Throw A
Halloween Baby Shower!
 The
Fall season is always filled with great holiday celebrations
including Thanksgiving, Halloween. When you add the celebration of a new baby, it
makes it even more special! A
baby
shower that takes place in October has a unique element
being that it is the month when many of us focus on dressing
up with our kids. An interesting baby shower theme during
October is to have all the guests dress up in costume to
celebrate the birth of the new little one!
Baby showers that have the dress
up component can be free flowing where everyone can choose
anything that they want to wear to the baby shower. Another
plan is to have everyone dress up in a theme which offers a
little more control to the baby shower party! Some of the
more common yet still fun ideas include:
Nursery
Rhyme Theme (Dress as Mother Goose, Little Bo Peep, etc)
Favorite Book Theme (Dress as Dr. Seuss,
Goodnight Moon, etc)
Dr. Seuss Theme
Favorite Cartoon Theme
Sports Theme (if it is a boy)
Barbie or Doll Theme/Pink Theme (if it is a girl)
Baby Object Theme (Dress as bottle, diaper, etc)
Favorite Mother Theme (Dress as Mother Earth, Mother
Teresa, etc)
Alice in Wonderland or Willie Wonka Theme
 The
idea of dressing up just adds a little more fun and vivid
memories of the baby shower as well as getting everyone excited
about Halloween which is just around the corner. An
important part of planning a dress-up baby shower is to send
invites out early to make sure the guests have enough time
to plan their outfits. In addition, it is always nice to ask
the mommy-to-be if she is okay with a dress-up baby shower
since it is really her day!
Baby showers that incorporate
dress-up also make it fun to have a co-ed baby shower party
so significant others can dress as well, sometimes
complimenting their partner with their costume. Any way you
decide on having the party, the most important thing is to
have a great time and make sure the Mommy-to-Be is having a
ball! Have a great baby shower!
