Looking for halloween baby shower ideas that are more sweet than scary? Little ghost cupcakes, pumpkin favors and playful balloon displays give you plenty to choose from.
There are pretty pastel options here too, so you don’t have to stick with orange and black.
You can keep things simple or go all out. Start with a welcome sign you love, then pick a few treats and decorations to match. Those tiny pumpkins with pink bows are definitely worth a look!
Halloween Baby Shower Ideas to Save
little pumpkin pops
We’re starting off strong with these adorable pumpkin-shaped pops. I love the mix of orange and white with those little green leaves.
The curling vines are such a pretty detail.
Ask for a similar mix of colors if you want your dessert tray to match a pumpkin-themed shower.
googly-eyed balloon spiders
How cute is that giant balloon spider? Its long black legs stretch across a white web, with orange and peach balloon clusters on the other side.
For your own shower, try swapping the gold lettering for the baby's name or a short welcome message. Keep the silly eyes if you want cute rather than creepy.
a little boo welcome sign
This welcome sign may just be one of my favorites here. The little ghost, orange stars and striped bottom border are so cute together.
The words “a little BOO is almost due!” give you a sweet theme to carry through the party. Try the same ghost illustration on your invitations too.
pumpkin tic-tac-toe
If you’re looking for a game to include at a family-friendly shower, try pumpkin tic-tac-toe. These white boards have bold black grids, with orange and white pumpkins taking the place of Xs and Os.
The boards here sit on straw bales. A low table could be another way to set yours up.
pink ghost cupcakes
I am obsessed with these ghost cupcakes. The pale pink tops and little white ghosts are just too adorable together.
Each face only has tiny black eyes and an open mouth, so there’s no need for lots of extra decoration.
pumpkins with pink bows
How sweet is this cake? The pumpkin toppers have little pink bows, with a pink “Welcome Little Pumpkin” plaque on the white upper tier.
I especially love the rows of white, pink and peach rosettes around the bottom. Save this one if you want a pumpkin cake without the jack-o’-lantern faces.
jack-o’-lantern roses
Don’t want to go all out with a huge floral display? No problem!
Try a smiling pumpkin container filled with orange-yellow roses like this one.
The pinkish edges on the petals are so pretty. A black table covering with white spiderwebs brings the Halloween details right underneath the flowers.

smiling ghost welcome
This is another lovely welcome sign, but it’s a little simpler than the striped one above. White smiling ghosts surround the black lettering on a beige background.
I love the little white ties holding it to the copper-colored stand. Leave the space around yours clear if you want the same understated look.
mini pumpkin favors
If you are looking for something simple to give your guests, this one is for you. Orange and white mini pumpkins fill a basket, each with a round thank-you tag tied around its stem.
Add a small sign beside your own basket so guests know they can take one home.
blue balloons and a little boo
Who says Halloween decorations have to be orange and black? This backdrop idea pairs pale blue, white and gray balloons with tiny bat details and a smiling ghost.

I love the big white “BOO” lettering on the blue panel. For your version, try battery-operated candles beside the pumpkins at the bottom.
witch hats and crowns
The pink and green pairing is so cute on these cupcakes. Black witch-hat toppers sit above bright green swirls while yellow crowns decorate the pale pink ones.
If you want a little storybook twist on your dessert table, this is a fun way to do it.
a purple bottle-game station
This game display brings in a different Halloween color combination. Baby bottles filled with red liquid surround an orange sign on a purple witch-hat-shaped tray.
The sign describes a bottle-chugging race. If speed games aren’t your thing, you could borrow the display for a guess-the-drink activity instead.
orange and black photo corner
I am in love with this balloon arch. The burnt-orange, black and cream clusters look so pretty around the tall curved-back chair.
A checked throw and a black “Hocus Pocus” pillow finish the seat. Try a similar corner for photos with the guest of honor, keeping the chair easy to reach.
spooky candy skewers
Is that a little set of teeth at the top? These candy skewers really do have a bit of everything, haha!
There are colorful rings, an eyeball, a bat and a white ghost near the bottom.
For a less spooky version, you could stick to ghosts and colorful rings.
little pumpkin diaper cake
This is such a cute way to bring the baby theme into your pumpkin decorations. Rows of white diapers sit beneath an oversized orange-and-white pumpkin topper.
The “little pumpkin” detail and big front bow are my favorite parts. Orange leaves and small berry decorations fill the spaces around the tiers.

books for baby
Want to include a book request with your invitations? This little card keeps it on theme with bats and a smiling pumpkin in a witch hat.
It asks guests to bring a favorite book instead of a card and write a short message inside. You could use the same pumpkin design on a sign for the book table.
tiny ghost chocolates
These little ghost faces are so simple and so cute. Black oval eyes and mouths decorate the silver-colored candy wrappers, with the pointed tops making them look like tiny ghosts.
The coffin-shaped tray adds a spookier touch. I’d choose a plain white dish if the rest of the shower leaned more pastel.
purple and black photo booth
If you are looking for a photo booth with lots of Halloween details, then this one is for you. There’s a black curtain, purple trim and an orange jack-o’-lantern right at the top.
I love the ghost on the separate photo frame. For a shower version, add the guest of honor’s name to your own booth sign.
decorate-your-own cookies
The little candy eyes are my favorite part of this cookie station. Plain ghost, pumpkin and bat shapes sit beside colorful icing bags and bowls of sprinkles.
Set out a few decorated examples like the ones on the spiderweb plate. Guests could follow those or come up with their own silly faces.
book-page ghost garland
Last but definitely not least, we have this adorable ghost garland. I love the printed text showing through the ghost shapes, with big black eyes on each one.
Try a similar garland above your gift table using unwanted book pages or text-printed craft paper. The little lights behind this one are a pretty finishing touch.
