Open House/Shower
Hi there! First let me say how blessed these kids and your SIL is to have you. I can only imagine how welcome and loved they will feel. You said 2 BABIES correct? I have always liked the "open house" idea. It can be family and friends just coming over to welcome the new additions to the family very informal BBQ type of event. In the invite make sure to put the ages of the babies so people know what ages to buy for. If you are going for the more traditional baby shower you may want to put in the invite that it is to welcome(babies names) to their new home. You might ask your SIL if she wants to register or she might due that if they have an adoption party. One final thing to think about if they are babies the adjustment will be big but shouldn't take too long, I see no problem with them being around a bunch of people. If they are older the adjustment might be hard at first and you wouldn't want to throw everything at them at once this is fo course if you include the babies in the event. Also ask your SIL what she had in mind, if she has waited a long time to be a mom she may have an ideal way to welcome her new babies. Some foster/adopt parents don't want traditional showers and things until they know for sure that the kids are staying forever.
Hope I've helped
