A Very Nappy Party: Diaper Baby Shower Theme

11th
March 2008


The best way to send your warmest greetings to a friend or relative who’s going to have a baby is by throwing a baby shower. It’s fun to have this type of party; the pregnant woman spends time with the people closest to her, and she receives gifts for her soon-to-be-born baby. That’s why when you heard about the pregnancy you immediately offered to arrange a baby shower.

One of the first things you’ll have to remember when you’re throwing a baby shower is the theme. There are numerous ideas out there you can choose, but of course, you need to find one that’s interesting, fun, and won’t be too hard to plan. Why not use a theme related to a baby item? A diaper baby shower theme would be a fantastic choice! Any mommy would be able to relate to this theme.

It’s easy to plan a baby shower, as long as you’re equipped with creativity and patience. Here are some tips to help you plan the perfect diaper shower party.

Cute Nappy Invites: Diaper Invitations

Then, print the party details on the inside. Afterwards, fold the paper, just like a diaper is folded up, and then secure it with a safety pin. It’s a very simple invitation your guests will love.

If you don’t have time to make diaper invitations, you can always check out those sold in party supply stores. If you’re lucky, you might find some in the shape of a diaper. If you’re not, you can always get the usual type. Just look for diaper decorations on the cover.

Dressing Up The Venue: Cute Diaper Decorations

Then, hang these up on your walls. For your tablecloths, find some with cute diaper prints on them. Lastly, don’t forget the party centerpiece: a diaper cake! It’s a tiered cake-like structure made entirely of diapers and other baby products. You can place this in the middle of the venue as a cute centerpiece. (Learn how to make a diaper cake)

Diaper Treats: Delicious Party Food

You can serve the usual sweet treats, such as cupcakes and cookies, but make sure you top them off with a diaper design made from frosting. Another fun idea is making “baby poop dip”. It’s a chip dip made from refried beans. Baby poop dip resembles actual poop, but it’s a delicious treat your guests will find amusing and enjoyable.

A No-Poop Party: Diaper Party Games

No party would be complete without fun activities, and for a diaper themed party, there are numerous games you can play. Pass The Dirty Diaper is an enjoyable example, where the guests have to pass around a diaper filled with “poop” (melted chocolate). When the music stops, the one holding the diaper is out of the game. Blindfold Diapering is another fun game, and it allows people to practice their diapering skills without looking!

Cute Giveaways: Diaper Party Favors
