I
am a mom of boy-girl twins and an older singleton. Birthdays are a
big deal around our house to begin with, and this was of course magnified
with the arrival of the twins. I was so disappointed when their first
birthday came and I couldn’t find any nice Invitations or Thank
You Cards to send out which addressed the “specialness”
of twins. The wording on regular invitations was all wrong: I didn’t
need “I”, I needed “We”!
And TWO lines for names please! Equally frustrating
was the lack of cards to give a sweet little three and a half year
old who suddenly had to share everything in her whole world with not
one, but two siblings. There was nothing to offer her to let her know
she was still just as special as her new brother and sister.
So I
went to the arts and crafts store and made my own. Not what a mom
of one year old twins has time to do, but there was just so little
choice! The idea for Two by Two and More! was born.
As this
business grows, we hope to add more variety to the Birthday
Invitations, Christening
Invitations, and Thank
You cards, and plan on providing coordinated party decorations
as well. In addition, we intend on adding a selection of cards, items
and hopefully ideas to help the older child or children know how special
they still are.
Please
feel free to express thoughts, comments or critiques that you may
have of our products at our customer service
email location, or by regular mail. We want to expand and accommodate
other families with multiples, and your thoughts will help us to do
that.
Enjoy
them while they are young, take lots of pictures and when you hit
a rough spot, remember this bit of wisdom that was passed on to me.
Before you know it, they will be busy running away from you and into
their own lives, and you will long for just one more day to hold them
in your arms and rock them to sleep one last time.
