Im in greater London - where on earth can I find good Twin Birthday cards?
My boys will be turning one soon...
I've been to 'Birthdays' No twin cards!
'Card Factory' No twin cards! I've looked online and the choices are just ugly!
What did you do? Did you find the choices lacking?
TIA

Urm, treat them as individuals and give them separate birthday cards? That's what we do for our twins, anyway. Happy birthday to your boys.

I agree, definitely two cards for two boys.

Once they're old enough to notice, two cakes too!

Well I was hoping for a twin card...
But I guess I'll have to get two seperate...
Thanks

I think two cards for two children. I was (unreasonably) hurt when a couple of relatives sent our girls a joint birthday card. If you had two non twin siblings with the same birthday, you wouldn't send them one joint card, would you?

my ds3 has friends who are twins and when he goes to their birthday parties he always take a card and present for each twin, i think its important for them to be recognised as two seperate people.

if you really want a 'twin' card you could just make them one? i guess they wont mind when little but as they get older i would imagine they would like a card each? :)

You could always go to moonpig or similar if you really want a twin card

Thanks for the replies, I bought one large card in the end. I do like to treat them as individuals but at 1 I kind of wanted to have a more twin birthday Smile
I think next birthday will be separate cards though. Thanks

Probably doesn't matter when they are 1, because they won't remember it - but please, please, a card each when they are old enough to remember.

(I speak as a twin who struggled through childhood to forge my own identity due to adults who were determined to lump us both together all the time and do the whole "twin" thing!)
