How to Use These Poems
A few tips for adding a diaper raffle poem to your invitation:
- •Digital invitations: Paste the poem as a separate section below the main invite text. Most e-invite platforms (Paperless Post, Evite, Canva) let you add a second text block.
- •Printed invitations: Include the poem on a small insert card (3.5×5 inches) tucked inside the envelope. This keeps the main invitation clean.
- •Group chats or texts: Just paste the poem directly. The line breaks and rhyme make it scan well even without fancy formatting.
If your shower uses a digital diaper raffle, add the raffle link or QR code right below the poem so guests know where to enter. For the non-poem approach, check out our diaper raffle wording guide with 14 copy-paste examples.

Frequently Asked Questions
What do you write on a diaper raffle card?
A diaper raffle card typically has a short poem or message explaining that guests should bring diapers for a chance to win a prize. Keep it brief — 2 to 4 lines is ideal. Example: "Bring a pack of diapers, any size will do / For a chance to win a prize, just for you!"
How do you announce a diaper raffle on an invitation?
Add a short poem or wording blurb as a separate section on your invitation, or include a small insert card. The message should explain what to bring (diapers), what they get (raffle ticket), and what they can win (a prize). Keep it optional and fun, not demanding.
Can you use a diaper raffle poem for a boy or girl shower?
Most diaper raffle poems are gender-neutral by default. To personalize for a boy or girl shower, replace placeholder text like "[baby name]" with the actual name, or add a line like "for our little princess" or "for our little man." The poems in this list work for any shower theme.
