16 Creative Diaper Raffle Wording Ideas to Help You Stockpile Diapers
Planning a diaper raffle but not sure how to tell everyone about it? Don’t panic — you’re in the right place. In this guide, we’ll explain what a diaper raffle is, how to introduce the game to your guests, and how to make the announcement fun and inviting. We’ll even provide some diaper raffle wording that you can use word for word or just be inspired by!
What Is a Diaper Raffle?
A diaper raffle is a fun game often played at baby showers or baby sprinkles. The party guests can choose to enter a raffle, and if they’d like to, they must bring along a pack of diapers. When they arrive, guests hand over the diapers and get a raffle ticket in exchange. The idea is that the parents-to-be get plenty of something they’ll need — diapers!
The diaper raffle prize can be anything, but to encourage the most donations, it’s best to make it something desirable — like a gift card, bottle of wine, or gift basket. You don’t have to spend a lot of money, and you could even DIY your own gift or make it a handmade gift voucher for a spa experience or a coffee date together.
How to Introduce Your Diaper Raffle
Once you’ve decided to host a diaper raffle, you need to let your guests know. This kind of game doesn’t happen at every baby shower and you’ll want guests to be prepared, so it’s best to let them know somewhere on the baby shower invitations. Here’s how to spread the word about the raffle.
1. Confirm the Diaper Raffle Entry Rules
It might be a popular baby shower game, but diaper raffle rules can vary depending on the host and what the parents-to-be have requested. Decide what your rules are first, so you can clearly explain them on the invitation.
Ask the parents-to-be if they need a particular brand of diapers or if they would appreciate any specific sizes. If they’re using reusable diapers, encourage guests to make a monetary donation toward the cost of building up a supply in exchange for a raffle ticket. For parents using disposable diapers, decide whether a guest receives one raffle ticket per pack of diapers donated or one raffle ticket in total.
2. Find the Perfect Baby Shower Invitations
Design: Tennie & Co
If you haven’t already handed out the baby shower invites, now is the ideal time to send them. At Greenvelope, we have lots of beautiful baby shower invitations in every style and for every baby shower theme — whether you want florals, baby animals, or something bold and retro like this bright floral-themed invite.
Each design can be customized, so you can adjust the layout, fonts, and colors to make the invite as unique as the parents-to-be. Add in your own personal wording, and you have an invite that feels truly special.
3. Add Some Diaper Raffle Wording to Your Invites
Let your party guests know that there’s a fun baby shower activity in store if they bring along a pack of diapers. Include some humorous wording, or keep it nice and straightforward so they know what to expect.
It’s also a good idea to give guests an idea of how the process works. You can include this directly on the baby shower invite — we have some diaper raffle wording ideas below to help you out.
Have you already sent out the official invites? No problem! You can always send another digital invitation, or consider sending a dedicated diaper raffle invitation that introduces the idea and explains how to get involved.
