Little Pumpkin Baby Shower - Pass Me Some Tasty

Here's everything you need for a sweet Fall-themed 'little pumpkin' baby shower! This post is filled with fun ideas for fall-themed party food, baby shower game ideas, and decor inspiration to celebrate the arrival of the newest little pumpkin in your life!

I'm going to be an Aunt again!!!

It's been almost 6 years since there's been a new baby in the family so we're all a little excited over here. Excited because babies are obviously exciting and awesome. And excited because as an Aunt I get to enjoy all the baby cuddles and cuteness BUT without the sleepless nights and diapers. My sister and brother-in-law get to enjoy that part (LOL). Don't worry sis you'll do great and the brain fog from sleep deprivation combined with the emotional rollercoaster from postnatal hormones eventually dissipates. Many have gone before you and survived (some barely).

Did I mention you won't get much sleep in the beginning?

While my sister and brother-in-law still have their wits about them a baby shower was definitely in order. My sister looooves Halloween so it was only suitable that we throw a sweet Autumn/Halloween/Pumpkin themed baby shower. I don't recommend spooky baby showers. Spooking the mama-to-be could bring on early labor and change the whole dynamic of the party. Keep it sweet.

Naturally we turned to Pinterest for the Pinterest party perfect inspo and themes. Duh. Who else gets sucked into the black hole of Pinterest perfect backyards, Pinterest perfect vacation destinations, the Pinterest perfect wardrobe, Pinterest perfect hairstyles (which I will never have), and food? Don't forget the food. That's where I hang out a lot. You can find me here (waves and smiles).

So with a little help from many fellow bloggers and online creatives who are not only creative geniuses but have some serious skillz when it comes to decorating, creating themed food, and crafting baby shower games that can appease a co-ed guest list, the shower was fun and honored my sister and bro-in-law and their little pumpkin on the way.

7 Tasty Snack Ideas for a Fall-Themed Baby Shower

Whether you are hosting a baby shower, a friendly (not spooky) Halloween party or just a fun fall-time gathering where you don't necessarily want to feed the party-goers a full 5-course meal but want to satisfy your guests' snack cravings with some crazy tasty food here are my recommendations and what I served during the party. Check it out!

Cheese & Pretzel Broomsticks

Ummm...so HOW cute are these little broomsticks?! A pretzel stick, some string cheese, and a chive to tie it off. So basic but so genious and fun to eat. You can find the directions over at the blog One Little Project At A Time.

Pumpkin-themed deviled eggs

Deviled eggs made to look like little pumpkins are obviously perfect for a fall-themed party. Find the deets on The Food Blog. Note: I subbed Cholula for the Sriracha just to turn down the heat a little.

Jack O'Lantern Veggie Plate

Parties usually have some kind of veggie tray so why not turn it into a jack o'lantern?! Thanks to Raising Jack with Celiac for the simple and genius idea! I also served the veggies with a side of this creamy Herb and Buttermilk Ranch Dip.

The BEST Gluten-Free Pumpkin Cupcakes

Tis the season for pumpkin and these Pumpkin Cupcakes are HEAVENLY! They were definitely the hit of the baby shower and party guests were shocked when they found out they were gluten-free because they are just so SO delicious. These dreamy cupcakes are topped with a swirl of cinnamon cream cheese frosting and then lightly dusted with cinnamon on top. A sprinkling of chopped pecans or walnuts would be delicious on top of the frosting as well but I decided against it just in case we had anyone with nut allergies attending. I also tripled the recipe for our large group.

Salted Caramel Cream Cheese Apple Dip

Here's an easy riff on the classic caramel-covered apple. Slice up your apples and serve with cream cheese topped with salted caramel. It's ridiculously easy, a super tasty combo, and a lot more manageable to eat than a whole caramel-covered apple. You can find my recipe for salted caramel located in the recipe card for these Salted Caramel Brownie Ice Cream Parfaits (which are also amazing btw). 🙂

Smoked Salmon Dip

You can't have a party without chips and dip! Serve an assortment of chips and crackers with this Smoked Salmon Dip with Dill & Capers. The dip is a huge crowd pleaser so be sure to double the recipe if you have a big guest list.

Apple Cider Punch

Lastly, let's talk party punch. I'm not usually a big fan of punch but this Apple Cider Punch from Better Homes & Gardens was a winner. It's a simple combo of 6 cups apple cider, 2 cups orange juice, ½ cup lemon juice, and 1 (750 milliliters) bottle of sparkling white grape juice. We had several children attending our party but if you are hosting an all adult party switching out the sparkling grape juice with some chilled champagne would be amazing too!

