Planning a Twin Baby Shower

Twin baby showers are so appreciated by moms who are expecting twins. Read our guide to help you plan the perfect baby shower for twins.

Since having twins can generate a lot more expenses for the mother and father to be, having a twin baby shower given by friends and family is a wonderful way to help ease the burden, celebrate the expected arrival and take some of the worry off of the mother! Did we mention they can be a lot of fun too?

You'll want to choose a theme for your shower. One very popular theme for a twin baby shower is "Peas in a Pod". Another is the Noah's ark theme as the animals march in two by two! There are many decorations and pary favors available for both of these themes from green balloons to stuffed Noah's ark animals.

You'll want to be sure after deciding on the theme that you get matching twin baby shower invitations. You can also speak with the mom-to-be to see if she's decided on a theme for the twin nursery. This is turn can be incorporated into the baby shower with twins baby gifts also going along with the chosen theme. Gifts can also double as decorations for the shower.

Many online stores carry bedding and linens as well that are theme based. Items such as clocks, pacifiers, lamps, stationary, baby clothing, blankets and layettes can all revolve around a theme as well.

It's a great idea to have guests at your baby shower for twins fill out envelopes with their mailing addresses so that the new mom has one less thing to do and worry about. If you're holding a gift drawing or door prize you can use these envelopes to do the draw.

It is always helpful to include in the twin baby shower invitations a list of ideas, a registry, and the preferred theme for the twin baby nursery. Twin baby gifts ideas should start with diapers - no matter what! Indicate whether the expectant mom is planning on using to use disposables or not, and if there is a preferred brand. Twin babies go through up to 10 diapers a day each! You can suggest to guests that they buy different sizes starting with the smallest as many twins are born slightly premature and smaller in size.

Find out if the new mom is planning to breastfeed or bottlefeed her twins and purchase a twin nursing pillow or extra bottles and nipples. You can also chip in together to buy the larger ticket items such as cribs for twins or a twin stroller to create a group gift from several different people.

You can't go wrong in planning a twin baby shower as every little bit really helps out the family financially, especially for those items that must be purchased twice!
