One beautiful card with everything on it.
Tell us the occasion, your colours and the mood; we paint a draft in your look to pick from.
The baby is here and everyone wants a cuddle. Invite friends and family to meet the little one over drinks and light bites, with a photo, the hours you are welcoming visitors and a reply card, so the afternoon never gets too crowded.
A short guide
Give the baby’s name, a warm line announcing the arrival, the drop-in hours, the address and a reply-by date. Rhymes and puns are popular, for example “Come for a sip, stay for a peek.” Add who is hosting, plus any note about keeping visits short or staying home if you have a cold.
Choose a date that suits you and the baby, which for many families is around six to twelve weeks after the birth, though later is fine. There is no rule. Pick a time after a usual nap and keep it to about two hours. Send the invitation two to three weeks before.
Gifts are not expected, particularly if guests already gave one at a baby shower, though many people bring something small such as a book or a meal for the freezer. The hosts can write “Just bring yourselves” on the invitation. A sip and see is about meeting the baby, not opening presents.
A baby shower usually takes place before the birth and centres on gifts and games for the parents-to-be. A sip and see comes after the birth, with no programme, and its purpose is to introduce the newborn. Some families hold one instead of a shower, and others are happy to do both.
