Admittedly I was aloof about family and friends offering to host a baby shower for us before our baby girl arrived. Their generosity and excitement is much appreciated and definitely shared, but we have waited and worked so long to get (and stay) pregnant that I really wanted to focus on having a healthy pregnancy and our baby getting here before we celebrated.
Now that her due date is fast approaching (ONE MONTH FROM TODAY!!), I’m starting to look at invitations for a Sip & See, 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). Whenever I need invites or announcements of any kind, I always like to check out Minted. Their designs are simple, yet elegant and just perfect. There are tons of themes, colors and styles to choose from and they use only the finest paper stock, richest inks and crisp high quality printing.
Just look at these swoon-worthy invites…. can you help me choose one?!

Each one is more darling than the last, right?
In the New Year, if you are expecting your own little bundle of joy or know someone that is, please consider ordering these gorgeous invitations, the entire Minted baby shower invitation collection can be viewed here.
As soon as I pick ours, I promise to share it with you! Oh, and soon I’ll need to select a birth announcement too.
This post was sponsored by Minted but all opinions expressed are my own. I was not paid to write this post but did receive a Minted gift card in appreciation.

I love the first two!
And I can relate to not doing a baby shower until after the baby is born, that’s how we do it in Germany.
xox
I kind of like this tradition. The plan is for Lucas to introduce his little sister to my friends. I’m excited!
the top one is definitely my favorite, but I’m a pink girl & I love all things flowery & feminine!
SO EXCITING! and I just saw your belly shot on IG, you look PHENOMENAL!
xoxo
I’ve never considered myself to be very girly girl, but I think I might be coming around.
Thank you for the compliments… I feel pretty good and I am grateful this has been an easy pregnancy, although you won’t catch any IG photos of my ginormous swollen feet! Ha ha!!
They are lovely! I never did anything before and always waited till after the birth. I guess I did what you call sip & see 🙂 xoxo
It’s a nice tradition and a good way to play it safe I think. Especially in our case. Wish you could attend. xo
I love the first two, they’re gorgeous!
The Chinese have a tradition called ‘Full Moon’, when the parents invite close friends and family to see the baby when he/ she is one month old. I prefer the name, Sip and See though 🙂
I really love everything Minted does… even before they asked me to do this piece.
I like the idea of the baby being here before any celebration is had and yes, I am partial to Sip & See too. (:
We are going to have a lot of fun at your Sip and See in March! 🙂
Yes, I know! I have heard a lot of details from Colleen and I am really excited.
