Baby Showers
Diaper Cake as gift?
Hello. I have a question for you. I am making a very good friend of mine a diaper cake for her shower next month. I talked to her Mom and found out what theme they are doing (they are going with blue baby bottles and stuff) so I am making the diaper cake all blue as well. I told her Mom I was making her the diaper cake and that I would bring it a little before the shower and help them set up. Her Mom wants to use it as decoration on the gift table. Which is fine by me- she basically just wants to put it on the center of the table or whatever. My question is... Is this okay as my gift to her? This will be a large diaper cake with several items like a blue and white dog for the top, bibs, spoons, bottles, washclothes, pacifiers, nailclippers, hair brush, baby powder & wash, etc. There will be tons of little things on there so is this enough or should I get her something else too? I don't want it to look like I didn't get her anything!

Okay I wasn't even thinking about a card, thats a good way to tell her. Thanks!
Just a thought, in a previous post on the 2nd tri board, a lot of women complained that the diaper cakes they received made the diapers unusable, either because the maker had squashed/mangled the diapers or because the adhesives they used made detaching the diapers impossible.
I think it's a very cute idea but you will want to make sure that the diapers are still in good shape or it's just a table topper. GL and enjoy!
Ditto this. Or you could tie a cute gift tag/note to the diaper cake itself.
We use the clear poneytail holders that way we are sure that they are not seen.

Oh I like this idea. I never thought about those, I will have to go get some so I can start! Thanks.
