In preparation for the birth of your famous pair, plan a shower with a theme of famous childhood pairs. There are many famous pairs beloved to children including Jack and Jill, Raggedy Ann and Andy, Hansel and Gretel, Bert and Ernie and Tom and Jerry. Many of these famous pairs come from favorite childhood nursery rhymes, cartoons, and stories. Encourage your guests to dress up as famous pairs, it will only add to the fun and nature of the shower!

The decorations for the Famous Pairs Baby Shower can be fun and playful; check out children’s birthday or party decorations for some of the famous pair themed party supplies. Take you favorite childhood books of the famous pairs and place them on end and coffee tables for your guests to read and remember the familiar tales. Make your flower arrangements or centerpieces in little pails, just like the one from the Jack and Jill story. Or use the pails for food items on your food table.

For a shower activity, make a game on sheets of paper where the person has to match the famous pair with a hint from its corresponding story or tale. The shower planner can have a small prize for the winner. Dig deep for some really tricky ones to challenge your guests. For gifts, encourage your guests on the invitation to bring gifts that involve famous pairs. For example books, comics, videos, dolls, and games involving childhood famous twins or pairs. Think fairy tales, Sesame Street’s Bert and Ernie and other famous childhood stories of twins like Jack and Jill and Hansel and Gretel. The new gifts will help the parents build a great library of toys, games, and books for their little twins to teach them about other famous pairs, just like them.
