Babies are eagerly awaited additions to any family. Expecting twins can cause quite a stir because they are somewhat unusual. Fortunately, organizing a baby shower for twins is actually no different than organizing for one baby. The biggest difference is in the way that the shower is announced.
Making Your Own Printable Twin Baby Shower Invitations
Printing your own twin baby shower invitations can give you a sense of control and accomplishment that hiring someone to print them for you cannot. Making your own printable twin baby shower invitations is not difficult if you have some knowledge of and access to a program like Microsoft Word or Publisher. You will also need a reliable color printer and some artwork to add to your printable baby shower invitations. Do a Google search for “free baby clip-art” to find a wide variety of baby-related images you can add.
You can print the invitations on regular paper and stick them in a regular envelope, or print on cardstock for a slightly more high-end appearance. Cardstock can be purchased in most office or art supply stores. You can also find blank invitation cards in bookstores and party supply stores, which you can use for your printable twin baby shower invitations and will come with their own matching envelopes.
Wording Your Printable Twin Baby Shower Invitations
You will need to word your printable twin baby shower invitations slightly different that you would for a single baby pregnancy. There is actually little need to differentiate between twins and single babies, other than to phrase the announcement slightly differently. Use something as simple as “We’re having twins!” or a more formal “Join us in celebrating the upcoming birth of our two bundles of joy!”
Twin baby shower invitations can also show two babies instead of a single one or two baby items, like two baby carriages, two feedings bottles etc. If you are aware of the gender of the babies the colors of the twin baby shower invitations can correspond to this. If the twins are of different genders, you can opt for a neutral baby color that is suitable for both sexes such as yellow or green, or you can have the twin baby shower invitations in a rainbow of pastel colors.
Be sure that your printable twin baby shower invitations are in the mail and on their way to the guests no less than three weeks before the day of the shower. This is the minimum time your guests will need to buy or prepare their gifts and schedule the event into their calendars.

Save Time, Effort, and a Postage Stamp by Sending On Line Baby Shower Invitations
There are a wide variety of shapes, sizes and designs for baby shower invitations. They can be personalized invitations that the hosts created themselves or generic invitations that the host filled out at their convenience. One of the more modern forms are on line baby shower invitations that the host can send electronically via email. These invitations are commonly used if most of the friends and relatives of the parents-to-be are wired.
Ideas for On Line Baby Shower Invitations
With on line baby shower invitations, you have endless possibilities. Since they are created on the computer and sent electronically, you can let your imagination go wild and include pictures, graphics and other clip art to make the on line baby shower invitations more interesting and attractive, without worrying about printing costs.

The key is to choose the right one to suit the occasion. Animated invitations can also be fun to watch and you can be assured that the recipients will watch it several times if it is highly amusing or interesting.
Another suggestion for creating on line baby shower invitations is to personally write down the names of the recipients instead of a generic invitation. This can be done by just editing the heading of the on line baby shower invitations one by one. This makes for a more personal invitation that the recipient will appreciate.
Keep the File Size Small
To make your on line baby shower invitation easier to send and receive, keep the file size down and stick with a smaller, web-friendly version. Bigger formats and files are sometimes difficult to open and your recipients might not be able to see what your email is all about. The ideal size of the file should not be more than 500kb. People with slow internet connections can still open this without too long of a wait. If you know all the recipients have high-speed connections , you can increase the size of your file but it generally is better to stick to a smaller-sized on line baby shower invitations to be sure.

Save Money and Personalize This Great Event With Your Own Do-It-Yourself (DIY) Baby Shower Invitations
Baby showers are important events that herald the imminent arrival of a baby. They are usually held for the mother one or two months before the baby is due. Many baby showers have themes, which give the guests a cue regarding their gifts. One of the very first steps to a fantastic baby shower is having great invitations. Many baby shower hosts prefer to create their own DIY baby shower invitations to help express the joy of the upcoming occasion.
Making DIY Baby Shower Invitations
DIY baby shower invitations can be incredibly easy to make with your computer and a color printer. You may wish to use cardstock or photo paper if you are making DIY baby shower invitations with pictures. The great thing about making your own invitations is that you have complete control of everything in the invitation. There are many ideas one can consider when thinking of an invitation format or theme. One of the things that you need to remember when making DIY baby shower invitations is how to get your happiness across to the guests regarding the arrival of the baby.
Invitations that depict the pregnant mother with her partner can be one way of making DIY baby shower invitations. You can also make a montage of pictures taken from the first month of pregnancy to the latest month showing the progress of the mother during her pregnancy. If you are keen on having a picture on the invitation, baby’s first picture (the ultrasound) can be used for the invitation. This works especially well if you have a 4D echo picture as compared to the traditional 2D pictures.
Including Dad
Another way to make beautiful DIY baby shower invitations is to include the father-to-be’s like and preferences into the invitations, along with those of the mother-to-be. If known, the gender of the baby can also play a huge role on how the DIY baby shower invitations will look like. Baby boys’ invitations are usually made of sports equipment (or frogs, snails and puppy-dog tails) and baby boy colors while baby girls’ DIY baby shower invitations are usually pink along with ribbons, bows and lace (not to mention sugar and spice and all things nice).
The ideas used in DIY baby shower invitations can also be included in the overall theme for the baby shower. These kinds of invitations show the love, effort and thoughtfulness that have been put into creating a memorable baby shower. DIY baby shower invitations are also usually much less expensive than customized invitations from a stationery store.
