Invitations
When it comes to planning a Halloween-themed baby shower, there’s one element that sets the tone for the entire event – the invitation. Why is it so important? Well, first impressions matter and your baby shower invitation is no exception. So, let’s explore some spooktacular invites to set the tone for your party.
Haunted Mansion Invitations
Why settle for ordinary pumpkin invitations when you can upgrade to a haunted mansion theme? Featuring a creepy, dark mansion and haunted, gothic text, your guests will know they are in for a spooky celebration. You could also add a small map of the “mansion” inside the invites, indicating where each ghoulish activity will take place.
“A Baby is Brewing” Invitations
To add a cute yet spooky touch, consider incorporating a witch’s cauldron design with the text “A Baby is Brewing” on your invitations. You can choose to make it scarier with a creepy witch brewing a suspicious spell, or opt for a more lighthearted version featuring a cartoon witch, cauldron, and flowers to give it an elegant feel. This design is a perfect blend of adorable and eerie, allowing you to set the tone that suits your baby shower theme.
Mummy-to-Be Invitations
Let everyone know about the “Mummy-to-Be” in a fun way with these special mummy-themed invitations. They’re a playful twist on the classic Halloween mummy idea, and your guests will definitely find them amusing. Plus, you can easily use the “Mummy-to-Be” phrase at the event. The mom-to-be can wear a sash with this saying, or you can have games where you wrap people up in toilet paper, keeping the mummy theme going in a fun way.
