An October baby shower can be fall themed, Halloween themed, or you could use a pumpkin baby shower theme or an autumn leaves theme that isn’t too cutesy. You can use rustic fall colors like orange and brown, or go spooky with black and orange for a Halloween party. There are also good October baby shower themes for boys, girls, or gender neutral if you don’t know the baby’s sex yet. These are some fall themed baby shower ideas that I’ve rounded up for themes to throw a memorable baby shower in October.
