How to Host a Diaper Raffle: Fun, Practical, and Perfect for Your Baby Shower 🎟️

Planning a baby shower? A diaper raffle is the perfect way to add a fun and practical twist to the celebration! Not only does it engage guests, but it also helps the parents-to-be stock up on one of the most essential baby items: diapers. At Villie, we’re all about helping you create meaningful, memorable events, and a diaper raffle is an easy addition that everyone will love.

Here’s everything you need to know about hosting a diaper raffle—from what it is to how to make it a hit!

‍

What is a Diaper Raffle?

‍

A diaper raffle is a simple yet exciting baby shower game that encourages guests to bring packages of diapers as their "entry ticket." For each pack they bring, they get a raffle ticket for a chance to win a prize.

It’s a win-win: the parents get a generous stash of diapers, and guests enjoy a little friendly competition with the promise of a fun reward!

‍

How to Set Up a Diaper Raffle

‍

Hosting a diaper raffle is easy and takes just a few steps:

‍

1. Include Raffle Info in Invitations

‍

When sending out baby shower invitations, include a note about the diaper raffle. Keep it simple, like:

"Bring a pack of diapers (any size) to enter our diaper raffle and win an amazing prize!"

This ensures guests know what to expect and how to participate.

‍

2. Create a Diaper Raffle Station

‍

Set up a designated area at the shower where guests can drop off their diapers and pick up raffle tickets. Decorate the station with a cute sign that explains the raffle and displays the prize.

Ideas for signs:

• “Drop Your Diapers Here!”
• “Thanks for Helping Us Stock Up—Grab Your Ticket!”

‍

3. Provide Raffle Tickets

‍

Offer one raffle ticket for each pack of diapers a guest brings. Printable tickets or generic rolls of raffle tickets work great! Make sure you have plenty on hand to accommodate guests.

‍

4. Pick a Desirable Prize

‍

Choose a prize that will encourage participation. Popular ideas include:

• Gift cards (restaurants, coffee shops, or online stores)
• Spa or self-care baskets
• Gourmet food or wine baskets
• Fun gadgets, like an air fryer or wireless earbuds

‍

5. Draw the Winner

‍

Toward the end of the shower, gather everyone for the big moment. Draw a winning ticket, announce the winner, and present the prize with a bit of fanfare!

‍

Why a Diaper Raffle is a Great Idea

A diaper raffle isn’t just fun—it’s also practical! Here’s why it’s a hit:

• Practical Gifts: Diapers are a must-have for any parent. A diaper raffle ensures the parents-to-be receive a substantial supply, reducing stress and expenses.

‍

Tips for a Successful Diaper Raffle

‍

Make your diaper raffle even more memorable with these tips:

• Encourage Size Variety: Babies grow fast! Ask guests to bring diapers in a mix of sizes so the parents are prepared for every stage.
• Be Clear with Instructions: Make sure the invitation and signage at the shower clearly explain how the raffle works. Guests should know exactly where to drop diapers and collect tickets.
• Say Thanks: Have thank-you notes or small tokens ready for participants to show your appreciation. It’s a thoughtful way to acknowledge their generosity.
