Baby Shower Themes for Twins – Economical Baby Shower Invitation: Plan it Well
Baby Shower Themes for Twins – If you are planning an economical baby shower, you should begin curbing your expenditure right from the word ‘go’ and opt for economical baby shower invitation. When you send out an economical baby shower invitation in place of a flashy or ostentatious one, the recipient understands that the baby shower party is going to be a small-scale affair. Thus, there is no scope for misunderstandings or disappointments.
Make Your Own Invitation Cards
Invitation cards based on baby shower themes are widely available in stores. However, you should refrain from purchasing invitation cards, if you wish to cut down on your expenses. Instead, you should visit the stores, just to have an idea regarding calligraphy and designs of different invitation cards. It is also prudent to visit different sites on the Internet for guidelines in the matter. Once you have a fair idea of the subject, you can incorporate things from your own imagination and then make invitation cards using your personal computer. For instance, you can cut the printouts into various shapes pertaining to baby items. For example, you can cut out bib-shaped designs.
In addition, if you are looking for baby shower themes, it is better to have a simple theme that do not raise the cost. For example, if you are aware of the sex of the baby, choose pink color for the theme of the baby shower in case it is a girl. Go for blue color if it is a boy.
Tips To Cut Down Expenditure

For this, you should make out an essential guest list i.e. the list should include only those people who are really close to the mom-to-be. Further, it is much more economical to host the party at home rather than at a restaurant or hotel. After finalizing the theme, guest list, and venue, you may send out the economical baby shower invitation. Finally, you should work out the menu for the party keeping in view the costs that you will incur. It is better to limit it to light snacks or appetizers for keeping the expenses on the lower side.
The primary intents behind hosting baby showers are to bring about a spirit of pregnancy celebration to ease the pressure on the mom-to-be and to provide financial support in the post pregnancy period. Therefore, you need not necessarily make too many elaborate arrangements for entertainment and refreshments. It is just that the gifts that guests bring should be of practical utility to the expectant mother.

See if you can find or make something with a "sugar and spice" theme. That would be so cute and very traditional.

For the theme take into consideration the theme for the nursery and anything that Mommy and/or Daddy-to-be really like ie: favorite childhood characters, favorite animal or favorite sport. There are many more general themes as well if you are having a hard time selecting a character or style you could do a day in the life of baby theme or welcome baby.
When choosing games it is a good idea to consider all of the people that will be attending the shower. If it is mostly friends your daughters age they may be up for more modern games with a lot of guest involvement. If the shower will have many relatives from older generations then you may want to go with more traditional baby shower games.
When selecting prizes remember that they do not have to cost a lot. Candles, small cookbooks, chocolate, gift cards, and coffee or tea sets. Remeber to also consider the ages and interests of all of your guests when selecting the prizes.
With food it is best to have foods that are easy to eat while standing with a plate or holding it on your lap, unless of course you have enough room for everyone to be seated at a table. Most people opt for small sandwiches and appetizer type foods. Also be sure that none of your guests have any food allergies or dietary restrictions that you should know about.

How about a simple fall-ish theme? Little pumpkins, leaves, browns/golds/red colors..
Or to get some ideas, find out the day that your baby shower will be EXACTLY — google the date in history and you're bound to find tons of great things that happened on that day (or your due date) and chose a theme based on a past event?
I love history!.. maybe its just me, but its always been so cute to observe new life being born and relate it to the past in some way. Kinda like blending opposites, yin/yang, etc..
CONGRATS!! <333

How about an "Ode to Baby". Everyone writes a poem or lymerick to read to the mom to be and the best one (either by vote or new mom) gets a prize. This could go well with a book shower where all gifts include a book and have a book theme.
You could do a scrapbook shower if the mom is into that. Each person brings (or you could make at the shower – supply the materials so that everything has the same theme and goes in a matching album) a scrapbook page ready for pictures to be added and you supply a scrapbook to put them in.
You could do a laundry/white shower. The decorations would be clothes lines and everyone bring detergent, hamper, hangers and whites (sheets, bedding, towels, etc.).

Good luck!

First off….I have a page on my website that has some unique/sentimental activities for the shower. These are activities that HAVE NOT been done a gazillion times before.
Now….on to the THEMES!!
Bathtime Showers and Sleepytime Hours
(Moons and stars and rubber ducks would predominate. This themed shower would feature a registry with these items::::bath products, hooded towels, pajamas, nightlights, storybooks, relaxing cds, blankets, crib sheets….etc.)
Activities: Onesie decorating. One-handed crib sheet changing contest (timed)—-if a crib is readily available!!
Children's Storybook Shower: Classic Children's storybooks like "good night moon", "runaway bunny", "where the wild things are", "i love you this much", "dr. seuss", "but not the hippopotamus", "winnie the pooh", etc. You could ask each guest to bring a copy of THEIR favorite storybook to the shower to start off baby's library. The decorations could be prints from the books, themselves….if you look around you could probably find invites that have these types of themes to them!!
Family Tree: If it is a predominately family-oriented shower….focus on the family tree of the new baby!! Have a family tree made for the new baby and this could be a focal point of the decorations. What a great piece to hang in the nursery, too!! Decorations could be this family tree, and napkins/plates with words like "family", "love", "cherish", etc.
Poker-themed baby shower (a totally different idea that might work really well for the daddy-to-be and his cronies….could occur the same day as mommy's shower!!). Buy in for this poker tourney would be a package of diapers. Winner gets a really great gift certificate to some manly place like Home Depot or Best Buy!!! Decorations could be playing cards with daddy being the "King", mommy being the "Queen" and the new baby being the "Jack"????
I make custom diaper cakes designed to match your shower theme….I do really great work and would love to create a cake for the shower and whatever theme you do decide on!!
I am putting some links below that might help you out!

Set the table with a very bold tablecloth, put out a bunch of different tea pots, post signs to different areas of the house that say "this way" and "that way". Put out an old fashioned clock (the kind w/hands, not digital) set to tea time(make sure it doesn't keep time, you want it to stay at tea time).
For games, think pin the tail on the donkey, but do pin the grin on the Cheshire cat. Play croquet. Make everyone wear name tags with their names spelled backwards…then make everyone call each other by their backwards names or they lose the game.
Ask each guest to come dressed as a charachter in the book.
For the fishing theme, decorate with bobbers, cane poles, set out goldfish crackers, swedish fish(candy), gummy worms,etc.
Make fish cutouts, stick a magnet on the back of each, use a small pole w/ a magnet on the end of the string and "fish".
Very clever themes. They sound like a lot of fun.
