Baby Shower and Bridal Shower Bar Ideas in Tampa (Mocktails Included)

Showers are daytime, mixed-age, and often include a guest of honor who is not drinking. That calls for a bar that looks beautiful, pours light, and treats mocktails as seriously as cocktails. Here is how to plan one in Tampa.

The mimosa and spritz bar

For brunch showers, a sparkling base does the work. BigCee Exotic BarLuxe builds the drink station with fresh juices, syrups, and garnish included, so you only buy the bubbly and a bottle or two of a light spirit. Guests get a mimosa, a spritz, or a sparkling mocktail poured to order instead of a self-serve table that looks tired by noon.

Mocktails for the mom-to-be and anyone else

• A sparkling berry lemonade with fresh fruit
• A cucumber mint cooler over crushed ice
• A tropical pineapple ginger fizz
• A zero-proof version of whatever the signature cocktail is

Mocktails get the same glassware, garnish, and presentation as every other drink on the bar. For an all-mocktail shower, send a custom quote request and BigCee will build the menu around it.

How much to buy for a shower

Daytime crowds drink less. Plan on about one drink per guest per hour with a lean toward wine and bubbly. For 30 guests over 3 hours, 10 to 12 bottles of sparkling wine, 6 bottles of white or rosé, and one bottle each of vodka and a light rum covers almost everyone. Mixers, juices, ice, garnish, cups, and napkins are included in the package.

Packages that fit most showers

• Up to 25 guests: Bronze, 4 hours, $250
• 26 to 50 guests: Silver, 5 hours, $350
• 51 to 75 guests: Gold, 6 hours, $475

A shower rarely runs the full package hours, and that is fine. The price is set by guest count, so you are paying for the right size bar, not a stopwatch.

Booking the date

Enter the guest count on the booking page, sign the agreement, and pay the deposit by card. The date is secured the moment the payment clears. Have the bottles ready by 7:30 PM the day before, and the host gets to spend shower morning on the decorations instead of the drinks.
