Twin Baby Shower Invitations: Celebrating Twins at a Baby Shower
When planning for a baby shower, there’s already an understanding that at least part of the motivation behind the celebration is to take at least some of the burden off the birth of their first child. So what happens when the parents who you’re throwing the shower for are having twins?
Hosting a twin baby shower doesn’t really require any more work than when hosting the run of the mill baby shower. The Twin baby shower ideas don’t really require any more work, simply the ability to adapt the shower to the twin theme as opposed to the old reliable.
The first step is always choosing the theme. There are many ideas for the twin baby shower, and just as many matching twin baby shower invitations. Twin baby shower invitations can draw attention to the twins by using special pictures, or it can draw almost none with a simple sentence. How much emphasis you want to put on the event is completely up to you.
With every other baby shower out there, there are special favors that can be used to separate your shower from the rest of the herd. The favors should be something that isn’t an oddity if there are two of them, but beyond that, there’s no limit. One cute idea I’ve seen mentioned before would be two jawbreakers, lemon drops, or other circular candy wrapped into green cellophane and call it “two peas in a pod” There are many variations on this idea which will work just as well.
Suggested gifts for the shower should fit into the general theme of the twins celebration, and should of course come from where the parents to be have registered, but there are some gifts that could be considered unique for a twins shower.
Gifts that any baby can use include diapers, onesies, bibs, pacifiers, and toys, of course baby toys. One gift that almost any parent of twins would like to have, which can a bit pricey simply because of the rarity of the need; the stroller with two seats. There can also be swings that can seat two babies, and two high chairs or bouncy chairs will be a welcome addition to any home. Double of any gift will be welcomed with open arms.
As far as who will be invited to this celebration; while traditionally showers have been women only, more men have been coming to baby showers over the last few years. Having guests bring a “date” or just a friend in order to stay in the swing of the twins theme could be an inventive addition.
The final say on anything baby shower related will always be completely up to the host who’s throwing the party, but the guests who have been invited as well as the guests of honor must be able to enjoy themselves. There shouldn’t be anyone who is looking to leave ten minutes after they arrive. The baby shower is not an event that should ever be more work than fun.
