Diaper Raffle
By the YeahBaby.com editorial staff

Both mother and baby shower guests win when you raffle off a gourmet food gift basket.

The Idea:
A basket filled with gourmet foods is prepared, which will be used as a raffle for your upcoming baby shower. Guests will "buy" raffle tickets by bringing baby diapers and wipes to be given to the mother. For every diaper given by a guest, they'll receive one chance for winning the gift basket!

Preparation:
Prepare a basket of salami, gourmet cheeses, crackers, jams, marmalades, wines, and a wine key. Indicate on invitations that guests can buy into the raffle by bringing baby diapers. Go to an office supply store to pick up pull-apart tickets.

Variations:
Get creative with the contents of the gift basket. Try:
• Italian food gift basket
• Baby food gift basket
• Hawaiian gift basket
• Chocolate gift basket

Thoughts:
We love this idea because mom gets some help stocking up on expensive baby diapers, and guests get to participate in a fun raffle. This 'baby shower diaper raffle' idea is especially perfect for office baby showers. Perhaps the employer will supply the gift basket.
