Haven't found any "OMG adorable!" twin invites. LOL I showed my mom and sisters my favorite, and they didn't like it too much. Other ideas of where to search?

My cousins and I designed one ourselves. When they asked me what kind of theme I wanted, I told them to just use the nursery for inspiration. So, they came up with a little rhyme about a baby "blooming" and then I designed the layout with a cherry blossom branch on the computer and we printed them out at home with our photo printer.
Sorry, I'm not much help on recommendations. But, I usually find that when you have a particular idea it's more difficult to find something than to just DIY. So, if there's someone creative on your side, they may be able to DIY it for you.
Not sure on a theme yet. I'm considering decorating the nursery w/ a jungle theme, and my sisters wanted to have that for the shower. I'm not against it, but searching for ideas online, I found the cutest clothesline idea for the centerpieces (displaying outfits). I found a cute invite w/ clothes hanging on a clothesline, but they aren't too fond of it... so now I'm 2nd guessing myself.
Justine - so cute!

"That Invitation Place" is where I got my invites for both baby showers. They have a shop in the Sunset area. If you go to their website www.invitationplace.com you can get their information (the website does not have everything they have in the store). They are extremely reasonably priced too; a wide range of prices and you avoid any shipping costs. We actually had a clothesline theme for Evan's shower 2 years ago. If you want to see any pictures let me know.

I think RNJackie's theme was the clothesline! I remember seeing pics of her shower on fb
I'm with Adri on the DIY. When I got married I searched high and low for what I wanted and ended up making it myself. THere are tons of UTube videos that help you with certain techniques so its pretty easy even if crafting is not your hobby. Good luck!
PS: I understand your need to get involved. I'm totally OCD and will definitely be giving directions for my shower! LOL!

My friend is doing a jungle theme for her little boy and these were her invites: https://www.tinyprints.com/product/11995/baby_shower_invitations_monkeying_around.html#tabs
How cute would that be with 2 monkeys?!
tinyprints.com
and i thought you weren't throwing your shower!! someone else should be picking them out for you ;-)
Adri - that is so cute! I looked around, but didn't see one w/ 2 monkeys.
Jen - I'm a little OCD, and sometimes mine and my sisters' "tastes" clash. LOL

Jen is right, my cousin Jackie had a clothesline theme and it was super cute. There's an old fb album in my profile with pics
