Men's Diaper Party

Have any of you ever heard about this or have had husbands/boyfriends go to one?  So apparently, the guys get together during the baby shower or anyother day/night and bring a box/pack of diapers for the father to be.  It really is just an excuse for the guys to get together and drink, but it helps the stock pile. Just owndering if it is cheesy or not.  Not that we would plan a formal party, but one of my girlfriends suggested her boyfriend organize it for us.  Also... I have heard that BRU has adiaper exchange policy, in cae you have too  many of one size, you can exchange for another size... is that true?

NO way! It's so great! My SIL and best friends have had one! So much fun for the guys. The dad provides the beer and the guests bring diapers. Man the amount of diaper that you get is GREAT! We plan on having one in May the same weekend I have my baby shower ;-)

One of DHs friends threw him one before DS was born and it was AMAZING! It was really just a big poker game with lots of friends, but everyone brought some diapers and/or wipes. DH ended up bringing home over 900 diapers of varying sizes and multiple packs of wipes. We didn't have to buy diapers for DS for a very very long time; it was such a blessing!

I've heard of this, my SO is all for it! Ha I'm not surprised! That was actually one of the first things that one of his friends suggested. I think it's cute for them and it gets diapers for us! :)

I love the Diaper Party idea!

Baby showers are great, but you end up with a lot of cutesy stuff you don't need.  This party gets you stockpiled on something you will need!

They're pretty common around here. Guys get together, drink beer, grill, shoot the shiit, and everyone brings diapers. People rack up!

We had one and we didn't have to buy diapers until DD was 6 months old!  The only downside is you will surely get mostly size one diapers (at least we did) and since we ended up with a big baby we had to exchange them at various stores and guys never keep receipts for stuff like that.  I was pretty sure we were going to get black-listed at Target at one point. LOL.

Yeah, I told DH I want him to have one soon after we found out I was pregnant. Apparently no one I know has ever heard of it. From what I've been told you can return diapers to Walmart & exchange without a receipt. Our roommates had to when their girl was a baby. Just as long as it hasn't been opened!

Big Smile Yep! My boys already have this plan for Babe. It's true, it's an excuse for them to get drunk, but I think it's a great idea. Makes Babygirl not all about me. She's half his after all. Yes

I was actually thinking of having my husband do one!  My brother-in-law had one, my nephew was born in December and they still haven't had to buy diapers!!
