Thanks a million everyone for the idea's I feel better now about doing it.
If you have pretty much everything you need for baby, tell people to bring only diapers, gift cards or cash gifts. That's what i did at mine.
We had purchased everything, so we just asked for gift cards. People had no problems with that.
I'm going to do a diaper raffle to. In my invitations I wrote bring a diaper any size and you'll be put into a raffle. I figure that some people will bring them and some won't. I don't think you are making them feel obligated.
I did a diaper raffle at my baby shower. We made the invitations so we just put at the bottom to bring a pack of diapers or wipes to be entered in a special raffle. We had about 60 people and got around 20 boxes of diapers and like 7 or 8 wipes packs. The prize was a movie night pack, it was two movie tickets with a gift card for popcorn and drinks.
I wanted to do the same thing but my husband just looked at me like I was asking them a million dollar question
Definitely not! Most showers I've been to lately had daiper raffles. People understand so don't worry about it. & yea, putting it on the invitation is a great idea.
