Baby showers celebrate a new little pumpkin's arrival so I suggest you don't want it to be ghastly. Make it fun and happy.
Here are some tips for planning a terrific Halloween Baby Shower:

First, you must pick the date, place, and start-end times for having the shower. Consult with your Mummy To Be or a family member to pick what will work best.

Next, you need Invitations. The easiest way is to buy pre-printed Halloween party invitations. If you want to make your invitations, a silhouette of a pumpkin, black cat, or witch is an easy cut-out to use for Halloween invitations. 

For Decorations, decorate with Halloween things. Spiders, spider webs, pumpkins, jack-o-lanterns, skeletons, ghosts, and black cats are readily available online. There are lots of free halloween decoration ideas on the internet.

To add a baby twist to decorations how about skeletons with diapers on them? Or maybe jack-o-lanterns cut out with baby themes, ghosts with baby rattles, cats with pacifiers. and maybe some baby sized versions?

A pumpkin hollowed out with flowers, rattles, and other baby items arranged in it makes an excellent table centerpiece. A Halloween themed Diaper Cake is also a great decorating idea.

For Food, you can serve any kind of food but it is a good idea to pick foods that go with the time of day for your shower. To give a Halloween theme to your food consider a “witch’s brew” punch, shaped cookies, or pumpkin bread. Pumpkin bread can be sliced and cut with Halloween cookie cutters - could be a nice thank you favor at each plate as well. Put the slice in a plastic bag and tie it off with Halloween ribbon - maybe add a label with the shower information.

The baby shower cake, or cupcakes, can be shaped like a pumpkin or other Halloween item or just have a Halloween theme on it.

For Halloween type Games: Costumes are always a big part of Halloween. One way to tie into a baby shower is to have guests wear their least favorite maternity dress or outfit as a costume. Games could include racing to dress a scarecrow (use a baby doll); Having each guest or a team carve out a pumpkin; play pumpkin bowling with plastic baby bottles as pins; or a Mummy Wrap race.
For Favors, if you give prizes or favors they can be anything Halloween. Keep it simple – like a bag of Halloween cookies or candies.
The idea is to have fun and celebrate the new arrival with a touch of Halloween.
