Having Twins

Ideas for a
Baby Shower for Twins

Planning a baby shower for twins? Check out these cute ideas when having a twin baby shower including invitations, themes and decorations, food, twin baby shower games and ideas for twin baby gifts.

The very first thing to decide is: If you are the mother-to-be, do you want someone to organize it for you? Start asking now it will take about 2 months to organize a twin baby shower, well you could cram it in over 4 weeks or so but that will take all the fun out of it don’t you think?

OR…

Are you throwing a surprise baby shower for twins? Ask the family of the mom-to-be for help with the guest list, location, a date and time that suits.


Whichever option you decide on – get prepped by taking a look at our Twin Baby Shower Checklist  


A twin baby shower is usually held a few months before the birth of the twins, and is often the last event held before the big twin birth announcement. 

Choosing a Baby Shower Theme

 

 

There are a range of themes which are great for a twin baby shower, here are a few of my favorites:

Pea Pod Twins Theme

 

 

 

Why not host a twins baby shower or birthday party with this adorable “Two Peas in a Pod” party theme. 

 

Color coordinate with green and white, decorating cupcakes with two peas in a pod with fondant using little balls of green candy and icing.

 

Theme includes custom bunting banner that puts the guests of honor front and center, and then why not go and style your buffet table with Two Peas in a Pod favor boxes and treat containers. 

 

Finally, complete the tables with Two Peas in a Pod centerpiece and make sure everyone is ready to party with twin photo booth props!

 

 

 

Find a huge variety of things for a pea pod twins baby shower with several packs for small to large parties.

Cute Animals

 

There are loads of super cute 

animal themes you can use but my favorite is the family of elephants.

If it’s a boy / girl twin baby shower, then why not use both blue and pink themed decorations and mix and match.

Boys Girls

Expanding on the Elephant theme – create favor boxes with peanuts in, or look at the numerous other ideas which are so adorable.. 

Sugar and Spice

How about a Sugar and Spice Theme?

You could serve spiced tea and spiced apple cider with sweet treats and gingerbread men. 

For a center piece you could have a lovely big bowl or platter of potpourri with a spicy fragrance and another bowl of something sweet, sugar and spice.

 

Color coordinate with pink and brown for the decorations, another center piece idea is a diaper cake with pink and brown trimmings.

The Perfect Pear

 

 

 

 
Why not opt for a charming baby shower theme – Pears (Pairs) and get some elegant baby shower favors to go with that.

 

 

You could have a bowl of creatively placed pears as a center piece. All other decorations like balloons are in pears, oops I mean pairs…

Baby Shower for Twins Food Ideas

 

Once you have chosen a twin baby shower theme you can now think about your menu. Besides creatively decorating cupcakes and even the baby shower cake with the theme in mind, make foods that you can pair up of have two main ingredients. Here is what I have come up with:

Double of Everything

Food in Pairs or Two by Two

Your food choices can also be displayed in pairs, two smaller bowls or platters that match. Mini cupcakes paired up on a plate, two different cheeses and crackers even a candy bowl with two different types or colors.
