Planning a Party for Twins

A birthday party for twins can provide twice the fun and excitement.  With careful planning you can save time and money by having two parties in one, but don't forget that the celebration is for two separate individuals.  For the first few years, a single theme may work well, however as the twins get older, they will probably each prefer to have a portion of the party devoted especially to them.  If both guests of honor like the same cartoon, movie or theme, you can plan your decorations around two different characters from that theme.  If the party is for one boy and one girl, or the twins have very different preferences, it takes extra planning to incorporate the favorites of each into the party. You may wish to have a separate gift table for each guest of honor, each with its own decorations and color theme.  Another common solution is to have a long folding table with each end decorated separately.  By including one color in both themes, that color can be used for a large bouquet of balloons above the center of the table.   A single cake can be decorated simply to fit both themes, or half and half to feature two themes.  If each twin prefers to have their own cake, placing cakes at opposite ends of a long table is attractive.  An idea that especially appeals to younger guests is to have a small cake with candles (for the "make a wish" tradition) and decorated cupcakes for the guests.  This is an practical way to meet the requests of each honoree and the colorful arrangement of cupcakes double as a festive table decoration.  When it is time to blow out the candles, be sure to sing the birthday song twice!
