Sibling Shower: Celebrate the Sibling-to-Be!
It's time for April Showers! lilsugar is celebrating mamas-to-be all month with our baby shower coverage. And, we kicked off the festivities this week with a sibling shower!
Sibling Shower: Gift Guide
While a sibling shower's goal is to get the guest of honor used to the idea of being a big brother or sister so no gifts are required, but those wanting to bring a lil something should purchase a present for the child, not the mama-to-be. We've rounded up a few of our favorite things when it comes to getting tots excited about welcoming a wee one into the family! To check out the details on these options, read more
Sibling Shower: Favors
Once the sibling-to-be has been celebrated, the babes in blankets have been enjoyed and baby bingo has been played, it's time to bid the wee guests goodbye with a parting gift. In lieu of loot bags of plastic goodies, opt to tempt tots' taste buds with a crunchy chocolaty treat — hand dipped chocolate pretzel sticks.
This favor can be made up a couple of days in advance.
Sibling Shower: Games and Activities
Once you've gathered a few lil ones to celebrate the soon-to-be big sis or brother's sibling shower, let the games begin! To hold tots' attention, keep the activities short and engaging. Start with a round of baby bingo to familiarize the future sibling with items that the family's newest addition will need.
Sibling Shower: Food and Beverage
It's time to eat at our sibling shower (small soiree that gets the future big sis or bro used to the idea of having another wee one in the family)! Set out a spread fit for the family's queen bee or lil king. Tempt tots' appetites by playing to a few of the sibling-to-be's favorite foods with a twist.
Sibling Shower: Shower Attire
Leave the baby doll dress in the closet and pull out something sassy yet sensible for the expecting sibling-to-be's baby shower. Leggings and a long knit tunic will provide the comfort and stretch that a pregnant mama needs to chase after her eldest child. Keep the jewelry simple as tots are prone to tug at elongated necklaces and dangling earrings.
Sibling Shower: Décor
The key to this soiree is simplicity so all you need to decorate the sibling shower digs is some helium balloons and a sharpie marker. Make baby face balloons by drawing fun lil expressions — sleeping babe, pacifier sucking tot and yawning youngster — what ever comes to mind, on balloons of your kiddo's favorite colors. If the guests are old enough, design a few and then let the tots go wild decorating their own with washable markers.
