An autumn baby shower is a fabulous time for friends and family to gather.

Baskets and crates make great decorations because they can hold everything from cards and baby gifts to tableware and snacks such as cider doughnuts and pumpkin bars.

Football Baby Shower Invitation
Fall brings with it changing leaves, visits to apple orchards and pumpkin patches — and the anticipation of a favorite football team bringing home the win. If your guest of honor can’t take themselves away from the big game over the weekend, bring the game to them with a football-themed fall baby shower, which is excellent for co-ed baby showers as well! Just host in a location with a visible TV (or multiple for extra host points), serve up a few game day snacks and drinks with some essential party supplies, and watch as the crowds cheer for everything from touchdowns witnessed on TV to football onesies opened at halftime (oops, we mean gift time). Send fans home with some party favors so they can remember all the fun they had. These invitations will ensure you have no trouble luring football fans over once they realize the party can revolve around game time as well.
