You don't. It's tacky and rude.

Diapers are expensive enough. The last few baby showers I have attended the diapers were the gift along with maybe a bottle or something less expensive. A shower is supposed to be apreciated not expected. If someone is nice enough to give you a baby shower be thankful and not picky. These people don't have to give you anything, they are just trying to be nice and help get you started.

A package of diapers IS a gift (Have you seen how much they cost these days?) It would be rude to ask people to bring them IN ADDITION to a gift. But, if the Mom-to-be is really wanting to stock up on diapers, she can put that on her registry or you can include a list of needs in the shower invitation to include diapers. I think this would be much more acceptable. Congratulations to the parents-to-be!

When I had my showers, I went to Wal-Mart and registered. They give you a scanner, and then you scan what items you would like. Scan diapers in the sizes you would like, as many packages as you need. When someone buys something, they take it off the list, so make sure to put enough. Then just put on the invitation that you are registered at Wal-Mart. Target does this also, which I did for my wedding. Most people will buy off the registery, because they want to get you what you need. The registery is next to the jewlery counter. It's a lot of fun, too! Good luck!

You don't. If she is in need of diapers, then 2 or 3 of you who know that information, get together and make her a diaper cake. That way she gets diapers and its a unique gift too. They make beuatiful baby shower centerpieces for the gift table.
My instructions are on ebay on how to make your own diaper cake along with several other peoples. If you'd rather purchase one already made, visit my website at http://babygiftsbyandrea.bravehost.com
Good Luck!

Do you realize just how expensive diapers are? You can't ask everyone to bring both diapers AND another gift! That's just tacky and rude.
The mother to be can register at Babies R US or somewhere and put about 10 packs of diapers on the registry along with other items. People will buy them.
(For reference, though, don't make it 10 packs of NB size, because baby will grow out of those quickly. Make it size 1.)

you dont it's rude I'd be offended if i got an invitation in the mail that said in other words buy me a gift and with that gift i want diapers too maybe u dont mean it that way but thats the way it comes across diapers are expensive i have two kids actually they are babies, diapers are like anywhere from 12-20 dollars a bag maybe if someome asks u what u need for the baby u can tell them diapers but dont be greedy and demand people to buy them and give u a gift let people get what they want be grateful cuz if u sent me an invitation like that i'd get u nothing

i don't believe of you'd be appeared down on for not bringing them if the guy is somewhat your chum, yet i need to assert they are probable doing that raffle insentive because loose diapers are the perfect toddler present you supplies you for my section. when I had my toddler bathe i changed into questioning why the heck are a number of those human beings giving me crappy diapers and not in any respect some attractive toy or outfit yet after my daughter changed into born those diapers were the perfect present i have been given LOL. yet when you're on a funds such as your own wedding ceremony and being pregnant then do not problem about getting the different human being diapers. look out for your self and your toddler first.

never ask people to bring something! if the mom to be is having a hard financial time, you could throw out an idea and say since she is having ahard time, if youre interested let's all bring this, but never ask someone point blank to bring a diaper bag AND a gift. I'm a new mom too so im not against anything, but it seems unfair to have people pay for that much.

I would say it would be rude to ask them. It is nice enough that people bring you gifts to your baby shower and you should be thankful for that. A baby registry helps give people an idea of what you need. You could put diapers on your registry, put be thankful of anything they are kind enough to give you to help you get started with your new baby.

One of the girls I worked with suggested a Pamper party where the guys bring diapers and the ladies bring baby presents. so you might try a modification of that. It's kind of nice to let people know what you need, so you don't end up with 50 onesies and no bottles or something like that(also can make it easier on the gift-giver to know what you need for the baby)
