Sip and See Baby Welcome Party and Invitation Ideas

As the title suggests, A Sip and See Baby Welcome is a party after the little one arrives, and close friends and family are invited to meet baby and celebrate with cuddles and tea.

 

Since this type of party started in the South, we include tea in the wording,

but the beverage-au-jour can be anything you choose.

The main thing is the opportunity to introduce your new baby to the world.

Perhaps your baby was born during the pandemic, and you didn’t get to have a regular baby shower.

So here’s your chance, or your friends’ chance, to celebrate your family addition.

Also, perhaps an adoption didn’t allow time to have a baby shower,

so this is the perfect way to pick a convenient time to introduce everyone to baby.

 

 

How to put on a Sip and See Baby Welcome Party

There are no specific rules for a Sip and See.

You as parents can initiate the party as a chance to pick a suitable time for everyone to come and meet your baby,

or friends can host it like they would a baby shower.

It isn’t usually a big event, like the elaborate preparations often put into the baby shower.

But it is a party, and some thought and prep will need to go into it.

Invitations should include an RSVP so you know how many plan to come.

Also, list the baby registries in case guests want to bring a gift.

 

 

Choose a theme.

Although a sip and see isn’t the big deal that a baby shower might be,

it’s fun to put a little thought and planning into decorations and snack ideas.

Minimalism is big in stationery right now, and you can carry that over into the decor.

A Sip and See Baby Welcome doesn’t require a meal or many elaborate snacks.

Pick a snack such as a charcuterie board with cheese, meats and crackers, a fruit platter,

and a sweet, such as cupcakes or decorated cookies.

 

Don’t forget safety.

Your guests will surely be conscious of baby’s health,

but there’s nothing wrong with placing a bottle of hand sanitizer here and there for guests to use before handling your precious little bundle. You might even consider a sign or announcement to that effect, because face it, uncles and aunties get excited about new babies, and might forget.

Don’t be shy about laying ground rules if any children are invited. Everyone wants to hold baby, but there are limits to what a baby can handle before fatigue sets in. You don’t want a sleepless night after an exhausting party!

 

Now that the details are taken care of, let’s get to the fun stuff.

When there’s a new baby to celebrate it’s always a good idea to have a party.

Everyone wants to meet the baby and ooh and aah over her sweet, soft skin and tiny toes. And figure out exactly who he looks like.

Have fun putting on a sip and see!
