We all adore baby showers, but they’re traditionally reserved for moms and their female friends. So why not arrange a party specifically for the dads and their male friends to honor them?
Men’s baby showers are becoming increasingly popular, and with good cause. It’s a delightful opportunity for the soon-to-be dad’s friends, family, and coworkers to celebrate the pregnancy. A diaper party is one of the nicest ways to celebrate.
Diaper Party Ideas
A diaper party is a fun and easy way for expectant fathers to celebrate their new baby. Diaper parties are sometimes referred to as “dadchelor parties,” “men showers,” or “baby stag.”
A baby shower for guys is all about honoring the soon-to-be father by showering him with all of his favorite things. Guests usually send a pack of diapers and sometimes some wipes to assist the expectant parents in stocking up on crucial baby items.
This is a low-key get-together for males to socialize and have a good time. In comparison to a baby shower, where the men celebrate with simple food and beer, a diaper party is more uncomplicated.
If you are new to the guy baby shower idea, as well as a diaper party, we break down the logistics of what a diaper shower and all the how-tos on how to throw an awesome diaper party in no time.
Party Venue
You’ll need to decide where the celebration will be held. This is usually done in someone’s backyard or at their home.
The diaper party can be held at a location with several activities for more elaborate celebrations. Consider arranging the diaper party at a country club where the father-to-be can play a round of golf with his pals before dining at the restaurant if he is a golf aficionado.
Other excellent locations are a sporting event or a favorite club. One thing to keep in mind is that if you plan on drinking at the party, you’ll want to make sure that the venue allows it.
Party Theme
Men’s baby showers are typically unthemed. They are just get-togethers where people can socialize and have a good time. You may simply arrange a themed party if you want to liven things up a little. The following are some excellent choices:
- BBQ and Beer
- Pizza
- Diaper Raffle
- Poker and Pints
- Dadchelor Party
- Burgers, Babies, and Beer
- Chuggies and Huggies
- BYOD (Bring Your Own Diapers)
- A Baby is Brewing
- Diapers Brew and Shooting TooHel
Party Food & Drink Ideas
Consider basic food that you can eat with your hands when hosting a diaper party. The most popular foods are hamburgers, wings, hot dogs, tacos, and pizza, but you can also make sandwiches, dips, or even just snacks.
The most popular beverage to provide is beer, but you can also serve cocktails or hard alcohol if you choose. I always recommend having lots of water and soda available in case your guests don’t want to drink.
Store-bought cookies or a cake are excellent options for dessert. There’s no need for expensive pastries!

Diaper party games can be as simple as playing the father-to-be’s favorite board games. For example, you can have the guys gather around to play poker or Cards Against Humanity.
If the father-to-be is a gamer, you can throw a diaper party featuring various video games. Multiplayer games like Mario Kart and Super Mash Bros. for the Nintendo Switch are always super fun options. If there are guests who live out of state and can’t make it to the party, you can always include them by playing online games like Among Us and Castle Crashers.
For diaper party game ideas that will get everyone up and moving, lawn games like cornhole or spikeball are easy to set up and fun to play.
If you want to have more baby-themed games at the dadchelor party, here are some great ideas:
Chugging Contest
Grab some baby bottles and fill them with beer to see who can drink it the fastest.
Diaper Changing Challenge
Blindfold the guests and give them all a baby doll and a diaper to see who can change their baby’s diaper the fastest. We can all use more practice on changing a diaper with the baby coming.
Pop the Belly
Give the dads a chance to know what pregnancy feels like with this pop the baby game! Each guest puts a balloon under their shirt and has to figure out how to pop it without anything sharp. The first one that pops their balloon wins.
If you choose to have games at your dadchelor party, it is always fun to have prizes. These can be simple like an awesome beer flavor or a gift certificate to a restaurant.
