Can I Have a Baby Shower During Covid?
If you’re wondering if you can have a baby shower after the pandemic, the answer is YES!
There are so many options, mama. Even if you don’t feel comfortable having an in-person twin baby shower, consider:
- Virtual baby showers via video
- Drive-by parades, decorating their lawn and passing out goodie bags to people’s cars
- Small in-person baby showers with those in their bubble
- Socially-distant backyard showers
- A mix, having only besties over in person, and projecting a Zoom call up on a sheet in the backyard
Whatever route you decide on, don’t miss out on this awesome experience. It only comes once, after all!
Whichever option you go with, definitely think about one of these cute themes for your twin baby shower. As only ~3% of pregnancies are twin pregnancies, you’re one of the few who can actually use these themes, so your shower is sure to be unique!
I’ve scoured the internet and pulled together these 24 fun twin baby shower ideas for you. Enjoy!
When should twin moms have a baby shower?
Many experts state the best time to have a twin baby shower is near the end of the second trimester, around month 6. It’s earlier than most baby showers, but consider that many twins come early and you’ll be happy you did!
1. Two Peas in a Pod
This twin baby shower idea is both adorable and perfectly suited for twins! Many people even say the best name for a twin baby shower is called “two peas in a pod”.
Two peas in a pod is a great gender neutral baby shower idea that can come to life in fun ways. The green theme can go a long way, from plants, to napkins, to decor!
2. Two Buns in the Oven
This is an adorable twin shower theme, focused all around baking: Two Buns in the Oven.
Think of all the twin shower food ideas that could come out of these – cupcakes, donuts, muffins, petit-fours, cookies, croissants, the works!
You can even take it a step further and turn it into a tea party (take a look at #4 on this list!).
Is your mouth watering yet?
3. Thing 1 & Thing 2
Dr. Seuss gives us another classic twin theme: Thing 1 and Thing 2!
For twin shower decor for this one, think wobbly cakes, fun rhymes, and all things red, white, and blue. You can DIY a lot of this theme, by simply buying plain red or blue items (like gift bags) and adding a white circular sticker to them.
Ideally, the red/white/blue decor can be even reused for future holidays and parties!
4. Tea for Two
Tea for two…and two for tea! This adorable feminine twin baby shower theme is perfect for the girly girl out there.
How many of us threw pretend fancy tea parties when we were young? This is your chance to do it as a grown up. Break out the tiny finger sandwiches, petit fours, and arrangements of black, green, white, and herbal teas. Add a few batches of fresh-cut flowers, and you’re set!
5. Babies Are Brewing
Calling all java lovers – this baby shower theme is for you! For food at this twin soiree, you can have bowls of chocolate-covered espresso beans, tiramisu…even chocolate martinis for guests, if you’re feeling fancy!
If you’re a coffee lover (like me), this idea for a twin baby shower might be the perfect blend for you.
6. S’More Fun with Two
Keeping along the food theme, a campfire / s’mores party can be a cute way to celebrate your twins to be.
Picture campfires, nature, and chocolatey desserts. You can set up little tents and even have a chocolate dessert bar.
I mean, really, chocolate dessert bar…need I say more?
7. Oh Babies!
This is a cute and classic twin shower theme. Simply put: Oh Babies!
You could have twin babies integrated everywhere into your decor (two babies everywhere there’s typically one), party favors (think twin babies clinging to straws), and shower games (pin the bows on the babies).
For the classic twin mom to be, this one is for you.
8. Oh Boy, Oh Boy, Double the Joy
If you’re pregnant with twin boys, this one could be for you!
Go with the blue theme and oh boy, oh boy, you’ve got yourself a twin baby shower idea.
Think shades of blue everywhere and everything set up in pairs (two goodie bags, two cupcakes connected together, two sandwich pieces pinned together, etc.).
This is a simple yet creative twin shower theme that’s easy to implement either in person or virtually.
9. From Tiny Seeds Grow Mighty Trees
Next up on the ideas for twin baby showers is a nature theme, which I really love. From little seeds, grow mighty trees.
This can be an inexpensive shower idea, bringing in ideas from nature.
Picture pine cones decorating the party table, wooden coasters customized with each guest’s name and packets of seeds for each guest to take home.
All you have to do to decorate for this one is visit your great outdoors and order a few pieces online. These decoration ideas are so easy to repurpose for future events too, like Thanksgiving.
10. TWINkle TWINkle Little Star
Bring in a hint of outer space into your event, with a Twinkle Twinkle little star shower theme, perfect for twins.
The great thing here is that a lot of the party decor can be reused for other holidays, like Christmas, New Years, etc. – especially the twinkly lights, stars, and hanging fabric. This can be a great way to save money on your twin shower!
