Twin Girls Baby Shower Ideas

• A baby shower for twin girls can take on a distinctly feminine theme or can include more modern and gender neutral decorations. "Twice Blessed" is a theme that works well for a Christian family that truly believes that babies are a blessing from God. Use images of praying hands and pastel-colored bibles in the decorations. Make sure to feature double baby buggies in pink.
  
  Typical "girlie" themes also can be used to create a twin girls baby shower. For a princess-themed shower, create decorations that feature two baby girls with tiaras on their heads. Pass out favors, such as scepters with the number "two" at the end, and feature a castle cake with two baby princesses on the top of the castle with pacifiers in their mouths.
  
  For a more modern shower, simply use the number "two" as a theme, and choose colors that are feminine but not overly "girlie," such as shades of yellows with accents of brown and pink. Make chocolate lollipops featuring a white chocolate "2" to give to guests as a favor, or simply tie two lollipops together in a bow to play off of the "two" theme.
  
  Another way to celebrate the twin girls' arrival is to create a garden in the shower venue. Use silk flowers and other garden decorations. Choose a particular type and color flower, such as a pink rose, to represent a baby girl. Have two pink roses standing out prominently in the decor, and use two pink roses on the cake and other party items.
  
  

Twin Boys Baby Shower Ideas

• Twin boy baby showers can be created using a variety of ideas and themes. Consider a "Noah's Ark" theme for a twin boy shower. Noah brought two of every kind of animal into the Ark, which can be inspiration for a cute theme. Have two of various types of stuffed animals around the party venue. Feature a Noah's Ark cake with pairs of animals on it, and add light blue piped icing around the cake to make it more distinctly "baby boy."
  
  "Double Trouble" is another idea to use at a twin boy baby shower. Create the image of two baby boys, one carrying a sling shot and the other with a frog in his hand, as the shower's icon. Make reference to the image and the theme in the cake inscription. A saying such as, "Double the sling-shots, frogs and toys -- Watch out world for two little boys!," will be a cute addition to a cake top.
  
  You may choose to use traditional baby boy decoration ideas as well, such as blue teddy bears or sports items. Use two of every decoration to reinforce the twins theme.
  
  

Mixed Gender Baby Shower Ideas

• A mother who is going to be giving birth to a baby boy and a baby girl may appreciate an adorable "Two Peas in a Pod"-inspired baby shower. Feature a pea pod with two little peas, one pink and one blue, as a cake decoration. Use crepe paper streamers and balloons in shades of green and yellow to decorate. Serve dishes that include peas, such as a salad or stirfry with pea pods.
  
  A celestial-inspired shower may include moon and star decorations. Serve a cake that features a moon and two stars with a baby boy asleep on the top of one star and a baby girl on the other. Use dark blue and gold decorations, and use pink accents to represent the baby girl.
  
  

Other Baby Shower Ideas

• When creating baby shower invitations for a twins baby shower, use terms such as "Two Wonderful for Words" and "Twice as Nice" as your heading. You can also choose to follow the theme in invitation wording and images if you have chosen as specific theme. Serve foods that are associated with the number "two," such as twice-baked potatoes or a double-layer cake. Even if you don't mention the reason behind the menu choice, an astute guest may figure it out. To give each twin equal time, you may consider having two showers, one for each baby. Decorate for one baby in one room of the house, and decorate for the other baby in another room of the house. Greet guests, and have an icebreaker game in a room decorated in blue for baby number one. Open gifts in a room decorated in pink for the other baby, and serve cake in a room that is decorated in both pink and blue to represent both babies.
