Twins Baby Shower Ideas
Advice Book – leave a keepsake journal available for guests to write advice for the new mother.
Distraction game– For this game you will need a timer, clothesline, phone, baby doll, baby clothes and clothes pins. Take turns timing each guest on how quickly they can string up a certain amount of clothing on a clothesline. The trick comes when they have to have a phone on one ear. The bigger the phone the better. In the other hand they have to hold a baby doll. This is great practice for the mother to be…since both of her hands will be full with twins.
Double Food – Double mint gum, double-decker sandwiches, twin pops, etc.

Baby shower invitations are the preview to your baby shower theme. Baby shower invitations should be designed and sent out 3 to 4 weeks before the actual event. Here are some baby shower invitation ideas for making invitations for either gender.
Baby Shower Invitations
Buy some cardstock in a boy or girl colors such as blue, green, pink or lilac. Buy some plain white paper as well as this will line the inside of the invitation. Cut the cardstock into an 8-1/2” x 5-1/2” sheet. The white paper will go over the cardstock making the cardstock act as a border, so make sure to cut the white paper smaller than the cardstock. Paste the two sheets of paper together.
Now it is time to pick a design. With a boy you can choose from animals to a sports theme. Go to the local crafts store and look for fun stickers. With a girl look for stickers such as lollipops, soft cuddly animals or baby doll strollers. Close the invitation and punch holes using a hole puncher. Space the holes evenly. Now take a ribbon and lace it through the holes. These homemade baby shower invitations can be saved as keepsake items for your child.

Rubber Ducky Baby Shower
Hold an adorable rubber ducky baby shower as a perfect theme choice for those who do not know the babys gender. A rubber ducky baby shower is a neutral theme that fits for both boys and girls. If you do know the babys gender you can combine yellow with a girl or boyish color to enhance the decorations.
Rubber Ducky Baby Shower
If your rubber ducky shower is a duck in a bathtub theme then combine yellow with blue colors (to simulate water). Use wash bin or tub centerpieces with water and have actual rubber ducks floating in it (mom can use these later as the child grows older). Attach helium balloons to each individual rubber ducky for room decorations. Expand your rubber ducky shower theme by including Donald Duck for a boy baby shower or Daisy Duck for a girl.
