What is a diaper raffle?
A diaper raffle is an easy baby shower activity that helps new parents get lots of diapers to use for their newborn baby. Guests receive a diaper raffle ticket for every diaper pack (cloth or disposable diapers) they bring to the baby shower or baby sprinkle. The baby shower host draws a ticket for the diaper raffle prize to give to a guest!
New parents are in for a surprise when it comes to the amount of diapers their sweet bundle of joy will be using those first few months of life. While there are so many adorable gifts to give at a baby shower, the most useful gift is a stock pile of diapers. Use these best diaper raffle wording ideas to add to your baby shower invitation and get the party started!
Planning a Diaper Raffle for a Baby Shower
Need some ideas on how to get diapers at a baby shower you are hosting? Most babies use 6 to 10 diapers a day which costs an average of $550 a year according to this report. Diaper raffles have become a fun way for new parents to get a jump on their diapering needs.
How do you play diaper raffle?
How to Play: Start by adding a raffle card to the baby shower invitation. On the raffle card ask guests to bring a pack of diapers in exchange for a chance to win a prize. As guests enter the baby shower they can drop off their pack of diapers and leave their raffle card at the designated location. Place all the raffle cards in a bowl and choose 1-2 winners at random. Announce the winners and their baby shower prizes as you begin the baby shower games.
How do you word a diaper raffle invitation?
STEP 1
Add a simple note at the bottom of your invitation or include a small card inviting guests to bring a pack of diapers. Help keep guests expenses budget friendly by suggesting they bring a pack of diapers instead of buying a card. “You are invited to participate in a diaper raffle held during the baby shower, instead of bringing a card just bring a pack of diapers to play!”
STEP 2
Encourage guests to bring a variety of different sizes. Babies don’t stay in one size for long in those first few weeks. Help the parents prepare with bigger sizes. You can include a line, “Accepting a variety of sizes!”
STEP 3
Include a short description of how to play the diaper raffle game. “Receive a raffle ticket for each package of diapers you bring to the party. All diapers will be given to the new parents, and you will be entered to win a prize at the end of the baby shower!”
