Over the past weekend I hosted a baby shower for my girlfriend who is pregnant with twins. We decided to go against the norm and have the baby shower in the morning time and serve breakfast. The food was fresh and delish, especially since Amanda (who needs to start her own catering company) cooked most of it. All the food was prepared that morning–buttermilk pancakes, cinnamon rolls, quiche, sausage balls, dutch babies. Amanda made an almond syrup that was heavenly.
For decorations and a gift for the twins I made these mobiles. I love them. I think I’m going to make some more for my kid’s room. Click here for mobile instructions.
Since the mommy is going to have double duty on diapers, I asked the guests to bring a bag of diapers for entry into a door prize. I think she is now set for the first three months. We also played twin trivia.
One night when the kiddies were in bed, I went a little crazy and jarred peach jam for each of the guests. Perfect breakfast treat.
The invitations are what set the colors and styles. I put two giraffes side by side to go with the theme of twins. And neutral/unisex colors since she is having a boy and girl.
It was fun!
SO lovely! The colors are modern and fantastic, and that breakfast makes me drool. Great job!
love it! what are you designing in these days? love your stuff!
Looks lovely, Darleen, can't wait to meet those babies!
P.S. picked up the papers and the 'L' for your kids letters finally (of course they were out of 'S') – I will let you know when they're done.
Oh my gosh Darleen! It looks amazing! I think I might have just fallen off my chair in astonished awe. The name tags alone are enough to be impressed – but the jars of jam! Woa.
Miss all you guys back there!
how are you so cute! you have so many adorable ideas and so much energy! I'm jealous. Looks like you're just having fun ALL the time. Your family is so lucky.
Ok now your photos seriously should be in Martha Stewart catalogs!!!!
My bestie is pregnant with twins and I am throwing her a shower tonight. I "borrowed" the twin trivia game 🙂 The shower you threw was absolutely gorgeous!
Lovely, my dear, LOVELY!
Amazing! Wish you could throw me one of your showers here. Love the mobiles!
I am soo sad I missed this. The pics look wonderful. I definitely need some of these recipes…Amanda…
Darleen, you are simply amazing. The shower you threw me was the classiest thing I've ever been to. Looks like you're still going strong!

I’d love to use your Twin Trivia for a baby shower I’m hosting! Do you have an answer key?
Like your style!
My daughter is having TWINS and I’d love to print the Twins Trivia at her shower. Do you offer a few template? Thanks
Congratulations to you and your daughter! Unfortunately for this one I did not set up a template for it. I am so sorry!
