Coolest Twins Baby Shower

Throw a twins baby shower?

Double congratulations! But it doesn't mean you have to use double time and double energy. The ideas below help you easily bring double happinesses into the special Baby Shower for Mom.

Before you get started with flood of stuffed animals and gifts :-), take a look at this great Noahs Ark standee.

And here is my favoriest twin personalization kit.

Invitations

You can find lots of Noahs Ark invitations or pre-cut animal cards at party shops or stores like Wal-Mart. I really love the invitation design of Twin Cities.

To make your own twins baby shower invitation, copy two shapes of animal onto card stock for a template. Us any animal you like, such as ducks, lambs, kittens, butterflies, and puppies. Cut out the animal shapes and decorate them with blue or pink ribbons. Write shower details on the back of animals.

Or buy small stuffed animals and tie around greeting card containing your shower details to the stuffed animal's neck, and use another animal for the RSVP card.

In the invitation, encourage guests to bring a stuffed animal to the shower. The animals are usually deposited into a cradle or toy-box that is set up before hand. If the mom is young and hip, have guests bring linens and clothing in wild patterns and prints.

As it's a twins baby shower, write something like:

"Two by two...here they come! (Mom's Name)'s having one boy and one girl. Double the diapers, double the pins, double the fun! We all two happy two have to you here!"

To add a cuter effect, design a caricature of the mom-to-be inside an ark on the invitation front (her companies are two of every animal including 2 baby animals, Phew!), with the question, "If you were having twins, of what would you gather two?"

Costume Design

Twins baby shower with Noahs Ark theme is all about animals and wild. It's a wonderful party to have guests wear animal costumes as wild as they can!

Assign every two of your guests a species to become for your shower(prevent abundance of lions or elephants and no giraffes). You can give a name of animal for each person in your invitation, with simple direction for these costumes.

Costumes can be simple, elaborate, home made or store bought, or even rented.

Encourage guests design their costumes as more creative and complicated as they want. Use anything looks reasonably like an animal's skin, coat, feathers, or scales(such as fake furs, burlaps, feathers of all kinds, old worn out leather items, or even cotton batting). Shiny, satiny, or soft fuzzy material would be ideal in some cases.

Again, remember that you're just looking for something to represent, not necessarily be exact.

Decorations

If you want an unique table setting, you can buy two extra large animal diaper cakes. Great colors and lots of cute animals adorn these baby cakes and double function as a wonderful table centerpiece!

Or you can put two stuffed animals attached with tulips in multiple colors for the centerpiece. A great ide is tie around blue or pink ribbon on their necks(if the twins are two boys or two girls, use the same color according to their sex). Your local Dollar Store usually has lots of small stuffed animals if you want to stock up at a low price.

Another cutest twins baby shower idea is to place two small baby items on each table(different from each table), such as sippy cups, pacifiers and rattles(with animal pictures and tied with balloons).

Since you're having a twins baby shower with Noahs Ark theme, why not make an Ark? But no need to build a big boat!

Just use a large rectangular box and covered it with brown wrapping paper(as decribed in the bible). From black poster board, cut out a window to put along the top edge of the ark. Next, draw the faces of an Owl, Hippo, and a bunny, or any animal you like on white poster board. Cut the faces out and glue them on the black windows to make it look like the animals are peeking out. Then draw some "waves on blue poster board, cut out and glue them to the ark for the bottom edge.

When guests arrive your party, they must place their gifts inside the top of the Ark.

For the color scheme, use bright rainbow colors (yellow, red, blue, purple, green, pink, orange)for balloons, streamers and many other decorations. Or chose everything with the Noahs Ark design.

A very impressive idea for twins baby shower is to make an arch of rainbow colored balloons into a large rainbow. On the back side of the arch, hang blue foil stremers to represent the "rain".

And use chalk to draw big animal footprints on the driveway and leading to your front door.

For the table, sprinkle rainbow colored confetti to white tablecloth, then place any bright color or pastel color plastic-ware on the table.

You can also find lots of napkins, cup and plates with Noah' Ark design at local party store.

