Diaper Party Themes

A Diaper Party is the best way to celebrate a mom and dad-to-be and make sure they’re stocked up on the most essential item of new parenthood - diapers!

A diaper shower theme makes party planning easy and fun on so many levels. It’s gender-neutral and works whether you’re throwing a baby shower for the mom, the dad or the couple. Diaper parties are flexible and can range from low-key casual to formally elegant.

By the way, we love a diaper sprinkle as well - a smaller diaper themed baby shower - for parents expecting their 2nd (or 3rd or 4th you get the idea) baby.

We’re sort of experts on how to gift diapers so we have A LOT of thoughts on how to throw the perfect diaper party.

First, you need to decide on a Diaper Party Theme, which will help set the tone for the party.

Diaper Party Themes

Diaper Parties run the gamut from small and informal to large and fancy. Once you’ve decided to throw a diaper party, you can drill down on the style. We have diaper party ideas to fit every style and budget.

Here are some of our favorite Diaper Party Themes:


Diapers & Drinks

This idea works for a variety of different scenarios. It can be a fancy cocktail party hosted at a friend or family member’s home on a Friday night or a more casual get together of co-workers at a pub after work on a Thursday. It’s great for celebrating a dad-to-be but works just as well celebrating the couple. Just have a signature mocktail on hand for the expecting mom and anyone else who wants a celebratory drink sans alcohol. This concept also works well for a brunch diaper shower. Throw in some real and mocktail mimosas for the win.

We have a great post filled with fabulous mocktails perfect for any baby shower here.

Diapers & Donuts

Isn’t it great that baby showers are not a one and done event anymore? Not long ago a parent-to-be could only hope to have one shower. There were so many assumptions around who would be the host as well. It was typically only thrown by a very close family member or friend. And don’t even get us started on the “tradition” that a shower was only for a first baby.

Thank goodness now anybody can - and should - throw a small get-together to celebrate a growing family. A Diapers & Donuts theme is perfect for celebrating a co-worker in the breakroom, a mom friend on the playground one afternoon or any group that wants to mark the special moment in time. This is a theme that’s perfect when you’re short on time. It’s easy to plan. You can just grab those donuts and go if it’s a last minute get-together. If you are planning ahead you can get fancier. Donuts from a bakery that can customize the frosting colors and decorative elements are a sweet touch. Or, you can unleash your inner Martha Stewart and bake them yourself.

Dudes and Diapers

Dads today are more involved and hands-on than ever before. So, of course, other dads are eager to celebrate a new member joining the club. A little get-together celebrating the dad-to-be is always a great idea. Whether it’s just a small circle of friends getting together in someone’s backyard for a bbq or a larger group meeting for dinner and drinks one night, the Dudes and Diapers theme lets them know this will be a guy’s night with a twist. Dad’s going to be changing a lot of diapers so let’s make sure he’s stocked and ready.

Diapers & Drivers

This is another one of our favorite ways for guys to celebrate a dad-to-be and is great for golf-loving gals as well. Getting a few foursomes out on the course and following with lunch or dinner is such a fun celebration. A diaper theme and a group diaper gift is perfect for this type of party. It’s easy to bring to the event and easy for the guest of honor to bring home.

Diapers & Wipes Party

This is the simplest, most foolproof baby shower theme ever! This theme will work wherever you decide to host your party and will fit any scale party - big, small, formal, casual.

Diapers & Desserts Party

A Diapers & Desserts party keeps the cost of your party low while keeping the sweet factor high. Hold this type of party in mid-afternoon - after people have had lunch but before dinner. Serve tea and coffee and an array of desserts. It’s a great opportunity for everyone to get together in a low-stress, high-fun environment. If you’re the host, you can even do yourself a favor and make it pot-luck style where guests bring a dessert to share. Looking for diaper-themed dessert ideas? We love diaper shaped cookies or, if you’re feeling less crafty, pop a fun decorative piece into a homemade or store-bought cupcake. We like these and these. Lots of little mini desserts - mini cupcakes, bite-sized brownies - are always more fun than the full-size versions. Not only are they visually more appealing but your guests can have a bit of everything.
