If you are having twins, why not double up and pair off? Celebrate the power of two’s by planning a couple’s baby shower. This shower idea has a slightly different twist on the traditional couples baby shower. For the more modern parents who are leaning away from the idea of all-women baby showers, this is a great way to get the guys involved. Instead of the traditional morning or afternoon shower, have a dinner party in the evening for this shower on a Saturday night. That way the guys don’t feel as awkward attending a “baby” shower. But also encourage your guests to bring a friend or family member, it does not have to be all “couples” – the shower, like the notion of having twins, will follow the theme of “the more the merrier.”

Since you are expecting twins, there will be double the guests and double the fun. Everything involved in the shower will be in twos, two cakes, two entrees, and two games. If having one boy and one girl, you can have a girl’s cake and a boy’s cake for your guests. The same idea can be used with the food choices too – serve traditional guy food like burgers and steaks, but also have a dish girls might like better like an entrée of salad or pasta. Just as long as you are keeping with the theme of two’s, anything goes for this couples shower.

Encourage your guests to follow the theme and bring gifts that are in sets of two’s for the two little ones that are on the way. For shower activities, set out childhood games that are to be played in twos like checkers, Connect 4, and card games. You could also rent a karaoke machine and have a sing-off of duets by each attending guest couple. The guys will not ever realize they are at a baby shower!
