What are diaper kegs and diaper raffles? 

Diaper kegs and diaper raffles are popular baby shower or pre-baby celebration activities that help new parents stock up on diapers while involving friends and family.

A recent post from a diaper brand’s blog states diaper kegs are often a more casual, male-friendly version of a traditional baby shower, sometimes called a “Dadchelor Party.”

At a diaper keg, guests are treated to a party with a keg of beer in exchange for bringing a pack of diapers. 

A diaper raffle, on the other hand, is a game where baby shower guests can win prizes by bringing diapers, writes Babylist.com.

For each pack they bring, guests are given a raffle ticket. Then, as the event progresses, one or more winners are drawn from the tickets, and they are awarded a prize.

“I did a raffle and 2 people brought them,” shared one user. “It was an awkward raffle since I had two prizes.”

“I did a diaper raffle and only 4 people brought diapers,” recounted another. 

“We called ours a preggers keggers!” shared another. “Didn’t have to buy diapers for an easy 8+ months was the best idea ever and one of the few times I’ve blacked out,” said a third, adding a crying laughing emoji at the end.
