I wouldn't understand what a "diaplers/wipes pot luck" is, to be honest.
How about something like "Jenny and Brad are getting ready to welcome their bundle of joy! Bill and Susan are hosting a Diaper Shower in their honor - date, time, place." People will get it.
I had friends that did this. They had a little poem that stated basically... for every pack of diapers that you bring you get your name in a drawing for a game/prize.
I think it is up to the hostess/hosts of the shower to spread the word by mouth that you guys are really interested in diapers.
I think this subject can be really tough. You don't want your guests to feel like they have to bring both diapers and a gift. That can easily happen.
i went to a shower once where they did a diaper raffle, so it wasn't manditory to bring them. but a lot of people participated cuz the prize was for a 1 hour massage or something. so the family got a lot of gifts and diapers.
Are you asking for diapers in additon to regular gifts, or is it a diaper shower, in which is it assumed that only diapers and related items are to be brought?
I'm planning a diaper shower for a friend who is having her 2nd baby. She didn't want a full on shower, so we're doing a "sprinkle". But it seems to me you want diapers and a regular gift. Tacky.
i hate the idea of specifying WHAT gift to bring for anyone. ?i realize that a registry kind of does that, but registries still give you the option of what to buy. ?

My best friend threw me a stock it up shower and encouraged everyone to bring things that I really needed. I got lots of diapers, wipes, wash, lotion and things like that. Just word it that it is a stock it up shower and to bring things that you will need instead of clothes and toys. Or you could say bring diapers and/or wipes in addition to whatever else they want to give you.
I have thrown several baby showers where the mommy wanted diapers. I always worded it: Help us build a diaper tower for the little prince/princess. Or help us build a pyramid, and have everyone stack when they arrive. It worked. You may also want to specify sizes so there are a variety.

I agree with this. I know people love diapers but I would never host a shower and tell people to bring diapers. Usually as a guest I bring a small pack of diapers as part of the gift. Its pretty typical in my circle.
For me I like to know what they need or want the most.I think if you have everything else and you need diapers and wipes I as the guest would much rather get u something that you really need rather than something you don't.
Diapers are a necessity and they get pretty expensive so why not stock up on those things.As long as you get different sizes I think its a wonderful idea.I like the Diaper pyramid Idea I think its cute...
diaper raffle. put a card with the invite. you can put something like this is optional. they did this for me. alot of ppl brought diapers and wipes and nothing else. and some brough other gifts. the prize was a hugh basket. it had gift cards in it. stuff from bath and body works, note cards. i dont think its tacky. but also my friends didnt seem to mind
Re: Asking for diapers as part of the shower invitation
it could be worded as a Diapers/Wipes Pot Luck so they would bring diapers and wipes instead of a food dish

Put them on the registry!!!
If it's a diaper shower, why would anyone look at a registry? They're bringing diapers.
Hmm, first, are you sure you want just diapers? If I received an invite like that I would give a $40 box of diapers, and nothing from the registry.
Just keep that in mind . . . as a guest, I'd prefer not to be told what to bring as the gift. You can always register for diapers.
