One of my very good friends, Rachelle, just had her fourth child, Quinton and since I love any reason to plan a party...we had a Sip & See.
A Sip & See is a "fancy" name for a Baby Shower for a friend that has just had her second, third or fourth child.
Apparently it's taboo to throw a Baby Shower for someone who is not having their first-born.
So, change the name and....BAM, you have a Sip & See.
Our Sip & See was "Tea-Party" themed and we asked all the girls to wear cute hats and join us for brunch to Sip on refreshments and See the new baby.
The event was a hit and it was so much fun to see all our friends and get together with just the girls...and to dress-up. I never realized how many hats I had until I loaned out 5 (yes, 5)
hats to friends....plus one for myself.
Here are some pictures of the party. Take a look and let me know what you think...
The Onsie Banner - I added a little pizazz to the onsies so Quinton could
attend church in style.

The Gift Table...
The food table - I love making party food and desserts!
So, I made yummy Spinach/Artichoke Puffs; an amazing Brownie & Chocolate Trifle and these to-die-for Oreo Truffles thanks to Jana's blog!
The lovely ladies that attended to party
More of the food table spread
For party favors, I made Chocolate Facials for each of our attendees
and packaged them in Sippy Cups

And {drum-roll please} the man of the hour, Quinton Hutchinson in
an adorable tuxedo his grandma made for him.
Overall, the event was a smashing success and I am seriously considering changing my career to Event Planning. Who wants to be my next victim...I mean, client?

DARLING idea! I absolutely love it! The onesies are so cute (how did you make them!?), the food looks yummy, the chocolate facials in sippy cups - please, so so so cute! - and best of all the tuxedo!
Way to go Jess :)
Jess, I'm slow. I just found your blog. :) Marci never updates her blog...so I only check it every so often just in case some miracle happened and she updated.
Anyway, what a cute idea for a shower. I've never heard of that, but might just have to put the idea to use for some of my friends! Who doesn't love a party?
You did a great job!! It looks fantastic! i wish I lived closer to you and could make you plan all sorts of parties for me.
OH my goodness Jess - super darling! Can I live closer to you? ;) Love the cute onesies you designed and adore the sippy cup facials - it was all just too cute!
Me! That is so cute and a very fun idea.
Awesome job Jess!! I'll let you plan my birthday party.
Seriously you amaze me. You need to show a picture of yourself channeling your Angelina Jolie changeling-ness. Had a wonderful time.
