Wording a Diaper Raffle on Baby Shower Invites

Diapers are a staple item for new parents.

For parents of infants and toddlers, diapers are a highly valued resource. A baby uses several diapers each day, and the cumulative expense over the first year or two can be substantial. Hosting a diaper raffle at a baby shower serves both a practical purpose and adds an element of fun. It gives attendees an opportunity to win a prize while also helping the new parent accumulate a stock of diapers. To ensure guests understand the raffle and what they should bring, the invitation needs to convey the necessary details.

Step 1

Put a simple sentence at the bottom of the invitation: "Guests are invited to bring a package of diapers to the shower in order to participate in a raffle."

Step 2

Insert a request for various diaper sizes, such as "All sizes are welcome."

Step 3

If the invitation has room, provide an explanation of the raffle. State the rules, for instance: "For every pack of diapers brought, the guest will receive one raffle ticket. The diapers collected will go to the new parents. The raffle tickets will be put into a hat to be randomly selected for a prize."

Step 4

For a playful element, add a short rhyme to the invitation. For example: "If you can bring a diaper pack donation, you will help out Jack and Jill's little creation. And if you provide it in any baby size, you get a chance to win a great prize!"