11. Noah’s Ark
Another natural twin theme can be Noah’s ark. The animals march on, two by two!
Add animals all over the place, make sure to double them up, and you have a cute, animal-themed baby shower.
12. Doublemint
Whether you want to make this your main twin shower idea or simply incorporate it as a party favor, this can be a fun way to get into the twin theme.
Find a cute poem about twins, stick it on the back of Doublemint gum, and you have your self a cute and customized twin party favor.
Here’s the poem in the below photo:
“Double the pleasure, double the fun, double the miracles instead of one! Thanks for coming to our twin baby shower.”
13. Due with Two
If you’re due with two, this one is for you (thank you, I’m here all week).
What a cute theme to welcome your twins. This due with two twin theme is unique, special, and is specific to twins (so you know it won’t be used a lot).
This theme is all about love. You can get creative with hearts everywhere, filling your home with love for your expecting twinnies.
14. Cowboy Theme: Son of a Gun, there’s More than One!
Heeyaa, break out the Western theme!
I love the textured look of these party invites. Think of everything Wild West for this twin shower – rustic, delicious, and cowboy themed.
To help protect your guests, this shower theme even embraces masks! You can hand out bandannas for everyone to wear over their face masks for an added layer of protection while Covid is still around.
15. Miracles Come in Pairs
Another idea for twin baby showers: a special Miracles Come in Pairs theme.
Especially if you’ve struggled to conceive, this one can hold powerful meaning to the expectant twin mom.
This theme can be gender neutral or catered towards your twin boys or twin girls. Either way, it’s a wonderful reminder that your miracles are on their way.
16. Double the Giggles
Find a cute twin poem and cater your shower around it! In this case, there’s a double the giggles, double the grins twin theme. Add a “twins” cake topper to the shower cake, and the theme can come alive.
The poem in this theme:
“Double the giggles, double the grins,
double the trouble, when you’re blessed with twins.”
17. Two Scoops are Better than One
Along the “two are better than one” theme, this invite focuses on ice cream – a great idea for a summer shower (or for any ice cream fanatic, for that matter).
Picture a full on ice cream social, complete with a sundae bar, ice cream, cones, toppings, the works!
After all, two ARE better than one.
18. Womb Mates
The next twin baby shower theme is an adorable spin on roommates – woomb mates!
You could have double of everything at this twin party: two name tags, two cakes, two party favors, and more.
This is a sure shower idea that won’t be nabbed up by your singleton friends!
19. Best Friends
Think of the twin baby shower game ideas you could come up with from this theme!
You could have photos of best friends from famous TV shows, and lots of fun matching games. Because, ultimately, you’re celebrating a friendship your twins will have for years to come.
As a twin mom myself, who also has twin sisters, I’ve seen the bond that these siblings can have. This is a cute and simple twin baby shower idea that is sure to impress and tug at the heart strings.
20. Keep Calm, it’s Only Twins!
If you’ve read anything on this blog, you know that twins are a lot of work (but also an incredible experience)!
As popular as the “keep calm” mottos are, this twin baby shower idea is sure to resonate. You can customize it with a twin spin to make it your own!
21. Sugar & Spice, Twice as Nice
If you’re pregnant with twin girls, this sugar and spice / twice as nice theme is a natural.
For the shower food, think spiced cake, pink and gold party decorations, and a glitzy party table.
For a fun, non-corny shower game, you could even spice things up with a spicy tasting table, where you challenge guests to see how much spice they can handle!
22. General Twins Baby Shower Theme
While I’ve listed out lots of specific theme ideas, remember that it’s okay to go with a generic twins baby shower theme too.
Having twins is a unique, special, and uncommon event (remember, only ~3% of all pregnancies are twins). Celebrate that! I mean, come on, don’t you love this twin cake idea??
23. Two Little Monkeys
Whether it’s two little monkeys jumping on the bed or simply two little monkeys alone, this is one of the cute twin baby shower ideas that brings some fun to the party.
I’ve also seen it work with two elephants in a cute grey gender-neutral decor. Picture little animals tucked into the decor, banana-themed desserts, etc.
24. Double Trouble
Let’s be real, you know you’ve thought about it!
There are cute ways to bring this Double Trouble twin theme to life. I love this version that highlights double the love and double the grins.
25. Owl Theme: Whoo, Whoo, There’s Going to be Two!
Another adorable animal theme for your twin shower is owls.
This one naturally directs itself towards nature, with trees, leaves, and outside decor coming in. There’s a lot you can DIY here, with rustic and homemade decorations.
Making Your Twin Baby Shower Unique

One way to do so it with awesome party favors. Think about branding your theme idea in a more permanent way than paper cards. One really cool idea – you can turn your theme into a custom pins or custom embroidered patch! You can even save your copies of them for years to come – what a cool memento.
