Get ready for some spine-tingling fun with these creative Halloween baby shower games. First up, we have Pin the Pacifier on the Pumpkin. This creepy twist on the classic Pin the Tail on the Donkey game will have everyone in the Halloween spirit.

This game is a great way to get everyone involved and keep the excitement throughout the baby shower. For a simple yet engaging activity, set up a Witch Hat Ring Toss. Using glow-in-the-dark rings, guests can try their hand at tossing them onto witch hats. And of course, we can't forget about Halloween Charades. Write down Halloween-themed phrases or items related to babies, and let guests act them out. Laughter is guaranteed with this game, and it's a great way to keep the party going.

Getting the right atmosphere is key to a successful baby shower, especially a Halloween-themed one where you want to strike the perfect balance between spooky and sweet. Start by sticking to classic Halloween colors like black, orange, purple, and green, and add in some pastels if you want to soften the look a bit. This helps make everything look nice and coordinated. In terms of decorations, think outside the box and incorporate fun and festive elements. Balloons are always a favorite at baby showers, and for a spooky twist, opt for fun shapes like pumpkins, ghosts, and bats, or stick to a mix of orange, black, and white balloons to scatter around the party space.

Table centerpieces are another great way to add some Halloween flair. Mini pumpkins, candles, and Halloween baby toys make adorable and unique centerpieces. You could even go all out and carve the baby's name into a large pumpkin to create a stunning showstopper. No party is complete without festive banners and signs, and a Halloween baby shower is no exception. Hang banners that say Welcome Little Pumpkin or Spooky Baby Shower to add a special touch to your decorations. To guide guests around, use signs with cute ghost or witch baby graphics. Consider setting up a fun and unique photo booth area with props like witch hats, vampire teeth, and baby bottles for your guests to use. You can also use a backdrop with a haunted house or pumpkin patch to make your photos even more festive and memorable.

The food and drinks at your shower can bring the theme to life, making it an unforgettable event for the mom-to-be and the guests. To start off the menu, consider serving pumpkin deviled eggs. This twist on a classic appetizer is sure to be a hit with your guests. You can dye the yolk filling orange and add a little green onion for the pumpkin stem. For a main dish, mummy hot dogs are a must. These ghoulishly good hot dogs are easy to make and are always a crowd-pleaser. Simply wrap hot dogs in strips of dough to look like mummies and serve with a side of ketchup "blood."  For a healthy and spooky option, consider making a monster veggie platter. Arrange different vegetables to look like a monster face, using olives for eyes and carrot sticks for teeth.

Of course, no Halloween baby shower is complete without creepy drinks. A witch's brew punch is the perfect choice for a spooky and refreshing beverage. Mix green juice or soda with gummy worms or eyeball candies for a creepy effect. You can serve a variety of alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages. Think apple cider, pumpkin spice lattes, or even a Halloween-themed mocktail or cocktail. Your guests will enjoy sipping on this eerie concoction. For dessert, ghost cupcakes, cake, or cookies are a must-have. These adorable treats are easy to make and can be topped with white frosting and little ghost faces made from chocolate chips or fondant. They will for sure bring some whimsy to your party.
