Plan a Gender Neutral Fall Baby Shower with a Little Pumpkin Theme

Expecting a darling addition to the family this fall? But want to save the surprise of the baby’s gender till birth? Then, this post is for you. Why not host a Little Pumpkin-themed baby shower to share the joyful news in keeping with the season, but still keeping the secret! 

For inspiration, see how you can dress up the tablescapes in gorgeous autumn colors and textures, and lay out a food buffet and sweets table inspired by the abundance of harvest time. While tucking in pumpkin decor accents here and there, too. All right, we’re off to the pumpkin patch! (*this post contains affiliate links)

Decor, Food & Favor Ideas for a Little Pumpkin Baby Shower

The season may set the basic palette for this baby shower, but see how you can also add pops of turquoise and gleaming metallics. Plus, combine fall dishes and fruits with sweet baby shower treats.

Make sure guests mark their calendars early by sending out adorable Little Pumpkin baby shower invitations (1 – from Purple Trail). Then, prepare a warm welcome to the occasion with a pumpkin-themed baby shower banner (2 – available on Amazon).

Now, for the table settings. Since most (if not all) of the shower guests will be adults, you can go for a fall tablescape look that’s elegant yet easy (3 – styled by Bellenza). Go for table linens in rich, earthy tones, foliage centerpieces, touches of copper, glowing candles—and of course, pumpkin decorations galore, both faux and real!

Then, lay out a scrumptious food buffet (4 – Nina on the Moon) serving finger foods, a fresh veggies-and-dip platter, and colorful fruit skewers in a pumpkin centerpiece. For the "little pumpkin" treats, have a dessert and sweets table (5 – Get Creative Juice) all decked out in the shower’s color scheme with elements of wood, burlap, hay, and galvanized metal, plus a fabric-scrap banner, and orange paper lanterns overhead. And for the star of the sweets table, a Little Pumpkin fall baby shower cake (7 – Diaper Cakes by Ruby).
