diaper raffle/drawing wording

mooninlv · January 2011

i'm working on invites for a shower i'm hosting and need wording for the diaper raffle portion. ideas? TIA!

Please don't do a diaper raffle. Just let people go to the mother-to-be's registery and buy a gift of their choosing. Please don't dictate that they have to bring more than their baby shower gift.

bringing diapers isn't mandatory and i've been to several showers with a diaper raffle. didn't bother me a bit. wasn't looking for opinions on them, thanks tho

There are not many fans of Diaper Raffles here. That being said, I would word it to make the raffle entirely optional.

(in smaller print at bottom of invite)

We will be having an optional diaper raffle. If you would like to participate, please consider bringing a small package of diapers for a chance to win a door prize.

HTH

I know you're already buying a lot,

but diapers for poo, those she has not.

So when you're out shopping and buying her stuff,

toss some diapers in, she can't have enough.

My friend doesn't know, I'm being so crass

so bring lots of diapers, to cover that as$!

If you buy what I order, if you spend lots more cash

You'll win a some cheap soap, here's to no rash!

Don't worry though, you don't *have* to partake

I'll just judge you, while I'm serving you cake.

Btw, when you post on the internet, you're opening yourself to the opinions of others, esp when you post something so poorly received by so many.

wowsas, simmer down. did you spend a lot of time on that? the whole diaper raffle thing really isn't a big deal where i live, and it was my friend's idea (for her shower). doesn't matter to me one way or the other if people bring diapers, but we are giving away a gift certificate to a nice spa, so it's not like it's some $10 door prize. people spend what they can afford, and it is optional.

why's that so hard to understand? she wanted to do it, so we are. i'm not losing sleep over whether or not people will bring diapers.

Why don't you take the money you were going to spend on a gift certificate to a nice spa and put it towards a bunch of diapers, or a gift certificate to diapers.com or amazon mom?

And the optional thing is b.s. People don't want to be the only one who doesn't partake in something, so they bring diapers even though they think it is tacky as hell.

I see diaper raffles quite a lot in my area and I have never purchased diapers for one, nor have I felt bad about not participating. Plenty of people at the showers I have gone to don't participate. My thoughts are it's a game, you can either choose to play or not. I choose not to. I try very hard to follow proper etiquette, but there really is no rule of etiquette that says it is wrong to hold a raffle at your shower. I have never heard anyone say one bad thing about them, except on this board. I think this may be very regional, kind of like surprise showers, which I think are dumb, but that's just my opinion. Who the hell cares if a stranger has a diaper raffle, it's NMS, but really who cares?

One of my friends, who is hosting my shower, feels very strongly about doing this and I said I really don't want to. Since we are CDing I don't think it will be an issue.

Raffles are for fundraisers. Not showers.

PMontoya10 · June 2011

Wow, didn't think the whole diaper raffle thing was such a huge deal. Almost every shower that I have been to has had one and I look at it as diapers is the number one thing that a baby needs, why not make it fun and throw in a door prize. I have even been to showers where diapers was the only gift the mother requested. So really, chill out. Diapers are just the same as registering for a stroller or crib and playing the Bingo gift game while the mom to be opens gifts; you also get a gift out of the game if you play just right! Geez ladies, get a grip. If you don't like it then opt out easy as that! :-)

Ballsox, I hope you saved that somewhere because that is HYSTERICAL!

Didn't make up people needing stupid poems to cover up tacky greed? No, I didn't make that up.

That specific poem? Yes, I did make that up.

Wow, I think her question was diaper raffle/drawing wording not do you think it's tacky to have a diaper raffle/drawing..... I think the people that would make a big deal out of something like this just love drama.... If you are inviting the people who trully care about the mother/father to be and the baby they would never think something like this is tacky

Right. Because we're all just sucky friends who don't "trully" care about the people for whom the shower is thrown. I care about my friends and family, and would most definitely side-eye a diaper raffle at a shower. If I wan't to buy someone diapers, I'll darn well do it myself without being coerced into it by a tacky game.

If you truly care about your friends and family you wouldn't shake them down for another gift.

Just came across this and I'm lmao! Doesn't a baby registry also dictate what people should bring? Just saying... You have too much time on your hands Ballsox if you are writing poems about this kind of stuff. Thanks for the laugh.

It takes far less time than digging up old posts from months ago. Don't lose too much sleep, 95% of my poems take as much or less time than any other of my replies.

rockinmommy · August 2012

That poem was awesome.

And no, Ballsox did not take forever to make up that poem. She's technically the BSB poet laureate, and can conjur up a poem faster than some people can think of a reply.

And while I've never been to a baby shower with a diaper raffle, I don't know how I would feel if I went to one with one, I probably would not participate. Since the MTB wants one, make the wording short and simple.
