Halloween Baby Shower Cakes & Treats
Now, let’s talk about everyone’s favorite part – the desserts!
Halloween baby showers offer so many fun opportunities to get creative with your treats.
Halloween Baby Shower Cake
Your cake will definitely be the centerpiece of your dessert table, so let’s make it amazing!
What’s more, many bakeries now offer allergen-free options, so all your guests can enjoy the celebration. Make sure to check about this when ordering your cake!
Cookies & Treats
Besides the cake, having a variety of cookies and other bite-sized treats gives your guests options and makes for a gorgeous dessert table display.
Furthermore, having a mix of sweet and savory treats ensures there’s something for everyone.
Consider adding some pumpkin-shaped cheese balls with crackers or “mummy” wrapped breadsticks with dipping sauce.
Cake Pops
Cake pops are not only delicious but they’re also super convenient for guests to grab and enjoy without needing plates or forks.
Obviously, these are just ideas to get you started! Feel free to mix and match or come up with your own unique twist.
The best part about cake pops is how customizable they are!
Custom Acrylic Signs: The 2025 Must-Have
One of the biggest trends for baby showers in 2025 is custom acrylic signage.
They’re modern, reusable, and make for gorgeous keepsakes after the shower!
Here are some ideas for incorporating acrylic signs into your Halloween baby shower:
- Welcome Sign: “Welcome to [Your Name]’s Little Pumpkin Shower” with cute Halloween graphics.
- Food Table Signs: Labels for your food and dessert tables with cute sayings like “Treats for Mummy and Baby” or “Fuel for Little Ghouls.”
Without a doubt, these signs add a touch of elegance to your Halloween theme and can be treasured afterward. Many parents are now displaying these signs in their nurseries after the shower!
Fun and Games: Halloween Baby Shower Activities
Naturally, you’ll want to keep your guests entertained! Games and activities make the shower interactive and help guests who might not know each other break the ice.
Here are some Halloween-inspired games that are super popular for 2025 baby showers:
Guess the Baby Food
This classic game gets a Halloween twist! Disguise different baby foods in small black bowls labeled with spooky numbers. Guests have to taste and guess what each flavor is.
The person with the most correct guesses wins a prize!
Mummy Wrap Race
Divide guests into teams and provide rolls of toilet paper. One person from each team is the “pregnant mummy” who needs to be wrapped in toilet paper, leaving a hole for the baby bump.
The team that creates the best mummy the fastest wins!
Baby Boo Bingo
Create bingo cards with baby gifts instead of numbers. As you open presents, guests mark off the items on their cards. First person to get five in a row yells “Baby Boo!” and wins a prize.
Pumpkin Baby Bump Measuring
Have guests cut a piece of string to the length they think will perfectly wrap around your baby bump. The person with the closest guess wins!
Halloween Baby Name Game
Ask guests to come up with baby names using only Halloween-themed words. The most creative names win prizes!
In addition to these games, consider setting up a onesie decorating station where guests can create Halloween-themed baby clothes. This doubles as an activity and a practical gift for you!
