Fall Themed Baby Shower Ideas

Fall is a wonderful time to have a baby shower. The weather is changing. The leaves become bright and colorful and the mood is simply festive. A fall themed baby shower is a great idea for any hostess. There is so many different way to express the baby shower theme.

When choosing decorations for the fall themed baby shower remember to use colors that re representative of fall. Hues of brown orange and dark red are all color to consider. If it is Thanksgiving time there will be plenty of stores with fall decorations. Pumpkins and colorful leaves are two fall favorites. Pumpkins are a good indicator of fall so using one as a centerpiece at the baby shower or having some staged around the home would be a good idea. Keep in mind that any decorations including eating utensils should be brown, orange or red to keep with the baby shower theme. Fall colors are fun so it might be a good idea to mix the colors and make beautiful collages.

There are a large number of fall themed baby shower invitations available. For those who wish to show their creative side. They can cut out leaf shapes using construction paper and decorate them with glitter and other decorative items. Leaf invitations can also be purchased from several retail stores. For party favors, scented candles, potpourri, and fruit are all good party favors to hand out. However no party is complete without treats so candy and cookies are a definite must. Fruit is also big during the fall season. So fruit baskets or something similar to that would be good for a fall themed baby shower. Apple cider must also be served, that is the drink of the season.

The games can also be related to fall. Hand out paper with a leaf pattern on it and ask every guest to design a leaf for the new baby. Ask them to put a few words on there to express their excitement to meet them and then have everyone to share their creation. This is a great ice breaker and a way to commemorate a very special and important occasion. Another game is to get several baskets and feel them with hay. Bury baby items in them such pacifiers, diapers, safety pin etc. Make a list of the items and have all the guests search for the items and whoever completes the task the fastest is the winner. Make sure to have good prizes such as picture frames, candles, mugs and scented lotions. Another fun game is to collect a baby photo from each guests and everyone has to try and pick which photo is the mother of the baby. This game is a lot harder than it sounds.

The food should be plentiful and good at the baby shower. Fall is generally considered the harvest season so there should be an assortment available. As mentioned previously hot apple cider must be served. Pumpkin and apple pie should be served to represent fall and the cake should be decorated with leaves and pumpkins. Cookies in the shape of leaves are also an added plus and can help to add to the great food selection. There are a number of creative ways to plan a fall themed baby shower. There is no right or wrong way. Simply be creative and have fun with the baby shower theme.
