A diaper raffle is one of the most popular baby shower games — and for good reason. It encourages guests to bring diapers (which new parents desperately need!) while giving everyone a chance to win a prize. But traditional paper raffle tickets? They're messy, time-consuming, and honestly a little outdated.
Enter the digital diaper raffle. With a tool like My Diaper Raffle, you can create a beautiful raffle page in under two minutes, share it with a link or QR code, and draw a winner at the shower with a fun confetti animation. Here's exactly how to do it.
Step 1: Create Your Raffle Page
Head to MyDiaperRaffle.com and sign up for a free account. Click "Create Your Raffle" and fill in the basics: your baby's name (or a fun nickname!), the shower date, and a short description. Then pick a theme — we have beautiful options like Woodland Friends, Garden Party, and Little One.
Next, set your diapers-per-ticket ratio. This determines how many raffle tickets each guest gets based on the number of diapers they bring. A common ratio is 1 ticket per 10 diapers — so a guest bringing 30 diapers gets 3 tickets. Don't worry, every guest gets at least 1 ticket no matter what!
Step 2: Share with Your Guests
Once your raffle is created, you'll get a unique shareable link and a downloadable QR code. Here's how to share it:
- •On printed invitations: Include the QR code so guests can scan and enter right from the invite
- •Via text or group chat: Send the link in your shower planning group chat
- •By email: Include the link in your digital invitation
- •On social media: Share it in a private event or group
The best part? Guests can enter from any device — phone, tablet, or computer. No app download required.
Step 3: Watch the Entries Roll In
As guests enter, you can track all entries from your host dashboard. You'll see each guest's name, email, how many diapers they're bringing, and how many raffle tickets they've earned. It's all automatic — no manual counting needed.
Step 4: Draw a Winner at the Shower
This is the fun part! At your baby shower, open your raffle dashboard on any device (a tablet or laptop works great for everyone to see). Hit the "Draw Winner" button and watch the magic happen — there's a drumroll animation, the winner is revealed, and confetti fills the screen!
The drawing is weighted by ticket count, so guests who brought more diapers have better odds. But since everyone gets at least 1 ticket, there's always a chance for the underdog!
