Planning a birthday party for twins can be a challenge.  You want to make each child feel like a special individual, while celebrating the fact they were born on the same day. 

You should celebrate too, you get to celebrate two birthdays all rolled up in one day.  While it may be a hectic day, look at the bright side, you only have to do it once (a year)! 

Twins Birthday Party Ideas

1. Dress up the birthday babies and let them be the star.

2. Plan a party based on the twins favorite characters.

3. Plan a cupcake party, they’re the perfect size for one candle. Each child can have their own mini cake. Put out the sprinkles and some decorative icing, and let the children decorate their own cupcakes.

4. Plan a fairytale party, your twins can be princes and princesses.

5. Plan a zoo or jungle party, let everyone stuff their own animal, or give it a two by two, Noah’s Ark theme.

6. Have everyone dress in pairs. If the children all know each other, or if you can coordinate it have all the guests have a twin for the day. You can also have dress up outfits at the party, and have two of each outfit for them to slip on over their clothes.

A children’s Christmas party is one of the easiest parties to plan activities for. There are so many options available, the hardest part will be narrowing it down to one or two.

1. Recruit a couple parent volunteer drivers, and go visit all the great Christmas light displays in your area.

2. Take everyone ice skating.

3. Make fruit baskets, and go caroling to people who are shut in or have no one to visit them during the holiday.

4. Write letters to Santa, and have Santa stop by for a visit.

5. Watch a holiday classic movie, there are so many great ones to choose from.

6. Make Christmas ornaments, or decorate a Christmas tree.

7. Have a cookie swap, or cookie party.
