How to Word a Double Baby Shower Invitation (5 Steps)
Start the invitation by immediately letting guests know they are being invited to a double baby shower. A Noah's Ark 'two by two' theme will work perfectly and be very cute, as well. Use very clear wording to communicate the double event, such as 'You're invited to celebrate with Lisa and Jane, as they are both expecting!' Use the family last name, if it is the same for both babies, or list all of the expecting parents' names.
Reiterate that the shower is for two expecting moms more than once in the invitation. For example, on the inside you can add a verse such as, 'Bottles, diapers and laundry in a heap... Lisa and Jane will soon have no sleep!'
Inform guests of the gender of both babies, if known. For example, 'Oh boy! Oh boy! Lisa and Jane are both having boys! We're 'expecting' you to join us!'
Opt for a unified cover with separate inside information. For example, the front can say, 'Two bundles of joy are on their way, so please reserve this special day.' Then, use each of the inside panels of the invitation to give separate details. For example, on the left side you could write 'Tea parties, baby dolls and dress up clothes, Jane's having a girl who'll wear ribbons and bows!' On the right side, you could say 'Trains, motorcycles and automobiles, Lisa's having a boy who'll love cool toys with wheels!' The lower half of both panels can share the day, time and RSVP information for the shower.
Write out all of the information you'd like to include on the invitation, including registry information for both mothers, if available. If you only have registry information for one mother, do not include it. Everything has to be treated equally for both. Once you have the invitation written in a way that you like, order or print the actual invitations.

How to Organize a Home Business Expo (6 Steps)
Your very first step is to decide on the place you will hold the event in. To do this you'll need to be able to hold about 15 vendors and tables of at least 6 ft long. Consider your other factors- are you offering refreshments? Will you need a rest room? How long is the event?
Start contacting your vendors next. Go directly to a local rep and let them know you are showcasing home businesses that moms can do in the area and want them to be included. Hand out a form with all the information available about the event specifics including the vendors cost and what is being supplied in return.
Begin your advertising. Write your own press release if you can or call the paper and tell them what your doing. Make flyers and pass them around town. Consider giving them out at PTA events and other places that cater to women and mothers. Inform local radio and television stations.
Collect the payments paid by the vendors who sign up and keep a ledger of who has paid. Detail all of your expenses for room rental, advertising, food etc and pay yourself back as your payments come in. Always keep in mind that you may need cash for something unexpected.
Hang out your sign and have your business expo. You can enjoy meeting the women business owners in your own back yard and know that you've opened the door to new home businesses to your communities women.
Follow up your job fair by sending thank you cards and questionnaires. File everything away in a file for next year!
