Diaper Raffle Wording Ideas for Your Baby Shower (Diaper Raffle Tickets Too)
After 21 years of helping people plan baby showers, I can tell you that the diapers-and-wipes shower is one of the most practical and most appreciated shower formats out there - especially for second babies or when the family already has the big items covered. The trick is wording your invitation so guests feel invited, not put on the spot. That's exactly what this page is for.

What is a diapers & wipes shower?
A diapers and wipes shower is a baby shower (or baby sprinkle) where guests are asked to bring diapers and/or wipes in lieu of - or in addition to - traditional gifts. It's incredibly popular for second babies, when the family already has the big items like a stroller and crib, and just needs the essentials replenished.
The key is letting guests know in a warm, fun way - so they don't feel like they're just handing over a package of Pampers. A cute verse or poem on the invitation makes all the difference. Scroll down and take your pick!
Print your verse on a small card tucked inside the invitation, or add it as a section at the bottom of the invite. Keep it short - 4 to 8 lines is the sweet spot. Guests read it, smile, and know exactly what to bring.
Diaper raffle wording ideas 8 verses
A diaper raffle is when guests bring a pack of diapers to be entered into a prize drawing. It's one of the most effective ways to stock up on diapers - and guests love it because they get a chance to win something too. Include one of these verses in the invitation to explain how it works.
Please bring a pack of diapers, any size,
for a chance to win a special prize!
Babies need clean diapers when they do their doodie.
That's why we give them Pampers to wear on their batootie!
Please bring a pack of diapers, any brand or size,
to enter the diaper raffle and win the grand prize!
We can't wait to see you at the shower,
when [mom's name] will be the woman of the hour!
We have just one request - we hope it isn't too hard:
please bring a pack of diapers instead of a card.
You'll be entered to win a grand prize,
and mom and dad will be ready when the baby arrives!
We hope you can make it to the shower
to celebrate the baby of the hour!
However, we have just one small ask -
please make this your number one task:
To help mom and daddy get ahead,
in lieu of a gift, bring diapers instead!
If you do, we'll enter your name
to win a prize in the diaper raffle game!
If you'd like to help from far away,
a $10 gift card will brighten the day!
You'll be entered in our bonus raffle too -
because stocking up on diapers is something they'll need times two!
As guests arrive with diapers, have them write their name on a slip of paper and drop it in a cute bowl or diaper-themed jar. At the end of the shower, draw a winner for a prize. Check out our baby shower prize ideas for great raffle prize inspiration!

Amy's tips for hosting a diapers & wipes shower
Ask guests to bring a variety of diaper sizes - not just newborn. Babies outgrow newborn size in weeks! Sizes 1, 2, and 3 are the most used. You can add a line to the invite: "Any size welcome - variety appreciated!"
Stack the incoming diaper packs into a pyramid or "diaper wall" as guests arrive - it becomes a fun visual centerpiece and gives the mom-to-be a moment to see just how many she's received. Add a banner that says "Happy Diaper Days!" for extra cuteness.
Even if the shower isn't officially a "diaper raffle shower," I always recommend offering a small prize for guests who bring diapers. It motivates people who might otherwise bring a onesie, and the mom-to-be ends up with a much bigger stash.
If you're giving out party favors, add a cute tag that ties back to the diaper theme. Something like "Thanks for helping with diaper duty!" goes a long way. Check out our free printable favor tags - we have some perfect for this!
Frequently asked questions
A diapers and wipes shower is a baby shower where guests are asked to bring diapers and wipes instead of - or alongside - traditional gifts. It's especially popular for second or third babies when the family already has the big items covered. A cute verse on the invitation lets guests know what to bring without feeling awkward about it.
A diaper raffle insert is a small card tucked into the shower invitation explaining that guests who bring a pack of diapers will be entered to win a prize. Keep it short and rhyming for maximum fun. A simple example: "Please bring a pack of diapers, any size, for a chance to win a special prize!" Print it on card stock, cut to size, and slip it into the envelope alongside the invitation.
The key is acknowledging that this is a second baby and that the family is well-equipped - then making the diaper request feel warm rather than transactional. A verse like "[Name] has been so much fun, they decided to have another one! Please bring a little gift from the heart: a pack of diapers to give them a good start!" works perfectly because it's cheerful, explains the situation, and makes the ask feel natural.
Ask guests to bring a variety of sizes - not just newborn. Most parents are surprised by how quickly babies outgrow newborn diapers (sometimes within weeks!). Sizes 1, 2, and 3 get the most use overall. Add a note to the invitation or the raffle insert: "Any size welcome - variety appreciated!" That simple line means the mom-to-be ends up with a stash that lasts for months rather than weeks.
Absolutely - a diaper raffle works at any baby shower, not just a diapers-and-wipes shower. Simply include a raffle insert in the invitations letting guests know that anyone who brings a pack of diapers will be entered to win a prize. It's one of the most popular baby shower additions because guests get something fun out of it too. See our baby shower prize ideas page for great raffle prize inspiration.
The diaper raffle prize should feel a little more special than a regular game prize since the winner brought an extra gift. Great options include a spa gift basket, a wine set, a movie night basket, or a coffee gift basket. Aim to spend $25-40 and display the prize visibly at the shower so guests can see what they're playing for - it dramatically increases how many people bring diapers.
