Diaper raffle - WWJ12D? (update in OP)

in July 2012 Moms

I'm going to a baby shower today and I was "invited" to bring size 4 diapers for a raffle. Normally I hate that kind of thing and just bring my regular present (I spend enough money on diapers, thank you). But at this girl's bridal shower, they did a "bring a piece of cookware for a raffle" and I was the only person who didn't. The hostess made a big deal out of "Oh, sorry, you can't play this game."

Should I buck up and bring the diapers?

Update: I brought the dumb diapers. And I didn't win the raffle. Boo.

    This is ridiculous. If you want to participate but a small thing if generic diapers. No box of pampers. I also hate these raffles. Sooo I have to buy you a gift [which I usually spend 50100 on] then I have to buy a box of diapers? Hard pass.

    IKR? I just have to see what's stronger, peer pressure or my principles, lol. What kills me is that "size 4" was written into the invitation, so they staggered out the sizes. That's too much thought for a diaper raffle.

    No. Don't do it. Then maybe the host will get the hint of how tacky it is. If she makes a big deal out of it you can always say you thought it was optional and decided to spend the extra money on the actual gift. Or just say nothing and know that you aren't a tacky person.

    Under normal circumstances, this would not bother me. In light of past experience and the wording, I would either not attend or buy store brand.

    Moneys tight right now so I definitely get where your coming from! If money was no object tho I would play along and bring the diapers and be happy.

    I guess you kind of just have to suck it up and buy a small pack.

    At my wedding shower, and most in my family, they did a wishing well. Is that considered tacky too? People were asked to bring small kitchen type gadget to fill the wishing well. I thought it was cute but now after being on the bump I'm thinking maybe it was tacky too!

    I might bring the teeniest, tiniest bag of diapers I could find.  10 diapers?  OK!

    Am I the only person in the world who doesn't know what this is? A raffle sounds like someone at the shower could win the diapers?  

    :?

    I wish! You bring a pack of diapers and get entered into a raffle, where you could win a gift card or pack of bath soaps or some other shower prize.
