Hosting A Twin Baby Shower

Typically, when you plan a baby shower for a woman who's having a single baby, you wait and schedule just a couple of weeks before the due date. A month at most.

But planning a shower for twins is a little different.

You want the mother-to-be to be able to enjoy the shower and you need to remember that women carrying twins or triplets are often under a lot more physical stress than other pregnant women. By the time those last few weeks arrive they may be too uncomfortable to enjoy a party.

There's also a little more risk when carrying twins and they may be under house arrest - or bed rest - by that last month, or even by the last trimester.

When planning a baby shower for a woman expecting twins, plan it for no later than the end of the second trimester so they're comfortable and mobile enough to enjoy it.

And if you really want to make it special, plan the party at her house. But make sure YOU handle everything! Including arriving early enough to prepare the food and decorate and staying late enough to clean up every last trace of the party and help put all the gifts away!
