You can have all of your guests fill out envelopes with their addresses so Mom has less work to do when she is sending thank you notes. You can also use these pre-filled envelopes to draw for a door prize.

“Peas in a Pod” is another popular theme. This is one that goes with twins, triplets, or even more. Just change number: two peas in a pod, three peas in a pod, and so on. And this is another theme that has a lot of coordinating party supplies.

You can use twin baby shower invitations from a printer, or as an alternative, you can hand print invitations and attach them to packets of pea seeds. You could also use pea seeds as party favors.

Remember game “guess how many jelly beans”? You can do a variation on this with “guess how many peas”. Prizes can be frozen or canned peas. Sounds silly, but everyone can use some extra veggies!

Decorations in green can include green balloons tied in bundles according to number of babies. Many online retailers sell “peas in a pod” apparel. That can be personalized with babies’ names for baby showers for twins.

So what are some appropriate gifts for a baby shower for twins or multiples? Diapers. Need we say more? Twins can go through almost 20 diapers a day! Buy smallest size available, usually newborn, as they are likely to fit into them for a while. Another possibility would be giving a supply of baby cloth diapers and plastic pants.

Moms of multiples can always use an extra hand. You can either give her one of yours by offering to baby-sit or help out around house, or you can buy her a bouncy seat to keep one of little ones occupied while she tends to other. If you offer your services to Mom, make sure that you follow up on that offer. Don’t make her ask for help because she may not feel comfortable doing so.

Purchasing more expensive items for baby shower for twins will help parents a great deal, since they will need two or more of everything. Several people could get together and make one larger purchase, like a double stroller.
