Planning a baby shower during the months of October and November means that you have every excuse to play a spooky baby shower with a Halloween theme. This allows you to create a fun event while spending some quality time with friends and family to celebrate the imminent arrival of a new family member.
The first point of interest is the invitations for the shower. Be as adventurous with these as you like and pick a theme that includes cauldrons, pumpkins, brooms and witches as a fun precursor to the actual party. Stick to traditional color schemes that include black, orange and red.
Decorating the room where the party is to be held is all part of the fun and with so much variety you will be spoilt for choice. Hang bats from the ceiling, have a little cauldron filled with cookies as a centrepiece or place Jack o lanterns around the room. Other festive additions include spiders, ghosts, bats, snakes and witches hats.
Create a fun outfit for the mommy-to-be to wear for the day. This could be a witches costume or perhaps you could have her dress as a baby, complete with nappy and baby bib and pacifier. Traditionally there are many games that one can play on the day.
You could create a witches brew in a black cauldron that consists of a fruit punch with a variety of red berry juices. Cherry, strawberry and cranberry juices are all red in color and are a great tasting non-alcoholic alternative. Have cups and plates that reflect the Halloween theme and decorate the table accordingly. Spiders, bats and witches hats all make good options to choose from.
Each guest takes a piece of string or ribbon and cuts it to the length they think is closest to her actual tummy size. The winner receives a gift. A spooky baby shower should always have a witches brew. Concoct a witches brew from a variety of your favorite fruit juices for a bit of spooky baby shower fun. Why not make a concoction of strawberry and cranberry for a blood colored non-alcoholic drink that tastes great!
Create a memorable and fun baby show when you use baby shower favors that are unique and distinctive. You can choose baby shower party favors to match the theme of the shower and give you guests a fun or functional gift.
