As this was our third child, and we already have one of each gender, we have everything we need. However, I believe that each baby should be cherished and celebrated. That's why we chose to forego a baby shower and opted for a Sip and See. This would allow everyone to come together and celebrate the newest addition to our family, since we waited until after the baby is born for the get together.

Everyone who knows me, knows I love planning and hosting parties, but I chose to outsource this one, calling upon The Perfect Party Design, based in Olathe. Planning an event, regardless of its size, can be a daunting and time-consuming task. By entrusting your event to the professionals at The Perfect Party Design, you can focus on enjoying the occasion rather than getting bogged down in the details. Thata and her team handled all the details, turning my party vision into reality.
Planning a Sip and See party requires special consideration for the comfort and well-being of the new baby and the parents. Timing is crucial; it's important to wait until the family feels ready to have guests around the infant, usually a few weeks or months after the baby's arrival. You'll also want to take into account baby's age and time of year (in order to avoid seasonal illnesses, like the flu, etc.) and if there are or were any complications that baby or mom endured. Some women in the fourth trimester may feel overwhelmed at the thought of having to host and socialize with so many people in one setting. That's why we chose to keep it casual. For our special event, we had guests drop by at their convenience during set hours, ensuring that we weren't overwhelmed by hosting duties.
Utilizing an event planning service such as The Perfect Party Design can transform your occasion from a simple gathering into a memorable experience. There are several compelling reasons why enlisting professional assistance can make a significant difference in the outcome of your event. First and foremost, the expertise and experience that a specialized service brings to the table are invaluable. The Perfect Party Design can save you time and reduce stress, as they handle all the decorating logistics, recommend vendors, and troubleshoot any issues that arise, ensuring that everything runs smoothly. This peace of mind is priceless, especially for significant events such as weddings, milestone birthday celebrations, or corporate gatherings.
I took a tour of the venue, shared my Pinterest-inspo board with them and had one in-person consultant meeting. At that meeting, she pulled out a blank piece of paper and sketched out her vision of the backdrop for photos, and it was jaw-dropping. More than anything I would have expected! Thata and her team’s creativity knows no bounds, constantly coming up with innovative solutions to ensure that party design elements aren't repeated, making your event unique and surpassing your expectations. Everyone on her team has an eye for the small details, a heart full of compassion and a mind brimming with ideas!
