How to Make Twin Baby Shower Invitations
Organizing a twin baby shower means double the fun. Start with invitations indicating two bundles of joy are on the way. Use graphics and verses pointing out the shower will celebrate twins. Coordinate the shower invitations to match the twin's nursery. This makes planning a little easier if a boy and girl are expected. Look online for discounts and sales at your local craft store to ease the cost of shower invitations. Does this Spark an idea?

Determine basic information. Consult with the mom-to-be on a date, time, location and theme for the baby shower. Ask for a guest list, including addresses, of friends, family and co-workers she'd like to invite. Think about important information to include on the invitations such as location and address, phone number to RSVP and if guests need to bring anything. Enclose a map or directions for guests not familiar with the location. Consider including registry information or offer it as guests RSVP.

Jot down ideas. Create a sketch of your twin baby shower invitation. Incorporate the selected theme into the sketch. Twin baby shower invitations showcase two of everything such as two baby carriages or two baby bottles, letting guests know twins are on the way. Look at samples of invitations on the Internet and magazines to get ideas. Write down ideas for wording, including a mention of twins. Try something like, "Two Peas in a Pod, Two Bundles of Joy! Oh what fun the new mom and dad will have times two!" or "Heard the forecast? Two baby boys are predicted! But first we'll celebrate with a shower!" Think about embellishments that fit your theme. Consider diaper pins, colored ribbon or die cuts of baby bottles or strollers.

Purchase supplies. Make a list of supplies and how many invitations you will make. Head to your local craft store and buy card stock, ribbon, glitter and embellishments to complete the invitations. Taking a list of ideas prevents you from purchasing items you don't need and ensures you get enough of the items you do need. Consider matching the colors and theme in the nursery especially if the twins are a boy and girl. This makes planning a little easier.
