5 Halloween Baby Shower Themes That Are More Sweet Than Spooky

If you’re planning a baby shower in October, you’re in for a treat. Halloween brings the perfect mix of cozy vibes, fall colors, and playful fun and it’s the ideal season to host a baby shower that’s festive, memorable, and just the right amount of spooky-cute.

Whether you’re planning a shower for your best friend, your sister, or yourself, these five Halloween baby shower themes will give you all the inspiration you need. We’re talking pumpkins, onesies, and baby bumps wrapped in fall magic.

Here are five adorable Halloween baby shower themes moms will love and a few ideas to make them unforgettable.

1. A Little Pumpkin is on the Way

This one is a classic fall favorite and works perfectly for a baby shower in October. Use soft oranges, warm browns, and creams to set the tone. Decorate with real pumpkins, hay bales, and cozy blankets. Add in touches of twine, burlap, and wooden signage for that farmhouse feel.

Activity idea: Set up a personalized pumpkin-themed coloring tablecloth. Not only does it act as adorable table decor, but it’s also a fun and calming activity for guests of all ages. Kids and adults can color in little pumpkins, baby bottles, leaves, and more...all customized with the baby’s name and shower date. It keeps little hands busy and creates a sweet keepsake for the parents-to-be.

2. Boo-tiful Baby on the Way

For a lighthearted ghost theme, go with lots of white, silver, and pastels mixed with cute little ghost shapes. Think more friendly Casper than haunted house. You can serve ghost-shaped cookies, decorate with floating tissue paper ghosts, and hang signs that say things like “Cutest little boo.”

Want to take it up a notch? Set up a DIY baby ghost plushie craft table or have a “Guess the Due Date” sign on a ghost-themed calendar board.

3. Mummy to Be

Celebrate the mom-to-be with a clever mummy theme. Think neutral colors with pops of gold or blush, gauzy fabrics, and Egyptian touches like baby hieroglyphics or gold accents.

Serve “wrapped” finger foods like mini hot dogs in crescent rolls and wrap your water bottles with mummy eyes and white tape. A fun photo booth with toilet paper mummy wraps makes for great laughs and keeps the party playful.

4. Witching You a Happy Baby Shower

This one is perfect for a moody, modern vibe. Decorate with cauldrons, broomsticks, potion bottles, and hints of black, deep purple, and emerald green. Think Halloween, but chic. You can even serve mocktails in little potion bottles labeled with names like “Witch’s Brew” or “Mama’s Elixir.”

Set up a make-your-own spell jar station where guests can write down wishes for the baby and mom and fill mini jars with dried herbs, flowers, or glitter.

5. Monster Baby Bash

Make it bright, bold, and silly with a monster-themed bash. Use goofy monster faces, eyeballs, and vibrant colors like lime green, orange, and purple. This one is especially great if kids are invited.

Decorate cupcakes to look like different monsters, set up a “build your own monster” craft table, and add funny signs like “Momster in Training.”

This theme is all about fun and laughter just what every expecting mama needs.

Wrapping It Up...

A Halloween baby shower can be as cute or quirky as you want it to be. Whether you go for rustic pumpkins, playful ghosts, or chic witchy vibes, the season gives you so many ways to celebrate a new little life on the way.

Don’t forget to include meaningful activities like a personalized coloring tablecloth. It brings guests together around the table, adds a hands-on creative moment, and leaves the mama-to-be with something to treasure after the last cupcake is gone.

So grab your candy corn, hang the bats, and get ready to throw the sweetest Halloween baby shower ever.
