Two-by-Two!

A Noah's Ark Theme Baby Shower

If you are looking for a cute theme for a twin baby shower, why not think like Noah, and help gather everything that the mother-to-be will need in two's?  Of course this shower also works well for any new Mom and is gender neutral so it can be used for a boy of a girl. Help your new mom get everything she needs for her bundles of joy!  From Noah's Ark theme invitations to decorations and party favors, this party has it all...times 2!

Baby Shower Invitations

Start with a Noah's Ark theme baby shower invitation with an ark on the front with animals in pairs!  Try something cute like, "Two by Two!  Sara's Twins Are Almost Due!" or ask a question on the invitation, "If you were having twins, of what would you gather two!?" 

Even cuter, is the idea of making a custom caricature of the pregnant mom-to-be standing on Noah's Ark, surrounded by animals in pairs.  Be sure to include a few baby animals!

Another option is a fill in the blank Noah's Ark invitation.  Fill out the party invitation and mail - it's as easy as that.  There is also a matching thank you note for the Mom to be to use after the shower.

Baby Shower Decorations and Party Supplies

You'll want to use lots of fun and festive balloons at your party.  Mix light blue, lavender and pink, white and yellow balloons.  The umbrella shower balloon also works well for this theme.  Get it?  Noah's Ark...rain...umbrella? Place bouquets at the entrance and around the room to brighten any space.

The Two By Two decor kit comes with 4 letter cutouts that spell BABY, 2 centerpieces, a honeycomb bottle and more.  It's got 11 pieces for under $12, so it's certainly a bargain and you'll be able to get a handful to spread around the decorations!

There are a ton of fun options for Noah's Ark Theme Centerpieces!  Here are a few ideas:

• Place two small stuffed animals in the center of each table, and tie some balloons to them (pink/blue/both).  These can be given to the new parents or donated after the party.

• Make centerpieces of different (small) objects (2 of each) that the mother-to-be will need for her twins (sippy cups, pacifiers, rattles, etc.).

• Be on the lookout for cute Noah's Ark theme toys.  There is a great Fisher Price Little People toy with Noah and 8 different animals.  Set it up on a welcome table and then make sure the Mom-to-be takes it home as a gift at the end of the shower.  If you'd like a nice donation option for your party, get one set for each table as your centerpiece.  Then donate the toys at the end of the party to a local children's charity.

For dessert, how about a special baby shower cake in the shape of Noah's Ark?  Or have cupcakes with different animal faces on each one.  Delicious and adorable!

"Two by Two"- This is a great way to break the ice. Have a variety of different sets of stuffed animals. As people walk in the door, hand them a stuffed animal. When everyone has an animal, each person must find the other animal in the pair. They have 5 minutes to find out as much information as they can about each other, and then get to use that information to introduce each other to the rest of the guests.

"The Bottle Race"- Divide players into 3 or more groups (depending on how many players, since each person on the team will get a prize). Give one player from each team a small baby bottle filled with water. When the hostess says, "Go", they must race to see who can finish drinking the bottle first (while their team cheers them on). The team that finishes first is the winner!
