12/16/2023 0 Comments Sip and seeSince there’s not a whole lot of obviously “baby” stuff happening on top of the table, I thought a onesie banner was in order to help highlight the occasion more obviously. The mini Quarterback, MVP, and Coach flags can be downloaded below. If you’re hosting for someone else, the glassware can also double as a thoughtful gift for mom and dad after the party. There’s a wine glass for mom, a beer mug for dad – (both from NFL Homegating) – and a DIY painted bottle for baby (a.k.a. “Football Family” Centerpieceįirst up is this decorative drinkware display, which is a nod to both parts of the theme (sipping and NFL), as well as to the family that’s being celebrated. Since this drink station is also the focal point of the party (similar to how styled dessert tables are often treated), I have a few decorative tips from it to share with you too… :) 1. I’m a big fan of wine myself… and this is a CELEBRATION, after all! These team-branded stemless wine glasses feel a little more sporty and “Homegating friendly” to me: You’ll probably also need to clean out your fridge. Space for cold drinks can often be an issue, and it’s fine to use your refrigerator as a solution for this! Just make sure to set out a note that lets guests know that more beverages are available for them in the fridge. Speaking of fun names, I couldn’t resist calling the iced tea “Safe-TEA” as a play on the football position/play. For an extra point though, throw in some lime sherbet and/or champagne! It’s just store-bought green fruit punch (kiwi strawberry flavor) + lemon-lime soda. This “ Touchdown” Punch is simple yet tasty. I always like to offer one party punch with a fun name that matches the theme + the standard basics (water, iced tea, wine, beer, soda). Make sure to have a variety of options available for people of different ages and tastes. Since this is a SIP and See, drinks are key of course! Set up a station that makes it easy for guests to help themselves. Plus, the next NFL season will be here before we know it! P.S. Even though this NFL season is coming to an end soon, all of these ideas would work great at a regular football-inspired baby shower too, which can happen year-round. I also designed the football printables featured here in black and white so that they can work with any team color palette! I stuck with my own favorite team here (of course!), but you can easily swap out the Raiders glasses and serveware with versions that feature your own favorite team. So with this in mind, I’m excited to team up with NFL Homegating to bring you some inspiration for hosting your own NFL Inspired Sip and See! NFL Homegating is all about celebrating your team at home. They’ve got something to focus on while you’re busy chatting with others, and you’ve got a great theme to work with… your favorite NFL team! Or the favorite team of the guests of honor, if you’re hosting this party for a friend. Timing a Sip and See to align with an NFL game provides the perfect extra entertainment for your guests: it’s fun, it’s social, and, most importantly, it’s low-maintenance. One big thing to consider though: not everyone can hold the baby at once, which means it’s a good idea to have something else to keep your guests entertained too. It’s a fun excuse to get together, AND it saves new parents from having to accommodate the various schedules of a zillion different people that are all anxious to meet their little one. They can stay for a while or just pop in for a few minutes. In case you’re not familiar with the term, a “Sip and See” is an open-house style gathering where several people come over to meet a new baby within a specified window of time. □ You can edit the custom text yourself – right on the website – whenever (and as often as) you need to!

NFL Homegating is like tailgating in the comfort of your own home – which is fun on its own – but even more so with a brand new baby to show off! ) This football themed Sip and See might be my favorite idea for a new baby celebration to date!
