Calling all Halloween enthusiasts! 🎃👻 If you’re expecting a little pumpkin, there’s no better way to celebrate than with a Halloween-themed baby shower. Equal parts spooky and sweet, this theme brings all the festive fun while putting the “boo” in baby shower. Here’s how to plan a hauntingly delightful event that will leave your guests spellbound.

Pick the Perfect Date

A Halloween-themed baby shower is all about embracing the holiday vibes, so aim to celebrate as close to Halloween as possible. 🎃 Weekends before Halloween or even the big day itself are perfect for setting the spooky tone and celebrating your little ghost or ghoul.

Invitations That’ll Have Guests Dying to Attend

Set the mood with invitations that are spooky, playful, and oh-so-Halloween:

What to Say

Here are some eerie yet adorable wording ideas:

  • “A little pumpkin is on the way—join us for a spook-tacular baby shower!”
  • “Witch way to the baby shower? 🎃 It’s happening at [insert location]!”
  • “Ghosts, ghouls, and little ones too—let’s shower this mummy-to-be with love!”

Digital or Paper?

  • Digital Invitations: Create eerie invites on Canva and share them via your Villie Baby Page for an eco-friendly and hassle-free option.
  • Printed Invitations: Look for designs with pumpkins, black cats, witches, or baby ghosts for the perfect touch.

Costumes That Cast a Spell

One of the highlights of a Halloween baby shower? Costumes! Encourage your guests to come dressed in their spookiest, funniest, or most creative Halloween outfits.

For the Mummy-to-Be

  • Mom-to-Be Costume: A glowing witch, whimsical fairy, or even a stylish pumpkin are all fun options. Add accessories like a “Mummy-to-Be” sash or a baby bump embellishment for an extra-special look.
  • Alternative Ideas: She could even dress as the Queen of Pumpkins or a glamorous vampire for some spooky elegance.

For Guests

  • Host a mini costume contest with prizes for categories like "Spookiest," "Most Creative," or "Best Group Costume."
  • Bonus points if their costumes tie into the baby shower theme!
