How to plan a baby shower in Marseille
Pick the date, gather your loved ones, lay a beautiful table: here is how to prepare the party celebrating baby's arrival with ease, in an all-pink setting in the east of the city.
Start by choosing the place
The first decision is the venue. Tucked away in La Valentine, in the 13011 district, Yona already brings together everything a baby shower needs: a ceiling of pink flowers, velvet banquettes and soft light that flatters every keepsake photo.
The benefit is immediate: nothing to decorate, nothing to tidy afterwards. You book your table, you gather your loved ones, and the planning comes down to enjoying the moment.
A baby shower, step by step
Set the date
A weekday or weekend afternoon, ideally a few weeks before the due date. Book in advance, especially from Friday to Sunday.
Gather the guests
Friends, sisters, cousins, family: confirm your numbers when booking so the table is laid to the right size.
Build the table
Sweet, savoury or both: choose from the menu according to the wishes of the mum-to-be and her guests.
Enjoy the party
Games, gifts, garlands: you bring the personal touch, the team handles the service and the setting does the rest.
Six ideas for a baby shower to remember
The all-pink theme
Match the table to the setting: pink treats, girly drinks and garlands. An easy thread to hold, and one that always shines.
A sweet & savoury table
Not every guest has a sweet tooth: a few savoury bites alongside the pastries, and everyone builds the plate that suits them.
The gift corner
A little table dedicated to parcels and kind words: the mum-to-be opens, marvels, and the party quietly picks up where it left off.
The photo wall
The flower wall and gilded frames work as a studio: capture the table, the baby bump and the whole gang together.
Games with friends
Guessing the name, betting on the date, small challenges: a few simple games are enough to get everyone laughing around the table.
The take-away format
Fancy celebrating at home? Our catering service builds a girly, generous buffet to take away, and the party happens at your place.
A table designed for sharing
Sweet delights, sharing boards and all-pink drinks: a baby shower table comes together like a brunch, dipping into a little of everything through the afternoon.
For a larger group or a tailor-made reception, our catering service designs a girly, generous buffet with you, on site or to take away.
