~~the last shower i was at everyone had to cut a piece of yarn that they thought would fit around the mother's tummy, (she was still expecting when they had the shower.... and the closest to the right size got the prize
they also did a trivia question thingy about the mother and dad, where they met, how old they were, fav. colors, fav foods...etc...
and as far as the raffle, you could just put it, we will be raffling off _______ and anyone wishing to participate in the raffle, tickets will be 1 package of diapers. this way maybe some of them will even get two or 3 packs of diapers.~~

The best game I've played at a coed baby shower:
There was a clothesline of plain white baby onesies and each onesie had a babyfood stain on it. We had to guess what type of babyfood (from baby food jars) was stained on each onesie. Example, one had carrots, one had spinach & potatoes, and the most difficult one was mixed veggies.
Another good game is a quiz. You can ask questions like: how big is the baby now, how many weeks old is the baby, what's the mommy-to-be's favorite craving, etc.,etc.
For your invite wording... how about a funny rhyme, something like this:
"Let's play a good game,
Join the fun & don't be lame!
Be on time, try not to lag,
And remember to bring diapers (1 pack) in a bag!"
Good luck!

Couldn't tell if you were looking for coed games or just wanting people to come... either way, I'd go with guys welcome or something witty about just cause you can't have babies, I'd still like to see you and hey, you can win a prize... only I'm sure you wouldn't want the saying that long. Anyway... fun coed game that's cute is passing around a roll of toilet paper and asking each person to tear off the amount they would use to wipe normally. Don't tell them why they are doing it. After everyone has taken their tp, you measure it around the pregnant one's belly and whoever comes closest wins a prize. Have fun!

at my shower we did two fun games.. one was take the labels off 14 baby food jars and everyone had to guess what they were by sight alone (no tasting!) and I got to keeo all the food for my daughter.. we also played a dice game where we had 2 dice and a pile of wrapped presents... everyone rolled the dice and if you got doubles you got to pick something from the pile then when all the gift were out everyone unwrapped everything.. then everyone rolls the dice again and if you get doubles you get to pick something that someone else has and they have to give it to you.. we had a ton of fun with this game.. there was a lot of play fighting over things.. it got to be so funny I almost went into labor from laughing!!!

If the couples attending have children of their own... you could do a spin-off of the newlywed game, but geared with baby / birth related questions. The couple with the highest score wins.
As for the raffle... you could print on the invite:
Raffling "XYZ"... to enter raffle, please donate 1 box of diapers.
Have fun & good luck!

A fun coed game: Big bowl of uncooked, long grain rice... a large package of the smallest safty pins you can find, opened and dumped in the rice bowl...blindfolded contestants try to separate as many safty pins from the rice as possible, in a set time. It's harder than you think. And as for the invites... just say it like you said it here!

fun co-ed games:
for the guys=who can drink a bottle the fastest. nasty drink of your choice! if you want to be nice use a good tasting one. go to the dollar store for cheap bottles to ruin. boys like to bite bigger holes!
for the girls=a quiz. best answers to questions about newborns. after the quiz is over, and best answers are voted on, make a book of them for the new mom.

Play unscrambling babies items, for ex. rattle like ttlrae. Maybe guess the weight game with a string. A person cuts the string where they think where you pregnant who ever is close will win.

We did a game at my shower where we passed around jars of baby food and everyone had to guess what kind it was.
