Properly nicely nicely. Higher late than by no means, I all the time say. Truly it’s fairly becoming that we’re nearly a yr up to now relating to posting about Townes’ Sip & See. As you’ll see, it was very winter wonderland vibes, so actually, we’re simply in time for the vacation season. That is the right submit for you should you’re pondering of throwing any vacation or Christmas events. And should you’re within the San Diego space, I extremely advocate working with any or all the distributors who helped us pull this collectively. Let’s get on with it.
Michael & I (and the youngsters and canine) spent the vacations in San Diego final yr and we determined to throw just a little Sip & See vacation celebration for Townes- I imply, he’s the cutest little ham and I used to be so excited to introduce him to my closest mates & household. So, similar to Zaza’s Pineapple Soirée, I need to break down each element for you, and right here they’re.
TIPS FOR THROWING A SIP & SEE:
♡ choose a theme.
In my view, should you begin with a theme, issues come collectively just a little simpler & find yourself being extra cohesive, lol – in fact. To be completely clear I flip flopped just a little with this, it went from circus, to Whoville, to winter wonderland and ended up taking a bit from each class AND I LOVED IT. My imaginative and prescient was white, snowballs, first, puffy, clouds, with a pop of robin’s egg blue. Particular, however what else is new?
When you choose your theme, the invites are the right method to give your visitors a style of the celebration. Working with Cindy from Bliss & Bone once more was a no brainer. You guys know by now she has accomplished a lot for us: marriage ceremony invites, child bathe invites, Zaza’s start announcement, Zaza’s birthday invitations. She’s unimaginable. She’s so inventive, understands how necessary particulars are are ALWAYS crushes it.
We went with a pinstripe & gold invite and a extremely cool font that simply jogs my memory of the Forties? Kinda? Anyway, as you’ll be able to see, it’s all in regards to the particulars from the prime quality card inventory, the envelope liner and the wax seal. And sure, sure, solely I, Lauryn Bosstick, would put the mistaken yr on my son’s celebration invites. What are you able to do? LOL.
Like I stated, the invite actually units the tone of the celebration and if you’d like an elevated invitation Bliss & Bone is your reply. Additionally they do evites & critically the entire scenario is so streamlined & straightforward. Can not advocate Cindy and her workforce sufficient.
♡ decor that doubles as an exercise.
A few of the highlights of this celebration have been the interactive ‘stations’ that everybody may go to. So we had a scorching chocolate bar (however like, boozy for the adults), a gingerbread constructing station, and beignet station the place you can organize them and watch them get made proper there. Evidently they have been past scrumptious.
These little stations are such a good suggestion as a result of it provides your visitors one thing to do, and the youngsters had SO MUCH FUN with it too.
♡ celebration favors
It’s all the time good to have just a little one thing on your visitors to take dwelling to recollect the occasion.
+ @tajacollection stylish, white snowflake candles:
Taja is the most effective firm to make use of for customized candles. I’ve them throughout my home, I like to offer them as presents, & for Zaza’s birthday we did a pineapple etched sq. base in sort of a frosted white. For Townes we did a frosted white with snowflake etched on it. The scent was vanilla and to say its mouthwatering is an understatement.
All Taja candles are hand-poured with soy wax & no phthalates, parabens or artificial dyes. Been a giant fan for years so I used to be so joyful to have these customized pineapple candles at Zaza’s celebration.
+ @beekeepers_naturals mind gas:
I take Beekeeper’s Naturals mind gas nearly day-after-day. It’s like liquid adderall. Child events will be A LOT, so it was enjoyable to have Beekeeper’s merchandise for the adults. The founder has been on the podcast & let me simply say, the throat spray is like magic.

If you happen to haven’t heard of Wolfie’s it’s actually an previous carousel. If you happen to’re within the San Diego space it’s a MUST. They’ve the most effective cocktails & meals and don’t get me began on the employees. They’re so good at their jobs & even dressed up like Whoville characters for the celebration. It was out of this world and tied the entire theme collectively from the second the visitors walked within the door.
We selected a household type menu with seafood towers, pomme frites with garlic aioli (to die for), Waygu beef sliders, French toast & beignets. They even did a customized drink menu with the cleverest cocktails: La la Land, Zaza’s Toy Field, Townes in Toyland.
One other factor about Wolfie’s is that they labored so nicely with Encore Occasions to streamline every part. Not one single element went previous Brittany and the Encore workforce. From establishing the recent chocolate bar, the signage, the place settings, deliveries- it was all streamlined by Encore.
♡ fairly leases.
Fancy Tables by Studio 22 offered essentially the most beautiful desk settings. They have been all white however the chargers & appy & most important plates gave it this depth & texture. All of it slot in so seamlessly with the white balloons, white candles & white roses on the tables. The cutlery the offered was additionally tremendous ornate & nearly appeared classic which was a pleasant pop since every part else was all white.

The decor- my god. The candles, the fluffy puff issues, the balloons. Bish Occasions did this beautiful white balloon instalment on the ceiling. You guys. It was magical.

They put balloons throughout the carousel, hanging from the ceiling of every desk & made the entire vibe so on level. It actually felt like a winter wonderland.
♡ meals & drinks.
As I discussed, Wolfie’s took care of the meals & drinks and it was all scrumptious and so kid-friendly. We additionally ordered customized cookies from @littlesparkscookies. Jess is so gifted and made white & robin’s egg blue cookies with a carousel horse that match the theme of the celebration completely. She additionally did some white cloud cookies and everybody was obsessed- her cookies style so good.
Each celebration wants a cake so Tara at Tara Heather Cake Design made us a customized banana cake. It was so good and never too candy, it was completely good in each means. Tremendous easy with some white snowballs that resembled the balloon decor. Tara went above and past and created an additional egg-free cake as a result of our niece has an allergy. This one was gentle pink with the identical white balls on it & they each appeared so fab sitting on the dessert desk.
There you could have it. The celebration was a complete success and everybody had lots of enjoyable (I feel, mommy obtained just a little tipsy). It meant a lot to us that everybody took the time & effort to come back see Townes across the holidays, which everyone knows is usually a batshit loopy time of yr.
