A Halloween baby shower is the perfect way to celebrate a fall baby on the way! Just because its Halloween-themed doesn't mean this shower has to be spooky! We added a serious dose of cuteness to our Lil Boo Baby Shower by bringing in plenty of darling details, but perhaps our most favorite detail was our DIY tulle ghost garland! These sweet ghosts added a playful and gender neutral Halloween feature to our buffet table!
