of looking back at everyone celebrating my son to be but not doing the same for this baby

I wouldve loved one for my 2nd boy, but I was in the process of moving so I couldnt. Babies should be celebrated!

I’ll have a sprinkle for my 2nd,3rd, etc , I believe every child should be celebrated. Even if it’s just a house party with 10 people .

Not tacky at all whether you call it a shower or sprinkle! I personally want all of my children loved on and for them to look back and know they were celebrated in similar ways. I love your idea of being intentional about what people can bring if they want to gift something!

If we’re blessed with a 2nd baby, I plan to share a registry as I know my family will ask what they can bring (things like diapers, new set of bottles, wipes - but I’d imagine we can reuse a TON from our first). We included a line in the invite so people didn’t feel obligated to bring a gift but honestly everyone did whether it was from the registry, something to picked on their own or money/gift card.

Every baby deserves a celebration

completely agree!! Celebrate that baby.

I don’t think it’s tacky. I’m pregnant with my second (girl - first was a boy) but I’m realizing there are many many more things/replacements I need that I didn’t realize!

As someone who doesn't have two children, I have no problem celebrating someone bringing another baby into the world, even if it's the 7th.

It’s not tacky. No one is required to attend or get you a present if they don’t want to. No one is being forced to celebrate or get presents. I don’t see what’s tacky about a celebration for a baby.

I had a boy first and girl second. I did a baby sprinkle because I realized who doesn’t like to buy adorable baby girl outfits? I didn’t need any big ticket items since I saved all that from my son. I had a good turnout and it was a fun day!

Personally 2nd showers are tacky unless one of the parents is different OR there’s been a ton of time between babies like 6-7+ years. If the gender is different I think a sprinkle is appropriate. But I think a gender reveal is appropriate for every child. Usually people bring some diapers or wipes to that and get to celebrate you having another baby.

what makes additional showers/sprinkles “tacky” but not additional gender reveal celebrations? Curious on the perspective.

Money be tight why not get any help you can ♥️

we won't be able to do an official gender reveal. We live about 10 hours from our home town and my husband is a college football coach so we simply will not have time for that... which is why I was thinking a sprinkle - was going to ola it for bye week

Not tacky at all! I’m having a second one in October
