Diaper party RSVP

Friends say which diaper size they'll bring, so the stash covers the first year.

What's inside

Friends who are in claim a diaper size, and each size closes once it has its boxes, so the parents don't end up with forty packs of newborn. Friends who can't come get their own goodbye.

    Best advice for a new dad, in one line

Throwing a diaper party

A diaper party, sometimes called a dad shower, is a get-together for the father-to-be where the entry ticket is a box of diapers. It usually happens in the last two months before the due date, often alongside the baby shower.

Newborn diapers fit for only a few weeks, and babies spend months in sizes 1 to 3. Fewer places on newborn and more on the bigger sizes gives the parents a stash that lasts.

Ask the parents which brand they want before you send the link and name it in the intro. Some prefer one for sensitive skin, and nobody wants to return twenty boxes.

The burger answers are your shopping list and the friends count is your headcount. Pin the one-line dad advice to a wall at the party. For the parents-to-be together, there's the baby shower RSVP.

Diaper party questions

What happens when a size is taken?

It shows as full and can't be picked, so the next friend brings a size that's still needed. Change the number of boxes per size to suit your group. Once every size is full, a friend who still wants to come can't pick yes, so raise the box count on size 2 or 3, which babies wear for months.

Can friends bring wipes instead?

Yes. Add “Wipes” as another option with its own number of places, and it fills like the sizes do. Edit the thank-you line too. It repeats the chosen size, so a friend on wipes would read box of Wipes diapers. Something like Bring your box of supplies fits every option.

Is a diaper party only for dads?

No. Call it a couple's shower or a friends' night; the size list works for any group stocking up the nursery. For a mixed crowd, swap the burger question for a food choice that suits everyone, and edit the end screens, which talk about Marcus and the grill. Everything else stays the same.
