Are you planning a baby shower and looking for twin baby shower games that your guests will actually enjoy? I’ve got what you need as twin baby shower hosts in this blog post and printables including a twin baby shower planner!
Why Twin Baby Shower Games?
Let’s be honest, not everyone likes baby shower games, as an introvert, I surely haven’t in the past.
However, I do like the ones that I don’t have to get up and do embarrassing things with or in front of people, especially those I don’t know.
So why would someone like me be excited about Twin Baby Shower games?
They can be a great activity when done well and one that even introverts like myself enjoy. It’s especially fun to have twin specific baby shower games because that’s more rare than regular games which will delight your guests!
Without baby shower games, the baby shower ends up being eating, talking a bit, then opening presents. Which, is great, but having another fun activity or many, makes it more worthwhile for everyone involved.
Why Twin-Specific Games?
The biggest reason behind having twin-specific baby shower games is that they are more unique. I’m sure most of your baby shower guests have already played the baby food game where you taste test baby food and try to figure out what each one is. That’s great but generic.
Having a twin specific baby shower game such as twin trivia questions where you get to take your best guess on questions about twins and actually learn something, that’s more unique and more fun.
Twin parents get asked A LOT of questions about twins and games like twin triviahelp answer some of those questions once the answers are read aloud from the answer key, which takes some pressure off the expectant twin mama!
Twin Baby Shower Games
There are a lot of fun twin baby shower games including:
- Twin Trivia Questions and Answers
- Twin Word Scramble
- All the Words You Can Make from Twin Pregnancy,
- Think Quick: Twin Baby Shower Version
- All the Words You Can Make from Twin Babies
- Twin Scattegories
- Selfie Scavenger Hunt
- And more!
All of the above and more are fun games you can play at a Twin Baby Shower that are part of my printable Twin Baby Shower Games you can purchase for instant download. The printable includes 15 different baby shower games you can print out and game answers so you aren’t left scrambling! You can print them at home on regular printer paper or get some quality cardstock from your local craft store, though that’s optional of course!
Having printable baby shower games is great if an extra guest shows up that you weren’t expecting you can just print another copy or if you’re planning last minute you don’t need to wait for delivery, they’re available right now!
The Twin Baby Shower Games are for personal use only, not for resale. Make as many copies as you need for all of your baby shower guests.
An extra thing to remember is having games wherein twin mama gets to sit down most of the time is very helpful. Baby showers are typically held later in pregnancy and carrying twins gets extremely uncomfortable past 26 weeks or so, when it’s common to be measuring full term.
If you desire, you can also include a small prize for the winner of the different games at the end of the baby shower and a larger prize for the guest with the most correct answers overall!
You could also include some baby shower party favors but those really aren’t necessary, in my opinion.

Twin Baby Shower Theme
In addition to Twin Baby Shower Games, having a Twin Baby Shower Theme is fun to do as well!
Sure, you could just have the generic ‘it’s a boy’ or ‘it’s a girl’ or in this case, the plural of each or one or the other, but a fun twin baby shower theme makes it more unique!
Favorite twin baby shower ideas:
- Double Trouble
- Two Peas in a Pod
- Thing 1 and Thing 2 (Dr. Seuss)
Or even just taking a basic theme and doubling it in a sense
- Two Little Monkeys
- 2 Ducklings following Mama Duckling
- Safari Animal Theme featuring a Giraffe and Elephant

When to Have a Twin Baby Shower
As you may expect, your guest of honor is going to get bigger, more uncomfortable, and may deliver sooner rather than later due to carrying twin babies!!
Depending on the type of twins, health of twin mama, and availability, I’d suggest having the twin baby shower no later than 32 weeks pregnant. For me, by the time I was 33 weeks pregnant I was SO uncomfortable and being in a social situation was a bummer if I needed to stand up for a long period of time or just not wallow in the pain and misery I was in.
That sounds horrible, I understand, but just being completely honest.
As twin mams it’s common to start measuring full term by the time we’re around 26 weeks along. If you’ve been pregnant before you may know how it feels to be 40 weeks pregnant and how uncomfortable that is. Just imagine going several weeks further than that!!! By the time I delivered my twins at 36 weeks along, I would have been measuring well past 50 weeks pregnant, if that were a thing!
All of that said, I suggest having the twin baby shower between 26 weeks and 32 weeks along.
This will also help ease twin mama’s anxiety of getting everything ready before the twins are born since it’s common for them to be born between 33-37 weeks, depending on the type of twins and overall health of twins and mama.
