I am going to a twin boy 2nd birthday tomorrow and I was going to get one card for both boys "dear x and y. Happy birthday blah blah blah". Is it ok to get one card or should I get a card for each boy? I will get two gifts...

Mmm, which end of the card does each child get to hold?

Sorry, but this is one thing that really annoys me about the way my twins have previously been treated.

If you would normally give 1/2 a card to a singleton, go ahead.

They are two children, celebrating two birthdays.

I always give two cards. Who wants half a birthday card?

[laridae]

I would ditch the card - they are 2, they probably don't care and can't read it anyway

[roses99]

Treat them like you would any other individual children.

Get a card each or no cards at all. Good that you're getting two presents, though

REALLY? its 2 different kids a card each


im sorry i cant even see how this is a question!

Just get one. When they're dividing up their special things later in life, they can rip it in half. That works.

I am going to respond as if it is a legitimate question.

My girls just celebrated their 1st birthday and I love go keep memory boxes, how do I split that card into 3 for each of their boxes..... 3 children, 3 cards.

50% of the cards they received were a combined, now it is me that has to colour copy them so the each have a copy. Or am I just complaining?

At least the twins could tear them apart Ms CP - Smoker's triplets find it a bit harder to break into three

In all seriousness - a card each OP. I'm an oddity in twin parents, and love shared gifts (the boys got a big science kit this birthday, and some lego board games) - but at 2, seperate presents are the most appropriate. Thank you for asking though, the more people that understand that multiples are individuals as well as having a unique link to each other, the better Much less frustration on both sides

Definitely card each. Kmart have a fairly decent range for $1 a card, cheap and easy.
