Baby Shower Diaper Raffle

The raffle can be for 2 wine glasses and a bottle of wine or something that someone donates that is appealing to your baby shower guests. Each person that brings the packages of diapers are entered into a raffle where they can win the prize. This is a real easy baby shower game that will supply the new parents with tons of needed diaper supplies. Be sure to list what type of diapers you want (for newborns) so they don’t purchase the wrong ones.
