Pick a Date
While planning a baby shower for twins, picking a suitable date is very important. The expecting mother should be able to appreciate and enjoy the shower, and take home some good memories. Hence, choose a date when the expecting mother will be active enough to do all of these things.
Decide a Location
While choosing a location, it is important to consider the convenience of the expecting couple. Prefer a location that is closer to their home and can be reached easily. Another factor to be considered is the number of guests that the location can accommodate. Above all, the location should fall within your budget too.
Menu Planning
Expecting mothers are sensitive towards certain odors, foods, and ingredients. Considering this scenario, the safest way of planning a menu for a baby shower would be to consult the expecting mother herself. Also, take into account her food cravings and diet restrictions.

Gifts for Expecting Mother
The most important ingredient of a baby shower are the gifts that the expecting mother receives. Diapers, frozen meals, baby food, clothes, and coupons to baby stores are a few gift ideas that will be appreciated by the parents-to-be.