Fall-Themed Baby Shower Games

Alright, let's talk baby shower games and activities. This is definitely not an area I specialize in so we handed this off to one of my sister's close friends who knocked it out of the park with some awesome resources she found on Etsy and Amazon.

SweetBabyShower shop on Etsy creates printable custom party kits and shower games which not only provide some fun entertainment but are also creatively themed to match the style of your party.

Here are the games we played:

Baby Bingo
Baby Name Race
Mommy or Daddy?
Don't Say Baby

A table was also set up for a baby headband making station. Each guest picked from a variety of ribbons, bows, and flowers along with elastic bands to create a sweet little custom headband for my niece. It was SO easy to set-up since all of the components for the headbands were included. The only thing you need to have on hand is a hot glue gun and a table to lay everything out.

Little Pumpkin Baby Shower Decor

Then finish off your party decor with an assortment of painted pumpkins. My sister painted mini pumpkins in an assortment of pinks, gold, and silver while also scattering some naturally orange and white mini pumpkins throughout. Here are the instructions for the painted pumpkins from Oh Happy Day (which btw is an incredibly cute website for party planning and DIY inspo). Be sure to also add some pumpkins at your front door as a sweet way to welcome guests as they arrive along with this super cute "Hey There Pumpkin" doormat.

A pennant bunting with the words "Welcome Little Pumpkin" (see picture near the top of this post) was hung across our fireplace mantle. I wasn't able to track down the exact bunting that we used for this but these burlap flags would be just as cute with white lettering painted on them. And this fall-themed felt ball garland would also be super cute to decorate with!

Lastly, if you are on the hunt for a "Sweet Baby" rustic wood sign like the one pictured below, your local Craft Warehouse has all of the supplies to create this quick DIY project. If DIY is not your thing, Morgan over at PaintMePeachy on Etsy, could create a custom rustic wood sign for you as well!

And that's it! I hope you found some valuable fall-themed baby shower and party ideas from this post! As for myself, I'm counting down the days until I meet my sweet little baby niece. Eek!

Menu for children's birthday from 2 to 10 years old - recipes with photos On the eve of this wonderful holiday, every mother puzzles over how to make this day truly unforgettable for a child.

Invite his friends to visit and arrange a small home party with fun entertainment. And most importantly - come up with how to surprise little fidgets at the festive table!

A festive table can be called an obligatory and invariable attribute of a birthday. However, the choice of menu will depend on a variety of parameters and conditions.

In the case of a children's banquet, important factors such as the age of the children, taste preferences, and requirements for healthy and safe food must be taken into account.

Contents:

Children's birthday menu for 2-3 years old

At this age, the child still has a lot of culinary restrictions. First of all, the restrictions apply to preservatives, food allergens, hot spices, bitter, sour and salty foods, high sugar content, hard to digest, fatty foods.

Remember that children at this age are not very fond of experimenting with food. The combination of more than two or three ingredients mixed in one dish can be alarming.

So, I present to your attention a menu option for a children's birthday party for 2-3 year olds

Snacks

Snacks on the children's table should be as bright and varied as possible in their content. But remember that for this age group it is important not to use allergenic vegetables and fruits.

Ladybug Sandwiches

Bunch of lettuce
Cherry tomatoes - 500 gr.
Olives - 1 jar

Place a leaf of lettuce on each cookie.
Cut the cherry tomato in half, cut into quarters on one side to create the appearance of slightly open ladybug wings.
Cut out olive heads.
Eyes and flecks on the wings can be made with sour cream and a toothpick.

Charming ladybugs will delight little guests with their taste and beauty!

Snack "Mushrooms on skewers"

For preparation you will need:

Cherry tomatoes - 10 pcs.
Quail eggs - 10 pcs.
Hard cheese - 100 gr.

Cut the cherry tomatoes into 2 parts, remove the juice and part of the pulp. So that the tomato can be put on the egg like a hat.
String on a skewer in the form of a mushroom. Decorate with a sprig of parsley.

Charming mushrooms are not only beautiful, but also very tasty! This idea is sure to please the kids!

Fruit and vegetable cuts are also popular on the children's holiday table. And beautifully served vegetables and fruits will never go unnoticed.

Salads for the festive table

Young children are not very fond of experimenting with unknown dishes. But if you give the salad an interesting and unusual design, then there will certainly be interest. Therefore, before you start cooking, think about how you will arrange it.
