Throwing Twins Baby Shower

Hi! I can't be much help in giving ideas for the party but for your sister....I would highly recommend that each guest be asked to bring a homecooked meal to put in your sister's freezer along with their gift. My friends did this for me and I only had one baby. It was the best gift ever.

best of luck

When is the shower? I gave a dear friend of mine a shower after the baby was born(that's the way she wanted it), and since the baby was born near Christmas, I picked out a very special beautiful Baby's First Christmas ornament had it had it as a cake topper. It was beautiful, and she loved it!

My sister in law had the same struggle and success. They lived a state away, but we threw them a video shower. Anyway, some games we did was we froze those little plastic babies in ice and made everyone write down how long before their baby is "born". Put them in a cup and pour water in them and let them sit while doing other things. Write down the start time or start a timer. We also played a game of memory with baby and parenting issues. For example: Breastfeeding, twins, mommy, daddy, babysitter, etc. Then whoever gets the match is rewarded with a candy corresponding with that issue. Milky way for breastfeedings, double mint gum for twins, life savers for babysitters, and tootsie rolls for dirty diapers. If you would like the list that I used, email me and I will send it. We also bought multiple things from like a dollar store to hand out that came in pairs or is called a pair. Like a pair of socks, earrings, pair of nail clippers, pair of scissors, etc. The dummy prize on that one was an actual pear. We also had them unscramble words that we jumbled like onsies or bottle. I hope this gives you some ideas.

I had twins and when we did the baby shower, one of the games was to guess how big around my belly was..it was fun to see how many inches people thought that I was!!
Good Luck!!

Hi A.,
Watch out with Twins! I have a set and I didn't have a shower for them because they were my 3rd/4th kids, but when I was throwing my cousin a shower I googled baby shower games and I can't remember what site it was on but the sell everything for 2 pea's in a pot. From invataions to plates, to games. It was so cool, I wished I would have had one at that point, but it was to late. Also the one thing your sister is going to need is Diapers!!! We went threw so many the first week we couldn't believe it. Now a day's it seems like everyone is having twins, so they have twins everything! I also found a twin ballon at the dollar store! I couldn't believe it I had been looking and then 3 months after they were born I found it, I bought it anyway! But good luck with the party, I'm sure she'll love anything!

A game we played at mine was pretty fun. Pass around a spool of yarn and everyone cuts off a piece they think would match the size of the expecting mom's stomach. Who's ever is the closest is the winner.

For my baby shower, my sister did a diaper raffle instead of games. She made a wonderful gift basket full of little luxuries (soaps, lotions, candles, etc.) To buy a raffle ticket, people had the option of bringing a pack of diapers... any size and brand. She put a cute little poem she found on line in the invite to let guests know of the raffle. It was great. I didn't have to buy diapers for months and had lots of different sizes and brands to try out to see which worked best for my baby. It saved me a lot of money and people seemed to really like the raffle idea over the baby games.

There was a lady in our ward who had twins and they had to be in the hospital for a while. When they were both able to come home, some ladies in the ward had an open house for 2 hours at a time that was convienient for the twins' schedule.
