Perhaps the trees aren\u2019t covered in beautiful fiery shades of red, orange, and yellow quite yet. However, September is still the perfect time for a baby shower decorated with a color scheme inspired by fall leaves. You can buy fake fall leaves in the form of garlands and other decor that will make your party setting especially beautiful and festive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Add a sweet activity with an apple-picking baby shower<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If you live in the Northern Hemisphere in a location where apples grow, September is one of the prime months for apple picking, and we can think of few activities more quintessentially autumn than that! Web Baby Shower<\/a> suggests some adorable apple-themed decor: \u201cA cute checkerboard tablecloth, some pumpkins, and a basket of apples will set the scene nicely.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Be sure to prepare some apple-based baked goods and other snacks, too, to really stick with the theme! Plus, if you\u2019d like an apple orchard all to yourself and your baby shower guests for the day, consider renting one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. Serve scrumptious pumpkin spice-flavored food and drinks<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If the mom-to-be is an animal lover, a baby shower inspired by the creatures of the forest (including foxes, squirrels, raccoons, and deer) is a wonderful and creative September baby shower idea. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Use decor like pinecones, cartoon animals, rustic garlands and banners (burlap would be a great material for this), and forest-themed cake toppers. You can even make a cake and decorate it like a fox. Here are instructions for doing so<\/a> from A Couple Cooks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
