The Service
A Sip and See is a soft, joy filled gathering where loved ones are invited to meet your new baby, in the calmest, most effortless way. Think warm cups in hand, sweet conversations drifting through the room, and the chance to celebrate this new little life without the pressure of a full event. It's a moment to pause, to be present, and to surround your growing family with the people who matter most.
​
If you need a caterer, I can put you in contact with the Little Mouse Catering, who I have partnered up with to provide catering.
​Sarah provided a personal and professional service that was perfect for our event.. Communication was excellent and nothing was too much trouble.
​
The crockery and glassware were exquisite. We had so many compliments!! It really added to the day and felt so special. Would not hesitate to use again and would highly recommend to others. Delighted to have supported this business. Thanks.

In terms of what you will need to have to cater for your guests, I would suggest sandwich plates to serve the savoury items and a number of 3 tier cake stands for cakes and pastries. Depending on your numbers , if you're having sandwich plates to serve savoury items and sandwiches you would need one 3 tier cake stand for every ten guests. With regards to teapots, for every 6 guests a teapot would be needed, one to eight if alcohol is being served.
