Cold milk shots were served to wash it all down (along with some adult beverages and coffee). Of course, I designed the cake! Additional desserts included meringue cookies, white chocolate pretzels, cream puffs and cheesecake shots. Sweeties by Kim created chocolate-covered Oreos to match as well. Adorable custom sugar cookies were created by The Cookie Jar to match the theme. Delicious sweets from Caramel Swirls were served including their Little Treasures (milk caramel and shortbread cookie dipped in chocolate – yum!), Cafe Caramel Cookies and Espresso Brownies. We wanted to provide an array of miniature desserts so that guests could sample several different items. White hydrangeas were arranged in tall cylinder vases tied with black satin ribbon. The Milkaholic logo was updated to include the baby’s name and then framed for additional decoration. The theme even permeated the coffee station with mini milk bottles serving up the cream and sugar. The bottles were stacked in tall vases on ice and also mixed into the tub of adult beverages. Mini bottles were filled with milk and given sleek milk labels. Black and white patterned bunting was hung along the wall above the painting. To create a unique backdrop for the dessert table, I painted a canvas to match the party invite. With this being a co-ed event, we wanted to keep the decor more modern and less traditional ‘baby’. The back of the invite featured cow print and a turquoise “I ♥ MILK’ stripe that matched custom address labels from Minted. The Milkaholic baby bottle became a logo that was used throughout the party. Sleek and modern yet baby themed was the intent. I designed the invitation and let it set the tone for the party decor. Swiss dots and stripes were used throughout to add a fresh and modern feel. The color scheme was black and white with pops of turquoise. Yes, cow print! (I was slightly nervous about the cow print but it stepped up nicely into this mature and modern role).
‘Milkaholic’ just seemed fitting for a Sip & See considering how much time a newborn spends eating! That meant baby bottles, milk and cow print. We were honored to welcome Baby Colin with this modern Milkaholic Sip & See baby shower. Ted and Meredith anxiously waited for Colin’s birth and we were all thrilled when he officially became their son. My husband and I hosted a co-ed baby shower for our friends, Ted and Meredith, in honor of their newly adopted son, Colin. I’ve been dying to share this event with you for months! It debuted yesterday on Hostess with the Mostess (yay!) and I’m thrilled to share some additional images and details with you today.
