Costume themed baby shower

amazinangie · June 2016

Any ladies due early November such as myself thinking about a costume party baby shower? I love dressing up & finding great deals on costumes, decprations, candy, food & snacks for Halloween! It won't be hard to find anything because so much is put out for Halloween!

I think this could be really fun if it was a coed shower but I can't picture all the ladies in my family and H's family dressing up for a shower if it was just us girls.

What does the host who's throwing the party think about the costume theme?

I would absolutely love something like that! Halloween is my favorite. I had never even considered a themed shower, at least not one quite like that. I second @MrsMaryK2016, what does the host think of this idea? Or have you not brought it up with them yet?

Totally off topic, but being due in mid-November, I'm looking forward to cheap post-Halloween candy.

I'm sure plenty of guests would enjoy it, but elderly guests (or boring ones like me that don't go out for Halloween) may not have a costume and it'll be more of a hassle. So I'd say it depends on your crowd.

This. It might work for your group but overall I think it probably falls under the category of "trying too hard". And it's mostly up to your host. I love Halloween too but it's hard to make time for these kinds of things so if I felt like I also had to dress a certain way, I might be more likely to decline and send a gift. It seems a little out of place at a baby shower tbh- especially if people mostly have slutty mermaid or similar costumes on hand.

Baby showers already have a theme- babies. Possibly blue or pink. Maybe jungle animals or something.

This wouldn't be my thing and I probably wouldn't go if I was invited to one. However, you're the guest of honor and if your host supports it and you think your guests would participate than I think you should go for it!

I love the idea of a Halloween themed baby shower! Halloween is like my Christmas... But personally I think dressing up is taking it to far for a baby shower.

For me if your Shower is going to be Halloween weekend go for it. If it's going to be September or early October I would do something else.

I know this isn't what you're asking but I feel like I'd want to have my shower a little earlier than Halloween, probably in September or at least early October. It would just be nice to have all the gifts organized a little earlier. That way you still have time to get what you still need after.

I know I'm echoing a few posts here, but I would also choose not to attend a costume required baby shower. If the crowd doesn't include the lackluster dress-up ladies like myself, then go all in. After all, it is your shower.
