My twins are now in middle school, but I recall many times when opening the gifts some parent would only give a gift to one of the twins. Yes, they invite 20 kids and tons of gifts enter our home, but when i have them open the gifts together so i can write a list of the gifts and 18 give to both (invitation says both kids names are having the party) and one kids gets 2 more gifts than the other because some parent chooses to only give one kid a gift with the one kids name on the gift/card those parents are truly crappy!!!! And twin moms never forget.

Why are you have combo birthday parties for your kids? Ewww, I would hate that. You want to save money by combining the party but you want to make sure all the other parents not only buy two gifts for one party but also invite both of your kids to all of their parties. Twin moms annoy me.

Are you serious? Twin same sex kids(2 boys) and all the kids know each other especially in 4th grade, what do you want take all the kids to shadowland at 10 am and then all the same kids at 2 pm to have two parties? You are insane.

Twin mom here. I have joint birthday parties for my twins. I invite boys from each twins class and I never expect each guest to bring a gift for each twin, especially if they are not friends with one of the twins.

But then there are twin moms here (see bolded) stating it is rude to not give gifts for both kids. That 20 kids invited to a twin party should equal 40 gifts on the table. Do you see how having a combination party makes this uncomfortable for people that aren't friends with the other twin? They need to spend $40+ dollars on gifts for one party. And I can tell you from not having twins but inviting them, that moms give a combo gift from "the twins" and don't go to each party with 2 separate presents that each child picked out. So my take-way is that most parents think their twins deserve separate presents but don't give separate gift to other friends. The etiquette is that they are a combo deal when invited to parties but are considered individuals at their own combo party. Irony?

Ignore that twin mom. She is wrong and rude. Bring a gift for the kid or kids your child is closest to and considers to be a friend.

The way she worded it, "only one name on the gift/card" I think she means why not let the one gift you brought be for both kids. At least that's how I read it.
