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 guests to come in costume! If you would like, you could also impose restrictions, such as asking your guests to wear baby-themed costumes. You can also consider giving out 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 must for any party. Of course, with a Halloween-themed baby shower, you will want to apply more traditional Halloween trim. Look for black and orange streamers and balloons to decorate the room. You can also use traditional Halloween props like witches, black cats, ghosts, and skeletons. To keep with the baby theme, consider using black kittens and baby ghosts as some 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 accessories on the tray as well as baby ones. Mark your baby Bingo cards with orange and black markers. You can even do things like decorate a baby shirt with a Halloween theme. Consider giving guests different sized baby onesies (so you will have one for now and ones to use in the years to come) to draw their own pumpkins, ghosts, and black cats on them. Entertaining 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 items), you could dare guests to bring the most creative 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 the stores are crammed with trick-or-treat goodies, locating favors to send home with guests should be relatively easy. Consider getting mini treat buckets to fill with goodies 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 free 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 Halloween spirit. While it may sound a little unorthodox, a Halloween Costume themed baby shower can be a fun way to incorporate costumes and Halloween fun into the usual baby shower routine. Your party will certainly be recalled for some time to come!
