What better way to celebrate a mama expecting baby number 2, 3, 4, etc. than with a sprinkle, a Donut Sprinkle! These gatherings are not full out baby showers but low-key get togethers to shower the expectant mom with a few essential gifts. Even though “sprinkles” are not full baby showers, they can still have plenty of cute decorations and yummy party food! Display these at your next baby shower or sprinkle and you are guaranteed lots of smiles and laughs from party guests.

Stick a baby pacifier in the hole of each donut! Bonus: give the pacifiers to the mama at the end of the shower for her new baby! Check with mom to see if she prefers a particular pacifier brand.

Serve with cute sprinkled Donut Party Napkins. Be sure to have some Donut Sprinkles Cellophane Bags on hand so party guests can take their pacifier donuts home! These pacifier baby donuts are sure to be a hit at any “sprinkle” or baby shower!
