Fall / Autumn Baby Shower Ideas 

Every season brings its own colors and sentiments into our hearts but there is something about that crisp fall breeze and beautiful foliage all around that inspires us like no other!

And what could be more exciting than hosting a baby shower during these special months. 

The best part about hosting a fall themed baby shower is that there is plenty of room for creativity and you can take so much from nature to set up your event.

This is the one season where you can opt for vibrant bold colors or earthy rustic tones and you can’t go wrong with either.

Here are some ideas to get you started on planning the perfect fall themed baby shower for a special mommy-to-be and the tiny new life that’s getting all geared up to come in to the world. 

4 creative gender reveal pumpkin ideas

1. Painted Pumpkin Reveal:
For decorations, have cute pink and blue painted pumpkins around the room. When it's time for the reveal, have a large pumpkin that has been hollowed out and filled with pink or blue confetti or mini balloons. The parents-to-be can lift the lid to reveal the gender.

2. Pumpkin Carving:
- Carve a pumpkin with a question mark or a fun design. Inside, place colored LED lights or a smaller painted pumpkin in either pink or blue. When the carved pumpkin is lit up, it will reveal the baby's gender.

3. Pumpkin Smash:
- Hollow out a pumpkin and fill it with colored powder or confetti. When it’s time to reveal, the parents can smash the pumpkin with a mallet or hammer, releasing the colored contents in a dramatic and fun way.

4. Pumpkin Piñata:
- Create or buy a pumpkin-shaped piñata and fill it with pink or blue candies, confetti, or small toys. During the reveal, let the parents or kids break open the piñata to reveal the baby's gender in a shower of colored goodies.

These pumpkin-themed ideas are perfect for a fall gender reveal party, adding a seasonal and festive touch to the celebration!

 Little pumpkin: autumn baby shower

With pumpkins all around you, whether getting stocked up for Thanksgiving or for Halloween, this has to be one of the most obvious – and cutest – theme for a fall baby shower.

You can purchase artificial pumpkins for décor from craft stores and source real ones from pumpkin patches set up around your neighborhood.

The beauty of these are that you can find them in so many shades of orange, white and even green! Use these colors to set your tones and serve your food in hollowed ones along with baskets and wooden platters.

Small bales of straw can be used for your décor too and order a Little Pumpkin banner in jute material for your backdrop. 

From corn on the cob to pumpkin pie, pick food that goes with your theme and decorate your desserts and finger food with cute little pumpkin toppers.

Pumpkin shaped cookies could work as great favors and add in some sunflowers to add some vibrancy to your theme and bring in some more cheer to your event!

Send your loved ones home with some pumpkin shaped soaps in little favor bags with a thank you note they will cherish.

Can’t wait for my little Boo! Baby SHower

Halloween can be a little scary with witches, ghouls and goblins. But when it comes to kids and babies, you can soften it up with cute pumpkins, cats, and smiley ghosts. Making it the cutest occasion for welcoming a new baby!

With a theme like My Little Boo, you can again use pumpkins, ghosts and cats to create your main décor and keep things a bit spooky and sweet!

Some cute color combos are:

  • orange purple and green
  • pink and orange
  • light blue and orange

How fitting would this theme be for an excited mommy-to-be! Using the season as your inspiration, opt for colors such as red, gold, white and green to set your tones.

Hang an 'Apple of my Eye' banner with a red, green and white balloon garland. 

Use red, green and white simple floral arrangements around your venue and add some rustic wooden details to create that perfect vibe for your fall themed baby shower. 

String plain white onesies along the wall and have guests write sweet messages for the baby on them.

Apple baskets, mini wooden crates for your centerpieces and checkered table covers would be easy to find and set up and you can easily incorporate apples in your salads, mini tarts and pies and serve apple cider as a beverage option.
