How to Host a Fun and Festive Mummy Baby Shower for Halloween

Looking for a spooky yet playful way to celebrate a new arrival this fall? Did someone say Mummy?! A Mummy Baby Shower is a perfect blend of Halloween fun and baby shower tradition! Embrace the Halloween spirit with mummy-themed decorations, games, and food while honoring the "mummy-to-be." Here’s everything you need to create an unforgettable mummy baby shower. Here’s how!

‍

Invitations That Scream Halloween

Start with invitations that scream Halloween but keep the tone lighthearted and fun. Consider phrases like:

• “You’re invited to a Mummy-to-Be Baby Shower!”
• “A little one is on the way—let’s wrap up some fun!”

‍

Design the invitations with mummy illustrations, cobwebs, and playful Halloween icons. Don’t forget to ask guests to come in costume if you want to add an extra layer of fun!

Costumes for the Guests & Mummy-to-Be

Encourage guests to dress up in Halloween costumes to get everyone in the spooky spirit. For the mom-to-be, a “Mummy-to-Be” costume is a must! She can wrap herself in gauze or bandages (comfortably, of course!) and accessorize with a cute sign or sash that reads “Mummy-to-Be.”

‍

You can also offer small prizes for the best costumes, like entrance to a local hayride or haunted forest.

‍

Spooky Mummy Decor

Transform your space into a Halloween-themed baby shower with mummy-inspired decorations. Think cute rather than creepy to keep it baby shower appropriate.

• Mummy Door Entrance: Wrap your front door in white crepe paper or toilet paper to resemble a mummy and add googly eyes at the top.
• Mummy Table Centerpieces: Use baby bottles or jars wrapped in white gauze with googly eyes to create adorable mummy centerpieces.
• “Mummy-to-Be” Banner: Create a banner that says “Mummy-to-Be” to honor the guest of honor and hang it across the main event space.

‍

Keep the color scheme to classic black, white, and pops of orange to balance the Halloween theme with baby shower sweetness.

‍

Mummy-Themed Games & Activities

Every good baby shower needs fun games, and a mummy shower offers plenty of opportunities to get creative:

• Wrap the Mummy Game: Have guests compete in teams to wrap each other in toilet paper as fast as they can. The best “mummy” wins a prize!
• Guess the Baby Bump Size: Using toilet paper, have guests estimate the size of the mom-to-be’s bump. The closest guess wins.

‍

Festive Mummy Snacks

No baby shower is complete without themed snacks, and a mummy baby shower offers so many creative food options:

• Mummy Hot Dogs: Wrap mini sausages in crescent dough to look like tiny mummies and bake them until golden brown. Add dots of mustard for eyes!
• Mummy Cupcakes: Decorate cupcakes with white icing piped in strips to resemble mummy bandages, and add candy eyes for a spooky touch.
• Mummy Cake Pops: Dip cake pops in white chocolate and drizzle with more chocolate to create a mummy look. Add candy eyes for fun!
• Witches Brew: You can also serve non-alcoholic punch in a cauldron to keep the Halloween theme going.

‍

Mummy-Themed Party Favors

Send your guests home with something to remember the mummy baby shower:

• Mini Mummies: Create small mummy dolls or wrap candy in gauze to look like a little mummy as a cute party favor. You can find mummy lollipops!
• “Mummy-to-Be” Candles: Personalized candles with “Mummy-to-Be” labels make thoughtful take-home gifts that guests can enjoy long after the shower.
• Trick-or-Treat Bags: Fill small bags with ‘wrapped in love’ themed treats and goodies, like a picnic blanket or throw.

‍

A Spooky Photo Booth

Set up a mummy-themed photo booth with Halloween backdrops, fun props, and signs like “Mummy-to-Be” or “Wrapped in Love.” Guests can take photos with the mom-to-be, making it a fun way to capture memories from the shower.
