Sip an see?

For anyone who has had a sip an see or meet an greet after baby was born INSTEAD of a baby shower how old was your baby? I really don't want a baby shower, it wasn't  offered to be thrown and i feel it's pointless to spend hundreds of dollars on a shower myself  when that money could go towards the baby so I was thinking a sip an see because I'm not having hospital visitors either besides my IMMEDIATE FAMILY. the baby would remain in her bassinet, only being held by the people who I know have had the whooping couch vaccine which is my immediate family. I will serve drinks an refreshments an there will be decorations at my house. I will give a 4 hour visitation window so everyone doesn't have to be there at once and gifts would be welcome. I want to know who else has done this how did it turn out and how old do you recommend the baby is?
