Making Memories at Your Baby Shower
From the moment you first saw the positive sign on the pregnancy test, to hearing your baby’s heartbeat for the first time. From feeling your baby’s first strong kick, to starting the countdown to the day you hold your baby in your arms.
Pregnancy is filled with so many moments that you, as a mother, get to experience and cherish forever. As the time draws near for your little one’s entrance into the world, you get the opportunity to share a moment or two with your friends and family in celebration of you and your baby.

Divide your guests into two teams and have each team form a line. Then, on a table across the room, place the baby dolls in their diapers and wrap them in the receiving blankets. Be sure to place the wipe on the side of the baby. Then, a guest from each team will run to the table, unwrap the baby doll, take the diaper off, wipe the baby, put the diaper on, re-wrap the baby doll, then run back to their team. Then the next team member will go and do the same thing. The first team to have all guests complete the task and return to the line, wins.
