Sip and See

Dear Waverley,
I am so excited to show you pictures of your Sip and See! I had a blast putting it together for you, and I know everyone who came had fun celebrating your long-awaited arrival! 

The invites: 

Since I try to shop small business as much as possible, I went to Etsy for your party invites. I fell in love with these by pinkdahliaprintable!

The eats:

For your debut party, I went with sweets (because you are SWEET!).  I got a little crazy with pops...cake pops, chocolate covered Oreos, and chocolate dipped marshmallows. Auntie Caroline and I attempted to make dipped Rice Krispie treats, but that ended in disaster. Maybe for your first birthday :) I also did donut holes and milk shots, because why not?

 

 

The drinks:

I put out a mimosa bar for the adults, and lemonades and milk for the kids. I was secretly very excited to try the cotton candy flavored milk (and it didn't disappoint!). 

 

 

 

The decorations:

I have to tell you a story about the flowers. I ordered them in bulk from Sam's Club, and Daddy and Pemberley went to pick them up while Auntie C and I baked. Apparently your angelic big sister tipped over the bucked once they got loaded into the cart, and Daddy had to explain a gigantic water mess in the middle of Sam's to their floral department. I kind of owe him big time for dealing with that...haha!

 

The gifts:

On the entry table, I set out chocolate dipped pretzel rods for people to take as they left. On the little attached label it said "thank you for coming!". I tried to print "Love, Waverley" on the back, but our printer was just not cooperating. Again...I'll do better for your first birthday party!

Here you are, all tuckered out on the couch after your guests left. Pemberley doesn't look tired, but we all took a long family nap not too long after I took this picture :)

I wish you could remember this little party. We were proud parents, introducing you to all of our friends, and our family loved the extra time to hold and cuddle you. We heard so many remarks about how big you've gotten! And you have...it's all happening too quickly. Time seriously needs to slow down!!

I love you so so so much,
