Location
When choosing your location for any event, you want to make sure you can accommodate the amount of guests you’ve invited. For a Halloween baby shower, there are so many ideas for indoor and outdoor venues.
Since it is Fall, you could consider a location like an area by a pumpkin patch. Or you could have it at home on Halloween night where you could give out candy to trick-or-treaters.
Whatever location you choose is sure to decorate the entrance. This example showcases orange and black balloons. You could also include a Halloween wreath like this witchy one in the photo.
Invitations
Here are some of the cutest Halloween baby shower invitations for this year.
A Little Boo is Almost Due! That’s one way to announce the event. Sending guests Halloween-themed invitations is key so that they know that this is not a traditional baby shower. Be sure to include on the invite that guests could come in costume if you want.
These are a sign of a groovy time. We love this invitation because it gives off Scooby-Doo vibes. There are some Groovy Ghosts and retro pumpkins on this invite so that guest could show up in their best spooky threads.
Another example of a little boo is almost due. This invitation is cute because it is similar to Casper the Friendly Ghost. So picture a nostalgic Halloween-themed baby shower to celebrate the little one.
Signage
Signage is so important because it is helpful for guests to navigate the event. And it is also a good way to decorate a baby shower. You could put signage at the entrance and different areas where there’s food, games, and activities.
This welcome sign is amazing for Halloween. We love the cobwebs placed around the sign and balloons. This is a chalkboard sign and they drew a spider web to go with the theme.
Here is a “Sweet Little Pumpkin is on the way” sign. This is also a chalkboard sign customized with pumpkins spiders and ghosts.
One of the best practices for signage is to get something versatile like a chalkboard sign and draw some Halloween elements on it to make it spooky.
Another option or signage is a backdrop with creative balloon garlands. This setup is gorgeous because there are ghosts and disco balls. This is a cute Halloween baby shower idea for parents expecting a girl.
Candy Bags
Now this wouldn’t be a Halloween party without candy. Have candy bags available for guests as party favors. Or if you are celebrating on Halloween night, pass out candy to trick-or-treaters.
Another cute idea you could do with candy is to guess how many candies are in the Halloween basket. The person who guesses the correct answer wins a prize.
Decorations
Decorations are an important part of any baby shower, but for a Halloween theme, be sure to incorporate a lot of fun spooky ideas.
This is one of the only events where you could go absolutely overboard with the decor. Whether you want the main elements to be witches, ghosts, or mummies.
Cobwebs, balloons, bats, and a spooky balloon garland are perfect for a Baby is Brewing shower. You could place little cauldrons on the table and fill them with sample cocktails or treats.
Having an appealing cake topper that goes along with the theme is a good idea as well. In this example, they have a pregnant witch as the cake topper.
Balloons are always a good decoration option, they turn any space in festive. And they are the universal symbol for “party over here.”
This is a groovy ghost-themed balloon garland composed of pink and black balloons, disco balls, and a ghost. This will look amazing at the front door, alongside the dessert table, or draped across a wall as a backdrop.
