Baby Showers
Prize for a diaper raffle?
Can anyone give me ideas on an appropriate prize for a diaper raffle? I was thinking a gift certificate but am unsure on what the amount should be. My best friend is hosting our shower but I told her I would get the prize since she is already spending so much money on the shower. I think there will be about 20 people at the shower and I don't know how many of them will be bringing diapers for the raffle.
Thanks!

He's the single greatest thing I've done in my life and reminds me daily of how fun (and funny) life can be. He's turned out pretty swell for having such a heartless and evil mother.
My thoughts exactly.
The prize at showers I've attended (that had the diaper raffle) have been in the $20-25 range. Either a gift card or a basket of stuff. I once won a gas gift card for $25 and loved it!
1. BJ's is a warehouse store like Sams Club.
2. Obviously, if you know there are a bunch of diabetics attending your shower, this gift is not a good idea. But what are the odds of 1 diabetic winning a candy tower? And I've seen them offered as door prizes at plenty of parties.
The food towers from BJ's also had nuts, pocorn, pretzels, ect. Will that throw someone into a sugar induced coma, too?
Mmm, so how can you be sure the people you are begging diapers from are not allergic to petroleum or plastic?
The easy way to deal with this "complicated" issue is, buy your own diapers and save money on the potentially hazardous door prize
Of course everyone *loves* the idea of a diaper raffle. Your friends aren't going to tell you it's tacky and stupid.
I'd just save the "prize" money and use it to buy my own pack of diapers.
We are doing one as well, and I think a reasonable gift would be about $20-$25.00. We were thinking about doing a manicure gift certificate or a little relaxation gift set. They have nice sets out right now especially since Christmas is coming up!
Complaining about buying an 8 dollar pack of diapers is totally not tacky!
My goodness all you negative Nancy's suck the fun out of EVERYTHING!!
Now to answer your question, I am making a big wine themed basket and a 25 dollar gift car to eat out. We are having two winners! I am so glad that my family is full of the type of people who want to help the mommy to be prepare for her baby. I would be so sad if I was surrounded by women and family like the ones on these threads!
Holy crap. This thread is 4 effing years old.
