Two Peas in a Pod Baby Shower Themes for Twin Babies
For a mother who is expecting twins, a “Two Peas in a Pod” baby shower theme is a noteworthy plan , for both baby boys and girls. This theme is all about announcing the future birth of not just one, but two babies, and marking their coming into the world. Two Peas in a Pod is a very adaptable theme , and permits for a lot of litheness and room to be artistic . For a mom who is anticipating triplets or quadruplets, you can customize the name of this theme and call it “Three Peas in a Pod” or “Four Peas in a Pod.” From the invitations to the food to the very special baby gifts, this article will tender a number of great tips for putting together the ultimate “Two Peas in a Pod” baby shower of the year.
For the invitations , green cards and envelopes are your highest bet. If you can get a number of peas-in-a-pod-themed invitations , those will work ideally for the baby shower. If not, a fine plan is to get some invitations or have a number of made that fold to open and close (like you can open and close a pea pod to get the peas), and that are green. A nice color pattern for your invitations would be to make the background light green and the lettering on the inside a darker green. Pea-themed embellishments will make your invitations stick out from the rest, and for an extra flair, fling some green, round confetti inside of the invitation. The confetti makes a fun , surprise constituent when the invited participants open their invitations . Confetti can also add magic to the opening of the baby gifts twins, Mother and Dad will love.
For prizes, a wonderful plan is to buy bathing and lotion sets that are “sweet pea” scented. You can wrap these wonderfully in green cellophane paper and decorate with ribbon and embellishments . If you come across green polka-dotted cellophane paper, those will bind into the theme even more, since the polka dots look like little peas. For tiny gifts, melt light green white chocolate chips (can be found at your local craft store), or melt standard white chocolate chips and combine a pair of drops of green food coloring, and stuff the melted chocolate into little sphere-like molds. Acquire small, green paper boxes and stuff them up with a few white chocolate “peas.” These enhanced boxes can be found at the weddings/showers section of your local craft store. Don’t forget to decorate the pea pod boxes, and individualize them if you desire.
When it comes to food, it is important to be inventive . A full buffet of peas would probably be a little weird and unappetizing , so find a way to incorporate lots of diverse types of foods that look like peas in a certain way. For instance , edamame and seedless green grapes together make delicious and nutritious snacks to chomp on. Cupcakes decorated with baby green vanilla frosting and covered with a darker tint of green, sparkly sprinkles are wonderful for dessert. Split pea soup is a delicious starter that you can include, and is a favorite in America. For the cake, order a cake shaped like a pea pod or that is decorated with pea pods, to tie into the “Two Peas in a Pod” theme . For the total color system of the event, a palette of light green and dark green works wonderfully .
Having a baby shower for twins is double the fun and will be a memorable event for everyone, beginning with the surprised look on Mom’s face when she sees the big crowd celebrating her upcoming births and ending with the final touch of opening each twin gift, specially chosen, with love.
