Good diaper raffle wording says three things in two or three short lines: bring a pack of diapers, each pack earns a raffle ticket, and one ticket wins a prize at the end of the shower. Put it on a separate insert card rather than burying it in the invitation text, and keep the tone light so it reads as a fun extra, not a requirement.
Below are 31 lines you can copy as they are, grouped by style, plus where to put them on the invitation and what the sign at the party should say. If you want the wording already designed and printed, our diaper raffle cards come four to a page and fit a standard invitation envelope.
What should diaper raffle wording include?
Every version that works covers the same short list. Guests skim invitations, so each line has to earn its place.
- The ask: bring a pack of diapers.
- The reward: one pack equals one raffle ticket.
- The payoff: a prize is drawn at the end of the shower.
- Optional, the size: “any size”, or a gentle nudge toward sizes 1 to 3, since newborn diapers are outgrown in a few weeks.
Simple diaper raffle wording
Plain and polite works for almost any guest list, from coworkers to grandparents.
- “Bring a pack of diapers in any size and you’ll be entered to win a prize.”
- “One pack of diapers equals one raffle ticket. The winner is drawn at the end of the shower.”
- “Help us stock up on diapers! Bring a pack for a chance to win.”
- “Please bring a pack of diapers (any size) to enter our diaper raffle.”
- “Diapers welcome! Every pack you bring earns you a ticket in the raffle.”
- “Instead of a card, bring a pack of diapers and be entered into our prize drawing.”
- “Want to win a prize? Bring a pack of diapers in size 1, 2 or 3 and fill out a ticket at the door.”
- “The more diapers you bring, the more tickets you get. Good luck!”
Cute and rhyming diaper raffle wording
A rhyme makes the ask feel playful, which helps if your crowd is shy about bringing an extra gift.
- “A little one needs a lot of these, so bring some diapers, if you please!”
- “Diapers big or diapers small, one pack enters you, that’s all!”
- “Size one or size two, every pack’s a ticket for you!”
- “Little baby, little bum, bring a pack and join the fun!”
- “Help us keep the baby dry, and you could win a prize, oh my!”
- “Bring a pack of diapers, any brand will do, and a raffle ticket will be waiting for you.”
- “Keep the baby clean and dry, and win a prize before you say goodbye!”
- “Bring a pack, get a ticket, maybe take home the prize. Little bottoms come in every size!”
Funny diaper raffle wording
Save these for a crowd that knows each other well, or for a coed shower where the jokes land better.
- “Bring a pack of diapers and save us a midnight store run. You might even win a prize.”
- “We’re expecting a lot of diaper changes. Bring a pack and get a raffle ticket.”
- “Help us survive the poop-pocalypse: one pack of diapers equals one raffle entry.”
- “Bribery works. Bring diapers, get a shot at the prize.”
- “Our baby can’t say thank you yet, but the raffle prize can. Bring a pack to enter.”
- “A newborn goes through about 2,500 diapers in the first year. Bring a pack, win a prize, save our sanity.”
Diaper raffle wording for a baby boy or girl
If the shower has a theme, a small nod to it makes the insert feel like part of the invitation.
For a baby boy
- “Help keep our little man dry! Bring a pack of diapers to enter the raffle.”
- “Our little guy will need lots of these. One pack equals one entry to win.”
- “Boy, oh boy, does he need diapers! Bring a pack for a chance at the prize.”
For a baby girl
- “Help keep our little lady comfy! Bring a pack of diapers to enter the raffle.”
- “Sugar, spice and lots of diapers. Bring a pack and you could win a prize.”
- “Our little princess needs a royal supply of diapers. Every pack earns a raffle ticket.”
Diaper and wipes raffle wording
Wipes run out almost as fast as diapers, so many hosts accept both.
- “Bring a pack of diapers or wipes and get a ticket for the raffle.”
- “Diapers earn one ticket, wipes earn one too. Bring both and double your chances!”
- “Help us stock the changing table: diapers or wipes, any size or brand, enter you to win.”
How do you add a diaper raffle to a baby shower invitation?
The cleanest way is a separate insert card tucked behind the main invitation. It keeps the invitation itself uncluttered and gives the raffle room to be read. Here are the three options side by side.
| Option | How it works | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| Insert card | A small card in the envelope with two or three lines of wording | Printed invitations |
| One line on the invitation | A short line under the RSVP details, such as “Diaper raffle: bring a pack to win a prize” | Simple or very full invitations |
| Digital invitation | A line in the event details, or a photo of the insert card attached to the message | Text and email invites |
To set it up in five minutes:
- Decide on sizes: “any size” is easiest, sizes 1 to 3 are the most useful.
- Pick one line from the lists above that matches the tone of your invitation.
- Print it on an insert card or add it under the RSVP line.
- Mention the prize if you like. A hint (“a cozy candle set”) gets more people involved.
- Have tickets and a sign ready on the day, so guests know what to do when they arrive.

What should the diaper raffle sign say?
The sign at the gift table only has to repeat the rule: “Diaper Raffle. Bring a pack of diapers (any size) and drop a ticket in the jar to be entered to win a prize! 1 pack of diapers = 1 entry.” Stand it next to a jar, a few pens and a stack of tickets. Our raffle sign uses exactly that wording, and the matching raffle tickets have lines for each guest’s name and phone number.
Is it rude to ask for diapers on a baby shower invitation?
No, as long as it reads as optional. A diaper raffle is a common, practical tradition, and most guests are glad to know a gift that will actually get used. Keep it polite: put it on a separate card, never make diapers a condition of coming, avoid naming a brand, and let guests who prefer a regular gift join in without pressure.

Frequently asked questions
Where do you put the diaper raffle on the invitation?
On a separate insert card tucked behind the invitation, or as one short line under the RSVP details. An insert card is easier to read and keeps the main invitation clean.
What size diapers should guests bring?
Any size works, but sizes 1 to 3 are the most useful, because babies outgrow newborn diapers within a few weeks. You can say “any size” on the card and still mention that larger sizes are welcome.
How do you word a diaper raffle for a virtual shower?
Ask guests to ship a pack of diapers to the parents and send a screenshot of the order to enter. Something like: “Send a pack of diapers to the parents-to-be and share your order confirmation to be entered in the raffle.”
Should the wording mention the prize?
It’s optional. A short hint, such as “win a cozy candle set”, gets more guests involved, but “win a prize” on its own works fine.
Can guests enter without bringing diapers?
That’s up to the host. The classic rule is one pack, one ticket, but some hosts also let guests enter with a pack of wipes.
