Ideas for my twins Birthday party?

Ideas for a 6th birthday party for twins (boy/girl)?

  • I have boy/girl twins turning 6 this May and am having a hard time coming up with a gender-neutral theme. To cut down on costs, we'd like to have it at our house. Last year, I threw them a carnival-themed party at our house that will be hard to top (fun-wise) but we need to save $$ this year. Any thoughts/ideas would be appreciated. Thanks!

  • Answer:

    I have twin boys who are turning 11 in May. The first thing I would suggest is having separate parties. I have been doing that for my boys since they were 5. Birthdays are supposed to be that 1 day where its all about you, not yet another thing you have to share. Next, kids don't need lavish parties. They can often be way too over-stimulating and exhausting. So I would keep it simple. You don't need to impress anyone. Also, having the party at home isn't always cheaper once you factor in costs for decorating, activities, and clean-up. I've held birthday parties at the YMCA (sports party: 1 hr of games and sports followed by 1 hr of time in party room to do cake and gifts), and swimming parties at the community centre and they were pretty cheap. The main way that I have saved money is by cutting out the loot bag or at least cutting it down. Even when you go to the dollar store, it doesn't take much for those loot bags to end up costing $10-15 per child. For 1 of my son's last b-day parties, I got each child a small lego kit (think it was 24 pieces), they were on sale for $4, I gift-wrapped them and the kids loved them, and it wasn't just dollar store crap that was going to go in the garbage. If you are going to do a joint party, some gender neutral themes I can think of are: beach, or garden (flowers for the girls, bugs for the boys)... idk u know what they are interested in... my neice just turned 4, and she's very girly but she wanted a pirate theme.

This might be a bit mature for them but it would surely be cheap and easy; a glow party. Take all of the junk out of your garage and replace the lights with black lights, get white shredded paper and put it all over the floor so it glows. Then you can get 1 liter bottles, fill them with water then drop high liters in them, then you can get glow in the dark rings. Then they throw the rings on the bottle, you could also do glow in the dark bean bags.One more game you could play would be pop the balloon with glow balloons. Then hand out TONS of glow sticks, kids love glow sticks :) After you give out the glow sticks you could do simon says, however you would have to make sure each kid has a glow stick on both legs and arms. Thats all i got :) hope it helps!

If they are into it,do a Dora and Diego party. Dora and Diego are cousins and that match but at the same time,lets them have a theme for themselves. Get the decorations at Wal-Mart or Hobby Lobby. Or you could do Sponge-Bob. I think thats gender neutral. They have those decorations at Wal-Mart. Or you could to a Raggedy Ann and Raggedy Andy. I dont know if you could find decorations for that though lol
