Baby Showers

Baby Shower Catering in Marbella

A beautifully styled daytime celebration with elegant grazing tables, delicate pastries and refreshing mocktails, hosted at your villa or a sun-soaked garden.

FlexFood turns a baby shower into a soft, sun-drenched occasion the mother-to-be will remember. Our team builds a daytime menu around fresh Andalusian produce, delicate bakes and colour-matched styling, then handles every detail quietly in the background — from a Marbella garden terrace to a villa overlooking the Mediterranean, so guests simply arrive and enjoy.

Perfect for

Ideal for mothers-to-be gathering close friends and family for an intimate daytime celebration in Marbella, Estepona or Málaga. Perfectly suited to villa terraces, private gardens or beach club lawns, and easily adapted around gender-reveal themes, dietary needs and a preferred colour palette.

What is included

  • Brunch or afternoon grazing table with seasonal Andalusian produce
  • Handcrafted sweet table with mini cakes, macarons and personalised treats
  • Alcohol-free mocktail bar and fresh infused lemonades
  • Elegant table styling in soft, colour-coordinated tones
  • Dedicated event coordinator and discreet, attentive waitstaff

A baby shower is a daytime event with a short, defined arc, usually three or four hours and often finished before the afternoon heat peaks. That shapes everything. The food is lighter and served cool or gently warm rather than fired to order, the bar is alcohol-free, and dietary questions are more specific than at other occasions: no unpasteurised cheese, no cured fish, caffeine only on request. Styling is agreed in advance down to the palette, and the sweet table is almost always the first thing guests photograph.

How we work on site

Styling sets the timing. Where there are florals, linen and hired furniture we arrive four to five hours ahead; a simpler brunch needs two. We prep in the villa kitchen when it is available and set up a working station outside when it is not. Staff scale with the guest list — a hundred guests means four chefs, twelve waiters and three bartenders, plus florists and loaders. Service is deliberately quiet, and we begin clearing while guests are still seated.

Sample menu

  • Chicken and tarragon finger sandwiches on brioche
  • Courgette and Manchego tartlets, served warm
  • Melon, cucumber and mint gazpacho shots
  • Lemon posset with Andalusian strawberries
  • Pistachio macarons and raspberry mini cakes
  • Hibiscus and citrus mocktails, entirely alcohol-free

Good to know

Is there a minimum spend for a small shower?

Yes. Every menu has a minimum guest count — ten on our buffets and BBQ — and the charge is calculated from that count rather than from how many people actually sit down. Menus start at €50 per guest, so the entry point depends on the format you choose.

How far in advance should we book?

Anywhere from one week to two years ahead is normal for us. The season runs mid-April to mid-October, and weekend dates in June and September go first. Styled showers benefit from four weeks or more for florals and palette.

Can the menu be safe for the mother-to-be?

Yes, and we build the menu around it. No unpasteurised cheese, no cured or raw fish, no undercooked eggs, caffeine only where requested. Tell us about allergies and intolerances among guests at the same time and we will plan around both.

Can you match the food and table to our colour palette?

Yes. Linen, florals, glassware and the sweet table are chosen against the palette you send us, and garnishes are selected to sit within it. Send references at booking rather than in the final week.

What happens if it is too hot on the terrace?

We plan for shade and indoor fallback from the start, and hold delicate items chilled until service. Menus are chosen with the temperature in mind: nothing sits out losing condition while guests are being photographed.

Can the menu be adapted for pregnant guests and dietary restrictions?

Absolutely. Our chefs design every baby shower menu with pasteurised ingredients, well-cooked options and clearly labelled allergens as standard. Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free guests are catered for without compromising on presentation, so the mother-to-be and every guest can enjoy the spread with complete peace of mind.

Do you provide styling, or just the food?

FlexFood offers full styling alongside catering — linen, florals, signage and a colour-coordinated sweet table can all be arranged. Many clients choose our complete package, which pairs the grazing table and mocktail bar with décor, though catering alone is also available. Prices exclude 21% VAT.
