Designated note taker

This baby shower idea makes sure your shower's special moments are not forgotten.

The baby shower idea:
A guest is chosen to discreetly document your shower's precious moments. Spoken words, good laughs, touching moments and shower details are all written down. The list is later transcribed in a journal and given to the honoree.

Preparation:
This idea requires a guest with a knack for documenting the precise details of special moments. You'll also need a pen, paper and a journal for transcribing your list.

Variations:
Have the honoree and a couple of close friends recount the special remembrances shortly after the shower. This won't allow for word-for-word accuracy, but the general thoughts and impressions will be documented.

YeahBaby.com thoughts:
The key to pulling off this baby shower idea is for the note taker to be discreet. It could be unsettling for some guests to know they are going on the record!
