what to call a baby shower where only diapers and essentials are needed?
Hi, I am throwing a shower for my friend. She is having twin boys. She already has 2 girls. She isn't going to register anywhere. We both agree that people generally don't shop off the registry anyways. Is there anyway to word her invitation that diapers, wipes, clothes would be awesome? How should I title the invitation? I really hope this isn't coming off as weird or tacky or anything. that is just what I am trying to avoid!
Anyways, should I just Say Please come to ____ Baby Shower! and leave it as is; or should I call it a "diaper shower" or something else that is clever and to the point?
would love some thoughts and ideas thanks!
"sunflower" it is not up to you what is appropriate. my friend is in her early 30s and was on birth control when she conceived her twins. she was not planning on adding on to her family. Thankfully, her youngest is about 18 months currently, so she still has pretty much all the big baby items. A shower is provided by friends or family who wish to help the family with their new bundle(s) of joy. It is not a requirement, however. She didn't want me to throw it, but since she is such a lovely person and a great friend, it is my pleasure to arrange it. Even if it's diapers, I am sure she is more than appreciative. If people feel the way you do, they can decline the RSVP. thanks

Interesting because at almost 40 years of age and having teenage sons I found I was pregnant with twin boys! Those twins are now 6. My family did have a diaper shower for me and called it just that. Some people did bring diapers and another item, like powder, wipes, shampoo, etc. But it was wonderful knowing I had all those diapers for our babies when they came. Best wishes to your friend and good luck with your shower : )
PS NOT tacky as these will be put to good use!, rather than clothes that they may not be able to wear and Mom may want to dress them a certain way, like mine are not identical, so they wear similar outfits, like maybe red shirt and green shirt, but then both in navy shorts.

Maybe on the invitation you could write "Diapers, wipes, and clothes, Oh my!" and make the theme just that. Write somewhere that anyone who brings these items will have their name put into a drawing to win one of several door prizes.

She's already had a baby shower. A diaper shower is the only thing that would be appropriate. It's up to her to buy her own baby stuff. A baby celebration doesn't require gifts like a shower does. And no, it doesn't matter that she had girls before and now is having boys. She chose to get pregnant again. It's pretty tacky to expect others to shop because she chose to have another.
