Fall decorations/pumpkins

My sister is hosting my shower at the end of August and we had the idea for a "little pumpkin" shower.  Will this be too early for fall decorations?

    IMO yes.  In August I am still going to the pool, experiencing upper 90's, and dying from the humidity.

    Just my opinion, but I think it would be too early. In August, I'm still in summer mode, and seeing fall decor would depress me lol.

    I would wait at least until September.  Then you could get away with it...even though it is still a bit early for me.

    I guess i'm in the minority here but I think it would be fine. You could even incorporate some of your fall decorations as prizes for your guests. I think it's a cute idea!

    Okay I LOVE that idea. I think it's really cute,

    However, I think it depends on where you live. I live in Memphis and in August, it's still very much summer here. I mean, temperatures are still in the 80s and 90s. So I think it would feel a bit out of place. But if you lived somewhere where it started cooling down in August, it could be okay. Is there any way the shower could be in September? B/c like I said, I think it's a really cute idea.

    I went to a summer wedding shower once that had all fall decorations- i think because it was going to be a fall wedding- and it struck me as odd, but not that big a deal. I think that will be the reaction of your guests. They will be surprised, but not offended.

    IMO, yes.

    But it depends on where you live. My friend lives in Nova Scotia and that would be fine for her. 

    I live in SC and no way does that make even the slightest bit of sense for anyone here. 

    Can you push it back to say, mid-Sept? (I don't remember if you have a ticker)
