Diaper Message Station
Introduction
Let’s be real diaper changes at 3 in the morning aren’t exactly glamorous. But this little game? It makes them a whole lot more bearable. The Diaper Message Station is all about writing silly, sweet, or totally ridiculous notes on the outside of diapers. Later on, when the parents are knee-deep in wipes and running on zero sleep, they’ll see your message and (hopefully) crack a tired smile. It’s fast, funny, and ends up being one of the things parents actually remember and talk about after the shower’s over.
What You’ll Need
- A pack or two of plain disposable diapers (any newborn or size 1 brand works)
- Permanent markers (black, colorful whatever you've got)
- A small table or corner with a sign that explains what to do
- Optional: a cute basket or box to collect the finished diapers
How to Play
- Set out a stack of diapers and a few markers. That’s it no need to overthink it.
- Ask guests to grab a diaper and write something on the front could be a funny joke, a sweet note, a pun, or even fake advice like ‘Don’t look down!’
- Once they’re done, they toss the diaper into the basket or box for the parents to take home.
- Later on, during those not-so-glamorous moments, the new parents get a little pick-me-up when they need it most.
Fun Variations
Theme it up jokes, motivational quotes, 'dad jokes,' or ‘midnight mantras’
Make it a mini contest: have guests vote on the funniest diaper
Add a ‘guess who wrote it’ twist if people don’t sign their names
Use different diaper sizes so the laughs keep coming as baby grows
Set up a small photo station nearby so guests can pose with their best diaper quote
Why Guests Love It
- It’s fast, fun, and doesn’t require artistic skill or deep thought
- People love writing goofy stuff without being put on the spot
- It gives everyone a way to be part of the parents’ journey even after the party’s over
- There’s always that one diaper message that becomes a running joke in the family
Conclusion
The Diaper Message Station is simple, silly, and surprisingly meaningful. It's the kind of baby shower moment that sticks not because it's big, but because it's real. When the new parents are up at 2 a.m., sleep-deprived and elbow-deep in baby wipes, your words might be exactly what gets them through that change with a smile.
