 |
|
| im starting to plan my baby shower and i am trying to come up with an idea to make sure i get diapers and wipes......i need them the most...so heres my idea....on the invitations somehow say that the first 10 people there with diapers and wipers get a prize....and then once the games part has started i would give those people a gift....i was thinking i would get a lot of diapers cuz wouldnt everyone try to do this?? is this a good idea or no?? any suggestions?? would that be rude to write it right on the invitation? my bf cannot do a diaper party by the way cuz he has no one to really invite he's a very shy guy and does not have any friends plus we were thinking of doing a co ed baby shower...... |

| If people ask you what you need or want, just tell them diapers and wipes you could really use the most. At my baby shower I didn't even ask for them, and almost every person gave a pack of diapers and wipes along with another gift! Your idea is also good too. I don't think I would actually write it on the invitation, but when you register if you haven't already, make sure you register a whole boat load of diapers and wipes and people will get the hint. I think a co-ed baby shower is great, my best friend had one. |

| You're planning your own shower, and thinking about telling people what to buy...I don't think there's any way to help you, here. Of course it's very rude. |

| For my second baby shower we had a diaper shower which is like yours everybody brings a pack of diapers. And I had 13 packs of diapers and 2 boxes of wipes and that lasted me 4 months. i think its a good idea that way you get diapers and wipes it helps out ALOT! Good luck! |

| For my baby shower i emailed my friends "a list of ideas" for my baby shower, the invite had gone out a week or so prior to them in the post. I had friends who had no idea what to buy and kept asking me what do you need and what havnt you got yet.I sent around an email that said something like: alot of people are asking me what to get for the baby shower so i have created a list of things i dont have and really need. I hope this helps. Then followed a list with most needed items on the top of the list. I found this really helped them and nobody was offended that i was pushing for gifts!! I found that on the day most peoples presents was accompanied with a pack of nappies anyway!! Good luck with it, by the way mine was co-ed aswell and it was lots of fun!! |

| just say that if you wish to bring a gift for the baby, we will be pleased with diapers and wipes. it's simple the point and not rude |

| I would tell whoever is planning this and everyone that's close to pass the word that you want diapers. I would not write it on the invitations. Also, have them get bigger diapers, not ust newborn, or you'll be returning a lot to the store. |

| Personally, I think its bad etiquette to tell people what to get you as a gift. If they ask, THEN you could tell them they you are in need of diapers and wipies. Other than that, just be grateful for the things that people offer to you and the baby. That's just my opinion on the matter. If you get duplicates or things that you'll never use, you could always exchange those gifts for diapers at a later date. Most people who've had a baby KNOW that diapers are the most used item. I'm sure you'll get plenty of them. |

| How about a diaper raffle? With the invitation add a slip of paper with gift suggestions including the wipes then add that theres a diaper raffle. Those who bring diapers' names gets added to a raffle to win a prize, the more packs you bring the more times your name is entered. This way you save money on the prize itself and make sure its a cool thing instead of 10 lousy prizes.... just a really creative way of swinging the people to bring diapers and a gift. |

| I went to a baby shower that said if you bring diapers, your name goes into a drawing for a prize. |
