Rather than making an announcement, this is done through a novelty item such as a cake or, for a Latin American twist, piñata, which when cut open reveals a particular colour (pink or blue of course!). In this gathering, the focus is on the little person before, rather than after, their arrival, and guests are invited along to find out, en masse, the gender of a soon-to-arrive baby. On the same theme, another emerging practice emanating from the US is the gender reveal party. The concept of a Sip and See has been around in the US for some time, but is now growing in popularity in the UK, a trend thought partly attributable to social media, where people are picking up ideas from across the pond. Guests sip the lovely beverages on offer and in the midst of their socializing get an opportunity to see the new arrival (and politely make adoring comments, presumably).
In contrast to celebrating the birth of a baby with a few drinks, however, the Sip and See is a large, glittery affair, which may involve a special cake, champagne, and considerable expense. The Sip and See (also sometimes Sip n See or Sip and See party) is a 21st century take on the old tradition of 'wetting the baby's head'. The Sip and See … is a large, glittery affair, which may involve a special cake, champagne, and considerable expense Far from shying away from socializing or even looking at yourself in the mirror, why not invite lots of people around for a resounding knees-up where they can have a few drinks and admire the new nipper? – Enter the Sip and See. And yet there's a recently emerging craze which flies in the face of all that downcast exhaustion. I'm guessing I'm not alone in that sentiment. In those early weeks of parenthood, juggling an unsettled baby and its relentless needs against sleepless nights, the idea of throwing a big party couldn't have been further from my mind.
