Planning a twins baby shower for twins, triplets & multiple babies is an extra-special occasion. There are many different themes that can be planned for twin, triplet and multiple baby showers, such as ‘two peas in a pod’. Because it is a multiples baby shower, having ‘it’s a boy’ or ‘it’s a girl’ will not work. There are also gender-neutral themes that would work very well for a multiples baby shower, including animals, ducks, etc.

Additionally, whether preparing twins baby shower invitations or triplets baby shower cards , the hostess should include in the shower invitations to all the invited guests of how many expected babies there are. This will help the guests to purchase appropriate gifts. It would also be helpful to the guests to include on the multiples baby shower announcements where the Mom-to-Be is registered. The Mom-to-Be should register for both lower-priced and higher-priced items. When there are multiple babies, some guests will want to purchase a higher-priced item together.

Another thing to include on the twin baby shower invitations is whether the Mom-to-Be would prefer having non-matching outfits. This may be hard to communicate, but it is an important item to find out from her, particularly if the babies are the same gender or identical twins, triplets or multiples. The Mom-to-Be may prefer to have clothing that is separate to help give the babies separate identities.

When purchasing baby shower gifts for multiple babies, it is not necessary to purchase multiples sets of everything. There are plenty of things that can be shared between the babies. Of course, having multiple babies will increase the cost of diapers, wipes, etc. that much more, so those types of gifts are always appreciated. But giving something fun is a nice idea too. Mothers of twins, triplets and multiples will usually forgo the fun, cute items for more practical, everyday items, such as books on rearing twins, triplets or multiple babies. Don’t forget about dad—with so many fathers playing larger roles in their children’s lives, inviting other men might be worthwhile and fun.
