I know this wasn't a baby shower, but I went to a double wedding once - each couple had different styles. The church was done up in grand but neutral wedding decorations, as well as the reception hall - white, lights, greenery. But each couple had their own dining and cake tables, decorated similarly but with personal colors.

Perhaps for the baby shower, you can have a gift table for each mom and a separate cake table for each mom. That way they can still have pictures which are still personal.

Good luck!

Little lotions, body wash, etc are great for prizes. Pretty potted plants are also great centerpieces and prizes too.

Depending on what their themes are, you could go with a general color that comes from the themes. You could also have 2 cakes-1 for ea mommy to be, but they wouldn't have to be too big since you have 2.

There are all kinds of games you can play--ck out this website: http://www.babyshower101.com/baby_shower_games.html

Good luck!

You may have items relating to each of their themes dispersed through the room & have people guess how many of these "clues" they can find for each of the expecting moms (plates, nick-nacks, cakes, napkins, etc). You may want to borrow some of the items the mommies already have to use as "clues". Whoever gets the most clues assigned to the right mommy wins a prize. You may even get some unique answers about things in your own home that weren't actually intended to be "clues". Don't forget to hide clues in odd places too (yard decor, in the bathroom, etc.)

How sweet of you, for starters! I went to a fabulous baby shower and here are some things I remember. Some games I have seen: Guess The Baby Food: remove baby food labels from about 5 jars and have everyone taste and guess, use the plastic baby spoons, and your moms2be can take them home and wash them. Dress the Stuffed Animal: teams of two, each with a hand behind their back, dress and diaper a stuffed animal, which the moms can then also take home. Pass The Piggy Banks: Have all guests bring change for the banks and some advice, get them to write the advice on a little card (you can decorate them before the party) when they arrive, then at some point, when everyone is sitting down together, pass the banks and have the guests read their advice and put money in. Drawing on Your Head: I forgot what you are supposed to draw, but perhaps it is supposed to be a baby, but you give everyone a paper plate and pencil, they put the plate on their head and draw. Very funny. Prizes were all baby related stuff and the hostess told us that they were all to go to the mom at the end, and I actually thought that was a pretty good idea. Things like a package of little hangars, baby soap, pacifiers, other little basics, were all wrapped, so each winner got to open them. Also, a package of onesies was used for the dressing the animals game, for instance. The mom to B gave cute containers of bath salts for a party favor, tied with cute ribbon, all very adorable. Best of luck and congratulations to all of you!!!

I don't know if that is the best idea. I know for my baby showers I did not want to share my day with another mom. If if is an issue for saving money then I say do it but if not then I would not recommend it. But everyone is different. Talk to their friends and see if they think the moms would be willing to share their baby shower with someone else.
