Does anybody have some good ideas for a Sip and See party?

Question

I am throwing my best friend a Sip and See party for her and her new baby. Our theme is "angel". We have decided on finger foods, mimosas, flowers, a tip jar, and cupcakes. Is there anything else that we are forgetting? Any ideas to make it a cuter party? All ideas are welcome. Also, should we give little guest presents (like gourmet cookies) to guests as they leave?

Answer 1

Be sure to have a non-alcoholic punch, especially if she's nursing the baby:)  Pink lemonade with frozen whole strawberries, instead of ice cubes, would be nice:)  ... The cookies are a cute idea.  At Michael's, in the wedding decor aisle, they have white netting bags, with ribbon drawstrings, that are about 10 for $1:)   Maybe bowls of pink & white Jordan almonds, or jelly bellies .....You can  buy puffs of pink cotton candy in bags in the grocery;  they would look like little pink clouds, and maybe you could put some angels on them, on a dish ......These cookies are light & airy too.....

MERINGUE COOKIES

3 egg whites

1/2 tsp. salt

1 tsp. vanilla

3/4 c. sugar

1/2 c. chocolate chips (I like mini morsels)

1/2-1 c. chopped pecans

1/4 c. coconut

1-2 drops red food coloring

      Beat egg whites, salt & vanilla until stiff.  Add sugar and beat to stiff peaks.  Stir in chocolate, nuts & coconut.  Drop by spoonfuls onto brown paper bag or parchment paper on cookie sheet.  Bake at 300 for 25 mint.  Let stand 10 min. to cool before removing from paper.   Makes 3-4 doz....

Answer 2

Is the tip jar for tips for caring for baby?  You may want to include a wishing jar where guests write wishes for the new angel.  it is a great keepsake.  we did this at my daughter's christening.   Have a wonderful time.
