Looking for little boo baby shower ideas that are more sweet than spooky? Think ghost cookies with pink bows, tiny pumpkin place cards and balloons with friendly ghosts tucked between them.
There’s plenty to choose from here, whether you love pastels or want a little more black and orange.
You can keep it simple or go all out. Pick a few details for your dessert table or start with a big balloon backdrop.
Sweet and Spooky Baby Shower Ideas
pink balloons and black bats
We’re starting off strong with this pink backdrop and its black, white and pink balloons. I love the little bats scattered across the arch.
The giant web beside it brings in a much spookier detail!
If you want to follow this look, add a few matching pumpkins at the bottom. Don’t forget the little cauldron with pink balloons spilling out.
pastel ghost cake
How adorable is this cake? The white ghosts have tiny pink cheeks, plus there are little pumpkins in pink, orange and purple between the tiers.
Ask your baker for a pale pink design with white webs and black bats if you love this combination. Those small flowers and stars are worth keeping too.
pumpkins on a round tray
Don’t want to go all out with your table decorations? No problem!
This white ghost, checked pumpkin and orange pumpkin candle make a cute little group on a handled tray.

I’d choose a flameless candle for a similar arrangement, especially with leafy sprigs tucked around the pumpkins.
tiny ghost shapes
These little pale ghost shapes are so cute with their uneven tails. Some have dark facial details while others are still plain on the lined tray.
For a similar dessert detail, ask your baker about edible ghost decorations to place on cupcakes. Keep the faces simple like the ones here.
ghost pops with pumpkins
Are those tiny trick-or-treat buckets? I am obsessed!
These white ghost pops have little orange jack-o’-lanterns tucked beside them, plus round black mouths that make them look surprised.
The tiny arms are such a good detail. I’d keep those if you’re using this photo as inspiration for your dessert order.
a bright pink backdrop
I love the orange, black and pink letters in “BOO.” There’s plenty of color around them too, with a pink background, orange pumpkins and a big friendly ghost holding a baby bottle.
Try using those three lettering colors for the rest of your dessert table.
blue balloons and waving ghosts
This is another balloon backdrop, but it’s a little different from the pink one above. The pale blue clusters mix with black, white and striped balloons around a white sign.
Those big ghosts on either side are so cute. Save this one if you want a blue little boo baby shower with a few bold black details.
blue and white pumpkins
I love this pumpkin table arrangement with the blue-gray runner. The big pale blue pumpkin looks so pretty beside the smaller white and orange ones.

Tiny white flowers, leafy stems and a pinecone fill the spaces between them. You don’t have to put ghosts on every table to keep the fall theme going.
ghost candy holders
How cute are these little favors? The smiling ghosts have pink cheeks and clear pockets showing the wrapped candy inside.
One wears a blue bow while the other has a pink one.
Choose bows that match your party colors if you want a similar favor at each place setting.
baby blocks and blue flowers
These oversized BABY blocks are such a fun addition to the entrance. I especially love the black bats scattered across them and the blue flowers sitting in white pumpkin-shaped containers.
The blue, black and white balloons continue behind the blocks. You could borrow just the flower-and-pumpkin pairing for a smaller display.
sign the pumpkin
Skip the usual guest book and let everyone sign a white pumpkin instead. This one is covered in handwritten wishes beside a black sign with a skull and web details.

It’s such a sweet way to bring the theme into an activity. For your own version, leave a few suitable pens beside the sign.
pink candy and pumpkin faces
Don’t want to stick with orange jack-o’-lanterns? No problem there!
These clear candy jars have black pumpkin faces with different shades of pink showing through.
I love the little pink-and-white ghost at the front. Try grouping your jars at different heights like this rather than lining them all up.
personalized mini pumpkins
How pretty is the flowing brown lettering on these mini white pumpkins? Each one has a name written across it, turning a little fall decoration into a place-card idea.
Set one at each seat for your own shower or group them near the entrance so guests can find their names.
pink and black diaper cake
There is so much to love on this diaper cake, from the glittery black pumpkins to the little smiling ghosts. Wide pink ribbon is paired with narrower black ghost-print ribbon around the tiers.
That matching ghost-print bow near the top is my favorite part. If you want a similar display, keep the decorative spiders and picks separate from anything intended for the baby.
a ghost photo prop
Who wants to be a ghost for a photo? This standing prop has three face openings with long white strands hanging down the front.
The orange pumpkin buckets make it even cuter.

You could set up a similar prop beside your party backdrop for a playful photo spot.
books and gifts sign
This is a sweet little detail for your gift table. Two white ghosts float above the words “Books & Gifts” on a pale pink background, with small hearts and webs around them.
The patterned white frame is pretty on its own. You could use a matching frame for your welcome sign too.
pink thank-you tags
Last but definitely not least, we have this adorable pink thank-you tag. I love the two smiling ghosts with the little gold-colored stars and pumpkins around them.
Add your own names beneath the message, then tie a tag to each favor. That little bow on the smaller ghost is such a sweet finishing detail.
