A fall classic that never fails! Baby pumpkins (perfect centerpieces or favors for your guests), “Little Pumpkin is on the Way” signs, and tables decorated with seasonal floral arrangements.

Add a dash of forest magic for the nature-loving mama-to-be. Adorable foxes, gentle deer, and wide-eyed owls nestled into your decor — perfect for creating cozy, woodland wonder that’ll have your guests oohing and ahhing from the moment they arrive.
4) “Baby, It’s (almost) Cold Outside”
For the late fall showers, take cozy to the extreme with hot cocoa, scented candles, decorative pillows and knit blankets! Deep burgundy, forest green, rustic brown, and gold pillows to make this theme feel like a warm hug.
Décor That Brings the Fall Feels
