For lilsugar's last week of extensive baby shower coverage, we're celebrating the birth of multiples! While twosomes seem to be more normal these days, celebrating their arrival should be anything but common.

The invited guests are happily fed and enjoying the lovely décor while sipping away on their iced teas. Gather the crew into the main room to play a round of games before opening the gifts for the mama-to-be. Download our multiple mania game that will have guests guessing at birth stats, names and other fun baby details. Though nobody will be announced a winner on the spot, everyone will have a laugh during the activity.

We've been sprinkling you with ideas of baby showers all month but what's more fun than celebrating one baby-to-be? Celebrating two or three! Moms expecting twins often need a double dose before the babes arrive. Prepping the mama-to-be with twice the good wishes, onesies and diapers will give her a jump start on the juggling act she's about to perform. Not wanting to create a circus for her before the show, we used calm, muted colors to create a natural and soothing surrounding for this soiree.
Bring an aviary touch to the shower and invite the whole gaggle of ladies to celebrate the mom-to-be. But, a lengthy guest list and two impending babies to celebrate doesn't mean the bank will be broken. For this shower, it's all about dividing and conquering. Stay tuned this week to see how we will create a charming setting, tasty dishes and fabulous favors for this birdy bash. To get the party started, we've created a winsome downloadable invite for hosts to send out to their guests. To download them, read more

We’re continuing to celebrate mamas-to-be this month with our extensive baby shower planning guides. This week, we fete the mama and newborn who were not ready to be the centers of attention before the birth with a sip and see shower.

Nothing is sweeter than a family celebrating their new addition, so, inspired by the beautiful dessert tables created by Amy Atlas Events, I created a candy bar filled with tasty treats in the same orange and blue color scheme as our invitations. I sought out gummy bears, licorice sticks, orange slices and more to help carry our color theme through to the very end of the soiree. To further tie the favors to our "sip and see" theme, we placed empty sippy cups on the table and offered guests the opportunity to fill them with their favorite sweets on their exit. We included a little tag on each cup, thanking the guests for attending the event.

We’re continuing to celebrate mamas-to-be this month with our extensive baby shower planning guides. This week, we fete the mama and newborn who were not ready to be the centers of attention before the birth with a co-ed sip and see shower.

With an open house setting for our shower, we bypass traditional shower games in favor of one that will interest both the guys and girls in attendance, and be played throughout the day. When guests enter the home, ask them to fill out our fill-in-the blank "How Well Do You Know Baby" card (you can download it for free) and place it on a tray or in a basket. Assign one person to go through the cards every hour to declare a winner. Be sure to have some fun, gender-neutral prizes available for the lucky attendees who know all the gritty details about the guests of honor. Depending on the crowd, you can also turn the game into a battle of the sexes.
