I got an invitation to a Sip 'N See party to welcome a new baby. Has anyone heard of this or been to one? It is all new to me. Also, the invitation does not specify gifts. Should I bring one? I did take a gift when I visited them in the hospital when the baby was born. Thanks!!

What can I do next?

No, it is not a baby shower. It's to show off the baby at the expense of the family.

I've been to a couple of Sip n' Sees. They are so fun! Usually held for the second or third child since you don't have showers for them but everyone is still excited. No gifts were allowed at the ones I've attended. The beautiful baby is usually in an antique bassinet and we just coo over him/her. No children are allowed other than the new baby in most situations - the focus should be on the new baby.

I've been to a couple of these. Some brought presents and some didn't. I think if the present was brought to the hospital or whatever, folks didn't bring them. I didn't because I'd given mine. This is pretty much just a welcome home party for the baby and a chance for everyone to see the nursery, etc, if the showers weren't held there. The ones I've been to were very laid back.

Hi.

We just got invited to one too. Ours will be a meal and a chance to see the baby and the family. Like a shower but for whole families in our case and obviously after the baby is already here.

I also gave a gift after the baby was born, but I'll take a card and a small gift with me to this party too. If money is an issue, just a card would be fine, or everyone seems to be having clearance sales right now and you could get some small thing for a few dollars. The general idea is to enjoy the new baby and the family.

Hey, I think it's kind of a new thing. I never had one but have been invited to them. When I've been not everyone had gifts. It was more of a chance to drop in and see the baby.

I had a sip-n-see for my daughter! It is instead of a shower. I had it for my 2nd child so as not to have another shower and I wanted to schedule a time for ppl to come visit so they did not show up at all different times unexpected. I had a champagne brunch and had the hours open for 2 hours so people could come and go. It is more informal from a shower and no games, just meeting and greeting the new little one. Everyone did bring a gift and if you have already brought one, you do not need to bring another. If you did not want to show up empty handed, you could bring something small or just a card or maybe some diapers and wipes with a note that says, "in addition to our other gift, a little something you will be needing".
have fun!

A Sip and See is basically a casual type of baby shower that’s held AFTER baby arrives instead of before. Friends and family are invited to drop by “open house style” within a certain time frame to meet the baby (see) and enjoy light food & drinks(sip).
