Any Cute or Unique "Sip and See" Ideas?

Hey guys!!!

We are having a "Sip & See" in the next couple of weeks and was curious if you had any great, unique or cute ideas that you have seen - maybe you did them or saw them at a "Sip and See" you may have went too :-)!  ...also, any websites you recommend!  Thanks so much for your help :-)!!!

Are you planning on having it spread throughout the day or all guests at once?  IMO as a guest it's nicer when a Sip & See or Meet the Baby is spread out.  That way I don't feel like the new grandma/aunt/whoever is waiting for a turn while I hold the baby for what feels like only 30 seconds.

If you're spreading it out, I would also suggest keeping a really simple theme (or no theme).  If you feel you must decorate (again IMO, not necessary) pick a color and the first intial of LO's name.  Have light refreshments such as finger foods, punch, and mimosas.  Cookie trays are awesome for sip & sees too!

If you'd rather have all guests at once my biggest piece of advice is to have a start AND end time.  Have someone (new daddy) enforce the end time for lingering guests.

Good luck!!

I've never been to a sip and see with decorations or themes if that's what you're asking for. They were all low-key "events" when people came between certain hours to visit the baby and munch on finger foods.

Do a quick google search. I'm not a member of pinterest, but when I googled sip and see ideas, there were a TON of cute ideas there!
