One of the most memorable moments in life is when you are able to hold your baby in your arms in the beginning. So, if you’re planning to celebrate your baby’s arrival, a sips-and-see celebration is a great opportunity to share your joy with your family and friends. Enjoying a relaxing time while you get to know your family and friends in the midst of all the stress and strains of parenting can give you some fresh air. Also, you might have your closest family members gather in one location and have time to look at the baby instead of every party member coming in at various times to greet your baby. We will go over everything you need to know regarding a sit-and-see event, the most common manners of greeting, as well as some fun ideas for the event.

What Is A Sip-And-See Party?

Sip-and-See is a warm event for the baby. In contrast to the traditional shower for a baby, the sip-and-see party isn’t an event with a large crowd but rather an intimate gathering where parents determine an appointment and time for family and friends to get together with the baby.

The party is very easy and simple to host since all you have to bring is some food to eat as a component of the party. While guests are giddy over the adorable baby, parents have the chance to dress stylishly and break away from the usual.

Why Is This Party Called Sip-And-See?

The tradition began in the Southern regions of the US, in which parents of newborns invited their family and guests over to sip some drinks and watch the baby’s birth. Thus, the name is sip-and-see.

When To Hold A Sip-And-See Party?

The parents of the new baby usually organize a party two or three months later after their child has been born. But, there aren’t any strict rules or guidelines since the primary purpose of this event will be to show your child into the world. Parents are able to organize it according to their preferences. Be sure that your child has the maturity to handle the pressure and fight off diseases that individuals can spread.

Why Do New Parents Have A Sip-And-See Party?

Your immediate family members and close friends may go to the hospital or even your home to visit the infant. However, for other visitors, it is possible to hold an event where you sip and see because it has some benefits.

By establishing a date, you will avoid unplanned visits to your home with random timings. This gives you the time and space needed to recuperate from childbirth and bond with your baby.

Sip-and-see parties give the stressed young parents enough time they require to ensure that the home and themselves are attractive to guests.

Newborns don’t have an established defense system. Therefore, it is important to keep your infant away from people who visit frequently. Since a sip-and-see event is only held once the baby is old enough, the danger of getting a virus is reduced.

The guests will not have to worry about the shame of disturbing parents and babies in a strange manner.

Sip-and-see parties are an ideal setting for the newlyweds and guests to get acquainted with one another.

How To Host A Sip-And-See Party?

If you’re a brand new parent and you are planning to host a party and want to know more about it, read this article to find out the different aspects you must consider for it.

A guestlist: You can invite women and men to a drink-and-see event. Typically, family members or friends will be asked. However, you can extend the invitation to your friends, neighbors, and other people too. It is advisable to host a small gathering.

Invitees: When you’ve decided on your date, timing, location, and guest list for the sip-and-see celebration, make sure that the invitations are prepared. Because this event isn’t as formal as an infant shower, invitations are easy to design and distributed to guests a couple of weeks before the date. It is important to include the time of the event and the beginning and end of the celebration to ensure that guests arrive on time. Make sure you only call close friends and family members and not everyone you know.

It’s the drinks. In the past, tea and coffee are served to guests. You can add champagne, beer, or wine to the preferences of the guests. It is also possible to make cocktails with fruit, a punch, and other juices for children as well as guests who do not drink alcohol.

What to eat: You may not be able to prepare an extravagant menu stuffed with exotic food items for your guests to eat. Instead, opt for simple snacks like macaroons, finger sandwiches, chips and dips, cookies, or chicken wings. However, if you’d like to plan a more elaborate menu, you can decide to do that. You could ask the caterer to provide samples of the foods they offer prior to placing an order.

The decorations: It all depends on the type of event you are interested in as well as the amount of time and effort you have available. If you’re organizing a basic party, make sure to keep the décor basic with a few images of your baby and some paper-based designs that you can make yourself. However, should you have some theme in mind and you are planning accordingly, then think about the music. We will discuss the decorations in the next section.

Things To Consider While Hosting A Sip-And-See Party

The focus of attention is on the infant. However, they are delicate to be handled with care. To ease the burden on both your baby as well as the guests, there are a few suggestions to adhere to:

The time of the event should be set so that it does not disrupt the baby’s sleep routine. Limit the party’s duration to 2 hours so as not to exhaust the infant.

It is best to hold the event at home because you’ll have everything at hand. However, if this isn’t feasible, try to keep the venue close to your home.

Make sure to keep a handwash or Sanitizer in your bag for guests to wash their hands prior to taking care of the baby.

The guests would be looking forward to getting a glimpse of the infant. Be careful not to over-handle the baby because it could be overwhelming for the baby. If the baby is asleep, guests may be able to see the baby before coming out.

Put a scrapbook in an area and invite participants to submit their top wishes for the baby. They can be added to the baby’s book; it will make a great keepsake.

Have fun and cut stars and animal shapes out of cardboard. Request attendees to sign their wishes in each one. Join them to create an infant’s crib, then put it in the crib of your baby.
