Baby Shower Ideas.. So many of them!

So here I am..   So full of AWESOME ideas and have no idea which one to use.  :x


I was super set on having a Winter Wonderland themed shower because i love the super feminine pretty Holiday stuff..  and had a lot of awesome ideas.  
Why I'm doubting this:   Im doubting having this shower because i would want to have it in December.    December 3rd to be exact.     My Due date is December 18th, and I will have my repeat C section done atleast a week in advance.   If im put on bedrest again, any planning would be out the window.


Some ladies in the December Baby group i belong to on a parenting forum are having Halloween themed showers.   AWESOME, right?!   I freaking LOVE Halloween..  Its an awesome holiday with awesome decorations and its also my Birthday.  WOOO!  love it! Also, a Halloween theme would be super fun and easy to be co-ed.   have the kids wear costumes and do an apple bob, pin the bone on the skeleton..  have all kinds of crazy food and halloween candy and have so much more to do that would work for the whole family.
Why I'm doubting this:  My girls' birthdays are in October..   October 12th and 28th to be exact.   I was planning their party for the 22nd of October but i could move it up to the beginning of October to also do a Halloween themed shower at the end of the month on the 30th.   The only issue with this is that is a LOT of stress in one month..  But I would already have my Halloween decorations bought and out for display..   Im just worried two events for our family in one month would pretty much have people trying to decide if they would rather go to the girls' party or the shower and i would rather them not feel obligated for both but at the same time, i would want everyone to celebrate both occasions.

Im also considering a Thanksgiving themed party..   it'll be right smack dab in between the two other holidays and be thrown before actual Thanksgiving.    There are lots of cute ideas but its just a weird..  theme.  lol   Like I have food ideas and everything but ive never even heard of a Thanksgiving shower, but like a website i looked at said, what would be better than giving thanks for your family including the bundle of joy on the way?    right?!
Why Im doubting this:  Because its well..  THANKSGIVING themed.  i LOVE thanksgiving and all the food but I would hate to do Thanksgiving type food..  turkey, rolls, pies etc and have everyone get burnt out on it before Thanksgiving comes.  This is honestly the ONLY reason why I'm doubting doing this.    Also, the room i would be renting for the party here at my complex doesnt have a full kitchen, they have plug ins for a microwave (which we dont even own) and a sink in their 'kitchenette'  no fridge, not anything really so keeping hot foods hot til the last minute and cold food cold would be a pain in the ass unless we brought it all from the apartment last minute which is do-able but will be time consuming.

So...    as you can see, I am TORN.   Im leaning more twards the Thanksgiving themed shower just because the time of year it falls and because its..  rare.   But i need opinions.
Im actually going to try and add a Poll, so if you read this PLEASE VOTE which one YOU would do based on everything i've put down.    :)
