Have I mentioned yet that I’m an auntie now? If I haven’t, it must be because I’m too busy shouting it out the windows and blabbing it to casual passers-by. I’m so, so excited!

My sister’s twins, a girl A and a boy K, will be just about seven months old when I get married.

I’m sure it’s not hard to guess my first thought on this: Clearly they need matching outfits.

Problem #1: It is impossible to find dressy clothes for baby boys.

Why is this? Do clothing manufacturers really think parents take their baby girls to fancy events but leave their boys behind???

Okay, okay, so it was easy to find white christening outfits and velvet wintertime dressy outfits. But how was that going to help me for a September wedding?

But eventually I came up with a few options that I thought might work:

Cute (and it can be monogrammed!), but I wasn’t sure where to find a matching green gingham dress for A.

But at $78 for that boy’s shortall, this was starting to seem a bit pricey.

But of course, these were similarly expensive. And perhaps too sailboat-y?

Problem #2: My sister and my mom hated the idea of matching outfits. They promptly outvoted me.

Okay, so no matching outfits. No problem. The good thing about babies is that they look cute in whatever they wear.

My mom went on a shopping trip and came home with these two things for K:

But we still needed to find some pants. (Trust me, K is much happier when fully dressed.)

And she brought home this dress for A:

But when we started to finalize what everyone else was going to wear, we realized we had another problem.

Problem #3: Somehow the wedding became more formal than we were originally contemplating. I’m still not sure how this happened! But if everyone else was going to dress up, clearly my favorite twins should have fancy outfits too. Right?

So I looked a little harder and came up with the following:

Um, with the amount of thought put into this, can you already tell we’re going to spoil those twins??

I can’t wait to see them all dressed up!

Who are you excited to see dressed up at your wedding?
