Bday 'party' for twins- 2 gifts?

[FondantPud]

My child is in class with one of a set of twins. The other twin is in the other class in the year.

They are having a birthday gathering. My child only knows twin 1 from her class. Should we buy two presents one for each child or just the one?

I think it's probably two gifts but I've never had a twin party situation before so don't want to a screw it up

I would buy two gifts.

Yes, you buy a present for each birthday child.

Yes, for any joint birthday parties we always bought for all the host children.

2 gifts but the one for twin 2 could be more of a token gift imo. I'm a twin if that makes a difference!

Parent of twins here. You buy a gift for the twin that invited your child.

When I do joint parties, my twins invite their own friends from their class. The invitation is written from that twin only and there is no obligation to buy two gifts just because it is a joint party.

Thanks. Really helpful.

The invitation comes from both children - it's marked as "Jim and Johns's 6th birthday party" (not real names!) so I guess it's two gifts

Another twin parent here. If the invite is just from one of them (which it probably is if your child is only friends with one) then just buy the one gift. If they’re friends with both, then maybe two presents, but honestly I get so pissed off with the inundation of toys with twin birthdays, that we have had two “no presents please” parties before now! The influx of stuff after a twin party is so enormous that a present won’t be missed, trust me!

It’s weird that they’ve done the invite from both. I deliberately avoid doing that so that people don’t feel obliged to buy two presents.

Perhaps a book voucher each would be better choice ? Though it will just look like a card !

Ps I feel like that with the present pile with just the one child !!

When going to twins parties we tend to give them equal measures in money so it goes towards something they want/need.

Id just put £10.00 in each in a card. It depends on your budget though.
