Re: Baby Shower Question (Twins related)

one of dh's friends from childhood had triplets. I could not attend the shower but sent a gift.

I bought her a diaper bag and packed it full of new mommy essentials.

I never even thought that I'd have to give more then one gift.

I would not think that you should get 2. I would set a budget and if I saw two things that are within the range then I would get 2, otherwise I think it's fine to get 1 nice gift.

I think it depends on what you plan to give. I don't think you need to give 2 swings or car seats, or bouncer seats etc (unless you want to or can afford to) but if you are giving smaller items - blankets, clothing, toys, etc I would give double so that each would have one. I would decide what you can afford to spend then see what the mom needs and go from there.

It depends on what you are going to give. If you are giving clothes - then yes. If you are giving a bigger item, I didn't expect anyone to buy two of them. I also didn't register for two of everything.
I'd look at the registry and see what you can afford, just like you would at any other shower.

Re: Baby Shower Question (Twins related)

I had a sprinkle for the twins and many brought two outfits, but others brought just one gift ( diapers, a bumbo seat...) and I never thought twice about it ( 2 vs. one) , maybe cause it was just a sprinkle, but I dont think it matters at all.
