WWMMD - joint baby sprinkle

[daisyn]

Maybe get her some diapers? Idk that's strange I've never been to a joint shower

[shamrockshake]

B only

[ECB]

B only. You don't know C. You don't need to get her anything, nor would i think she'd expect people who don't know her to get her something.

I've been to a joint shower, for my friend, and her BIL's wife, given by friend's in laws. I just bought a gift for my friend.

WTF is a "sprinkle"? Just a cutesy name for a baby shower, or is there some difference?

Baby showers tend to be for a first baby.  A sprinkle is usually for a a child beyond the first -with the assumption you already have many of the big items to re-use.

Wow, that's super annoying. Especially if the guest lists don't overlap a lot. I would only bring a gift for B. It is lame to have to buy for someone else's second baby when you do not know them!!! I hope the party isn't awkward, but I'm guessing it will be.

Totally fine to bring a gift for the woman you know.

[mbcdefg]

I do t think it's awful if you only bring a gift for B ... but if you have the time/budget I would bring a little something for C.

Maybe a small box of diapers, or an outfit (one of those $10-15 outfits from Target or Carter's/Costco).

Or bibs? www.amazon.com/aden-anais-Muslin-Burpy-Jungle/dp/B002SW3CAS

I think you're totally fine to only bring a gift for B. No one is going look at you sideways if you don't bring one for C.

[KaraOrNot]

It is weird to have a joint shower/sprinkle. I would bring a small gift for C.

For a minute this post title had me excited. Sprinkling baby joints. I'd go. Clearly my close friends are old.

[UnderProtest]

Very odd to have a joint baby anything. I thought from your title that it was a mother/father shower type thing, which is equally crazy. I would buy a small gift for C. In the best circumstance, she will appreciate another blanket or bottle or whatever. In the worst circumstance, she will have at least one gift to open. Either way, you look like the good guy.

[sfy]

This has happened to me but it was a birthday party. It was so weird because the two people didn't have that many people in common. I took gifts for both. Just a smaller gift card for the person I didn't know but not giving her anything felt like I was showing up half empty-handed lol.

[simpsongal]

I'd just bring 1 gift, I'm sure the other mom-to-be wouldn't expect a gift from a stranger.

This. I personally would feel super awkward if I got a gift from someone I don't know. Which is why this whole thing is a bad idea.

[followyourarrow]

This is super odd. I'd bring H a super small, inexpensive gift.

[brooke77]

I would bring a gift for my friend.

I think it would be extremely odd to give and receive a gift from someone I don't know. I'm guessing that's not the expectation...

[icedcoffee]

I don't think it's that weird to have a joint sprinkle. No different than a joint B-day party. You're only obligated to bring a gift for B, but I agree with others that I would probably pick up something small for $5-10 for C. Small pack of diapers, a onesie, etc. You can get so many cheap baby gifts. This is assuming you aren't on a tight budget. If you are then a gift for B is enough.

[mbcdefg]

Or just give C a book.

[boiler717]

I would get a baby book and card for C

[jennistarr1]

I would buy just a gift for the person you know

[hbomdiggity]

I'm sure some would buy something for C because some women go crazy buying baby gifts.

I don't buy stuff for people I don't know. If I had met her casually once or twice, I would prob do the book thing, but never laid eyes on her? nope.
