To start with, what is a diaper party? I remember when I first heard the phrase. I imagined that it referred to a party organised by friends of a pregnant woman where the attendees brought lots of diapers as a gift for her.
In actuality, a diaper party is a party for the man who is about to become a father. In other words, it is the male equivalent of a traditional baby shower.

Can you throw your own diaper party?
Yes, you can throw your own diaper party.
Who throws a diaper party? The answer is: anyone. Who dictates who gets to throw a diaper party? The answer is: no one!
The father-to-be can take the initiative to organize his own diaper party. One of his friends, his own father, his brother(s) or cousins could take the initiative to do that for him.
Who pays for a diaper party?
This depends on the situation or how the idea for a diaper party comes up in the first place.
The person throwing the diaper party could pay for it if that is fiscally an option for them. They could also pool together money with other party attendees to get enough funds for organizing the party.
If it is the gentleman of honour who is throwing the party, it is most likely he who will pay for it.
Are diaper parties just for guys?
In much the same way that a traditional baby shower is meant for women or females, diaper parties are targeted at guys but there is nothing stopping the organizer from inviting females to the party.

Do you bring gifts to a diaper party?
Yes, you can bring gifts to a diaper party. Whether they are requested or not, as a guest, you can take a gift to a diaper party. In fact, diaper party etiquette might suggest that as an attendee, you do not arrive empty handed.
Check first to see if the father-to-be has a baby registry that he would prefer for his guests to pick out gifts from. Choosing from a registry is good because you know that you are picking out something that the expectant father actually wants or needs.

If you’re wondering what to bring to a diaper party, the first step is to not stress too much. Even if you are unable to get a gift for the dad, at least arrive with something for the party itself. For example, some snacks or drinks to add on to whatever is available when you get there.
Diaper party gift ideas for guys
Attending a diaper party soon and wondering what to bring to a diaper party? You can go with a gift directly for dad or for the baby. Here are some ideas of gifts you can take with you.
- A personalized tape measure. You can either put his name on it or ‘Dad’. You could also choose to have a funny message inscribed on it.
2. Chocolate gift set with a variety of chocolates so that you know he will enjoy at least a few of them.
3. A gift card for access to the most incredible coffee he can find. He’ll most likely need it once the baby arrives.
4. A highly reviewed book for men on what to expect from fatherhood. Here are some good ones: this, this and this.
5. Daddy and Me finger puppet board book
6. Matching jersey set for daddy and baby if he is into sports and you know what team he supports. This is an especially safe option if you do not know whether he’s having a boy or a girl as jerseys are unisex.
7. Ewan the Dream Sheep for baby
8. Framed photo of one of your baby scans
9. An excellent quality water bottle. Particularly if this dad is outdoorsy, a water bottle of good quality will be an impressive gift that he can make use of everyday.
10. Photo frame. He can put a cute photo of himself and baby in it once the baby arrives.
11. A baby carrier. This could turn out to be the best gift he’s ever received. Honestly! It makes life so much easier. A new dad can get a lot done and go lots of places with his new little baby strapped to him. It’s also nice that mom’s back gets a break at the same time!
We got the Baby Bjorn and have used it for both kids. We love it.
12. A diaper bag that’s a bit more masculine than the average diaper bag.
13. An Audible subscription. He will appreciate this so much when his hands are too busy with baby to hold a book. It is a good way for him to attempt to stay on top of his reading list with his newly busy schedule.
14. A camera to capture all the special moments with the new baby.
15. Hand vacuum. It’s when we have babies and kids that we realize how quickly a home can become messy and dirty! Help the new dad to stay on top of that one aspect of tidying up by gifting him an easy-to-use and lightweight hand vacuum. He can use it in his car as well.
16. A back massager is something he can look forward to using at the end of every day. Carrying around even the tiniest baby can wear out your shoulder and back muscles after some time. A back massager is a great gift to take with you to a diaper party because it’s something the new dad can use even before the baby arrives!
17. Baby monitor. This helps to give daddy peace of mind as baby sleeps. Get a good one and he can continue to use it for general home security purposes in the future! This is a good one.
There you go. If you’ve been wondering what to bring to a diaper party, those are some of the best options for gifts! There are a wide enough range of choices to suit all budgets as well. You don’t have to spend a whole lot. Diaper party gift ideas for guys can be hard to come up with but those will be winners with any dads-to-be.