Food and Drink

Twins Baby Shower Ideas for Cake

Ferocious-looking Tiger Cake: Use your favorite cake recipe to bake a 9-inch round cake(to form the tiger's face) and two cupcakes(to make the tiger's ears). When the cake has completely cooled, set it in the center of a large, round pizza pan with the two cupcakes. And frost the cake and cupcakes with orange icing. Then zigzag chocolate piping on the face for stripes and details, add green candies for eyes, assorted chocolates for the nose and ears, and black licorice strings for the whiskers.

Another cool animal cake idea for twins baby shower: Buy two round cakes and slice off the rounded top (The top makes a perfect reward for hungry helpers who are having trouble waiting for the final masterpiece!). Frost the round cake with chocolate icing and use a paper plate cut in half and tape together to shape of a half moon(you get two half moons). Then use animal cookies(two of every animal) to make the animals marching all over the cake and around the edge.

Twins Baby Shower Ideas for Food

Serve foods in natural containers like grapefruit shells or scooped out peppers filled with cream meats or salads. Use wooden baskets or bowls for dried fruit. A more colorful idea for twins baby shower is to look for animal shaped serving pieces in china, pottery, or clay. Mix the two types of serving pieces for an interesting look.

Here is the real stuff:

* veggies with dips and heaps of lettuce
* green salad
* tuna or chicken salad
* leafy platters of grapes and cheese
* animal crackers tray
* raisin
* fresh and dried fruit
* cut peanut butter and jellyphant sandwiches into animal shapes with animal cookie cutter.

Twins Baby Shower Ideas for Drink

Serve any fruit punch like:

* blackberry Lemonade
* mulled apple cider with orange ginger
* orange Tea
* grape juice

Gifts

Twins can go through almost 20 diapers a day! So bring enough diapers to the shower.

The mom-to-be of twins or even multiples need an extra hand and two or more of everything. A great idea is to get together enough people and have a larger purchase, such as two baby beds, a double stroller or even a double baby-sit!

Games

Printable Noahs Ark Game

Noah took two of everything, but can you name 2 animals for every letter of the alphabet? Test your animal knowledge as you race against the clock from this printable Noahs Ark game for twins baby shower.

Animal Kingdom Icebreak

A baby is a baby is a baby. Can you guess the name for babies of these species? The one with the most correct answers wins.

Here is an example answer sheet for this twins baby shower game:

* Dog (puppy, puppies) * Cat (kitten) * Fish (fry) *Bear (cub) * Horse (foal) * Geese (goslings) * Ducks (ducklings) * Kangaroo (joeys) * Armadillo (pup) * Bat (battling) * Deer (fawn) * Frog (tadpole) * Grasshopper (nymph) * Turtle (hatchling).

Double Pin The Baby In The Mommy

This is one of the funniest twins baby shower ideas adopted from the ever-popular children’s party game, Pin the Tail on the Donkey.

Get two long white rolls of paper, and crayons. Tape two 5 or 6 foot sections to the wall, and have the mother-to-be stand in front while one of the guests traces her outline on both of the two white posters. Then have the mother-to-be leave the room.

Seperate the guests into two teams that they are to color the two poster with what mom was wearing, the right color of her eyes, hair, and not to forget any jewelry. You might want to move the poster to the floor for coloring.

Then have the mother-to-be come back in the room so guests can play Pin the Baby in the Mommy using her portraits(pin the pin the baby picture on the Mommy drawing in the two posters).

Matching Baby Socks

The animals on the Ark went two by two - and baby socks do too!

Ask each guest, via the invitation, to bring a pair of baby socks to the twins baby shower...just make sure you have extras because someone always forgets.

In the center of your shower area, or on a table, make a pile of 10 - 15 separated pairs of baby socks (solids, patterned, and different sizes). Give each guest 30 seconds to match as many pairs as they can. The guest with most pairs of matching socks, wins a prize.

If you want to get a little crazier, try having everyone match socks at once, and set the time limit to 2 minutes.

Favors

One of the coolest twins baby shower ideas is to send guests home with a little gift bag with some items that go with the Noahs Ark theme. It could be a small basket, with a box of animal crackers, an animal key chain, and their choice of two small stuffed animals.

Or send your guests with nest twins mint tins.

If you are looking for something sweet, chocolate animals(bears, bunnies, and whatever other animals you can find)wrapped in blue or pink ribbons are always welcome to say "thank you".
