4. Play the “don’t say baby” game
Can you and your guests really spend an entire baby shower without saying the word “baby” once? Probably not, but it’s worth a try and the effort will make for plenty of laughs and lots of fun. Here are the rules of the game if you haven’t played it before!
5. Halloween-themed snacks
It’s easy to find lots of recipes for delicious Halloween-themed snacks to serve at your baby shower. But if you’re not sure where to begin, here are 60 spooky Halloween party food ideas for your monster bash from Woman’s Day!
Whether you’re drawn to the spiderweb nacho spread or the pumpkin hand pies, there’s something here for every palate, and your guests will be impressed by how well you’ve stuck to the theme.
6. Serve gourmet candy
Another one of our top Halloween baby shower ideas is to serve candy since that’s half the reason many of us love Halloween! But instead of giving out the usual stuff like Hershey bars and mini bags of Skittles, go a little more high-end with your candy choices to elevate the gathering and make it adult-friendly.
Boxes of premium chocolates like the ones on this list from the New York Times would make fabulous fancy treats, especially if you display them in their beautiful boxes. And if you don’t like chocolate, Epicurious has plenty of ideas for fancy Halloween candy you might like.
7. Use googly eyes as an easy and fun decoration
The Green Spring Home has a fabulous yet simple idea for Halloween baby shower decor: stick googly eyes onto whatever you want! They suggest, for example, that you “add them to candle holders, sweet holders, containers, drinking cups, etc.”
Not only will this help strengthen the Halloween theme, but it’s also hilarious. Your guests will definitely laugh when they notice this decor choice.
8. Serve some spooky Halloween punch
This idea comes from Simply Happy Foodie, which provides an easy recipe for a spooky Halloween punch – the ideal beverage for your Halloween baby shower. In addition to the punch looking like a big bowl of blood, we love their idea of including ice cubes in the shape of hands!
All you need for this recipe is some cranberry juice, pineapple juice, frozen lemonade concentrate, and ginger ale, so it’s not only tasty but also super easy to execute.
9. Halloween balloon arch
A balloon arch is a simple and affordable way to add a festive feel to your party. Using balloons in shades of orange, silver, purple, and/or black will make your balloon arch as Halloween-y as can be! To make things even easier for yourself, you can even purchase a Halloween balloon arch-making kit like this one from Amazon.
