Halloween Costume Baby Shower Theme For A Halloween Baby

Invitations

As with any other baby shower, your Halloween Costume themed baby shower needs invitations. Consider using Halloween themed invitations or creating your own custom design.

Donning Halloween Costumes

Since this is a Halloween-themed party, be sure to remind people arrive in costume! If you would like, you could also impose guidelines, such as asking your guests to wear baby-themed costumes. You can also consider providing simple costume accessories (like eye patches or princess tiaras) for the party goers who may not usually dress up for the Halloween season.

Halloween-Inspired Decorations

Decorations are another need for any party. Of course, with a Halloween-themed baby shower, you will want to use more traditional Halloween trim. Use black and orange streamers and balloons to decorate the room. You can also use traditional Halloween icons like witches, black cats, ghosts, and skeletons. To keep with the baby theme, consider using black kittens and baby ghosts as part of your decorations.

Enjoyable Games

Many usual baby shower games can be done with a Halloween touch to them or you can take Halloween games and put a baby spin on them. For example, try bobbing for instead of bobbing for apples. Play a memory game using Halloween items on the tray as well as baby ones. Mark your baby Bingo cards with orange and black crayons. You can even do things like decorate a baby shirt with a Halloween design. Consider giving guests different sized baby onesies (so you will have one for now and ones to wear in the years to come) to draw their own pumpkins, ghosts, and black cats on them.

Fun Gifts

If this is a shower for a second, third, or more baby (one where it is more about getting together than mom actually needing baby supplies), you could dare guests to bring the most inventive Halloween gifts for baby. This can be everything from baby costumes and Halloween clothing to decorations to hang in the child's room.

Halloween-Inspired Favors
Since retailers are full with trick-or-treat goodies, locating favors to send home with guests should be relatively easy. Consider getting mini treat buckets to fill with treats or Halloween-themed gift bags.

Thank You Notes

As the recipient of the party, mother-to-be will need to send out thank you notes for all the gifts received. An easy way to make this task easier for mom (who may not have much leisure time in the upcoming days) is to have guests address their envelopes while they are there (you can even have them address two if mom is planning on sending out birth announcements). Try using Halloween cards as your thank you notes to keep in the theme.

While it may sound a little unorthodox, a Halloween Costume themed baby shower can be an enjoyable way to integrate costumes and Halloween fun into the usual baby shower routine. Your party will definitely be recalled for some time to come!
