Daughter attending bday party for twins

[bear74]

I am a new mom of twins and my girls are 2 days before christmas. Not sure how that will work for parties in the future

I would definitely send two gifts. My bday party budget is $10-15, so I think you can do two gifts and stay within budget. So many toys are on clearance at any given time. I rarely spend more than $10 for gifts.

Yes each child gets thier own gift, no questions ask and I would never think otherwise unless they were family and they asked for a joint gift. However I think for not knowing the two girls I'd go with two $10 gift cards. I will admit when my two children are invited to a party together I normally put the gift fo the one child together from both my kids. I do spend more, just place it all in the same bag.

I'm the odd parent that enjoys bday parties, I think its great to invite the whole class - Everyone's involved and its a great way to meet new families. For us our kids are still young and new to school so maybe this will get old.

Events or special days were awesome when I got older so I'm sure once that time comes we'll do that as well.

I think two gifts might be best unless it's definatley a sharable gift and something both of them really wants. Even with board games there is a possibility that the game will be something one enjoys but not the other making it much more a gift for the one. I will say though that some of my kid's favorite gifts are things like Mcdonalds gift cards, movie passes stuff like that that really isn't too expensive. To the pp who mentioned that if money was tight a parent might not be able to afford to pay for others in the family and then they woulden't get to use thier gift. I can see that, but the year that happened to us it worked out. My daughter recieved a smal McD's GC and on her own suggested she take her siblings to lunch. I told her it was her gift and she didn't have to do that we would just wait until payday when I could pay for them, but she didn't want to do that. She said she felt like a grown up paying for everyone so all three of them got kids meals and spent over an hour playing in the play place and it was absolutley my daughters favorite gift because she got to do that and have time to play with her siblings.

as a mom of twins - I'm glad OP you have decided on 1 gift for each.

I have six year old twin girls. At their last birthday party, they mostly received individual gifts but their favorite gift was a joint gift. It was a bag of art supplies - paper, pencils, crayons, glitter, glue, markers, etc...

I personally think either is fine as long as a joint gift is shareable. It's really the thought that counts. I know my girls were just excited for an opportunity to play with their friends.
