Define your color palette for your pumpkin themed baby shower by using balloons in different colors.
You could go classic orange, white, and rust, or opt for something a little deeper like the purples, pinks, and mauves in the photo above.

4. Chocolate Covered Pumpkin Strawberries

One of the best things about chocolate covered strawberries for events like baby showers is how easy they are to make in bulk.
