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.
