FALL BABY SHOWER

PICKING THE BEST LOCATION FOR YOUR FALL BABY SHOWER
In many locations, the weather and the scenery are at their best in the fall. So long as you have a plan B. in case of rain, why not let your guests enjoy the best that the season has to offer by having your festive baby shower out of doors? If your shower will be a casual affair and is to be held indoors, bring elements of the season indoors with lots of natural decorations.
DECORATIONS FOR A CASUAL FALL BABY SHOWER THEME
Your color scheme should be filled with rich shades of brown, pumpkin orange and rusty red. Line up rows of tables covered in country style tablecloths with runners of colorful leaves. If you need inspiration for designing your decorative shower centerpieces, look to the natural wonders of the season. Depending on the crops raised in your area, sheaves of wheat, shocks of corn or fluffy white bolls of cotton can be used in arrangements filling salt glazed crocks or metal buckets. Fill in the gaps with pumpkins; miniature pumpkins for the tables and larger ones as floor decorations. Whether or not they are carved or plain is entirely up to you.

ACTIVITIES and GAMES FOR YOUR FALL BABY SHOWER
Set up the festivities to resemble a fall festival with unique areas to entertain the children as well as the adults. You could plan a progressive meal of sorts with different booths devoted to each portion of the menu. One booth could dispense the main course of the meal; another could house the punch bowl and other beverages and then have a special booth to showcase the beautifully decorated fall baby shower cake.
FALL BABY SHOWER CAKE IDEAS
A cake in keeping with our fall theme might be decorated with cut outs of fall leaves, round marzipan pumpkins or other traditional motifs of the season. I would avoid floral decorations, other than bronze mums or other flowers that bloom in the fall. For a casual party, you may even want to cook pumpkin or pecan pies rather than a traditional shower cake.
FALL BABY SHOWER INVITATIONS
Fall themed invitations may be the easiest part of hosting the shower! You can make your own casual fall baby shower invitations with some construction paper and a marker. You can make homemade baby shower invitations out of football cutouts, pumpkins or in the shape of large fall leaves. Write your party details on the shapes with a bold marker and your work is done.
