Champagne Sip & See

 I love the idea of a "sip & see", especially for babies #2 and up.  Most couples will have already aquired all the essentials from baby no. 1's shower, but celebrating the birth of each child is equally as important.  A sip &see, is essentially a baby shower thrown after the baby is born.

Tea is the traditional beverage sipped at a sip and see, but keeping with the times, I opted for Champagne.  And as a friend once said "the only person who can't drink is the new mom".   Add some Champagne flavored or colored treats (pop corn balls, candy, cupcakes, meringues) and set up a bilini bar and you're off to a great start.  For decor start with black and white baby photos, add some cute baby inspired decor (golden pacifier and rubber ducky) and finish it off with elegant florals.  I threw in this pram/stroller, because one, I think its fabulous and two, you want something pretty and easy to handle, so that guests drool over the newest addition to your family.
