27 weeks: freebies and discounts

White House Greetings

This one isn't twin-specific (any parent of a newborn can do this), but as of this writing it would get you a "personalized" greeting from a dad of twins for your newborn twins. Send your twins names, birthdate and your address to the White House and you should receive an official congratulatory card from the President (a nice keepsake for baby's scrapbooks).

Send the request to:

The White House
Greeting Office Room 39
Washington D.C. 20500
