Diaper raffles are becoming a popular trend to help parents stock up on one of the most essential supplies needed for a newborn: diapers! A diaper raffle is when a guest brings a pack of diapers to a baby shower in exchange for a raffle ticket. If a person brings more than one pack of diapers, then they get another raffle ticket - so the more packs they bring, then the more chances they will have to win the prize!

A diaper raffle prize is usually a bigger than regular baby shower game prizes because people are exchanging a pack of diapers for a ticket, so you want the diaper raffle prize to be at least equal or more than a pack of diapers. A good-sized pack of diapers usually goes for around $50, so you want a prize worth at least that much (or more), so people feel good about it.
