Diaper Party? Who pays?

| My DH wants to throw himself a diaper party, or have one of his friends help him organize one. I think all he really wants is basically one last hurrah with his friends before baby arrives. I think he wants to host it at our house during a Nats game and do something simple like pizza and beer. But who pays for the food and beer, us? I guess it sort of defeats the purpose of collecting diapers since the cost of the food negates the savings of the diapers? My mom paid for my baby shower. Maybe I’m overthinking? |

| WTF is a diaper party? Honestly, he sounds ridiculous and self-absorbed. |

| Do it, just don't include the diaper part. I promise, the guys want to get together for pizza, beer, and the game, but they do not want to participate in a diaper party. And yes, if you're hosting, you pay. |

I will leave it to you two to figure out why you're calling it that.
He wants a party at home? Sure. He can pay for it like a grown-up! NOT EVERYTHING SURROUNDING A WEDDING OR BABY SHOULD BE A GIFT GRAB. |

| Your husband is tacky and cheap. Not everything is a mercenary gift grab. If you want to have friends over for food and to watch a game, you pay for it. You do not turn it into some weird made-up "diaper party." |

| I've never heard of a diaper party. I agree with others about hosting something at your house. If you don't want to cover all the expenses, just make it a pot luck and have people sign up to bring different things like chips, drinks, etc. and host can provide pizza instead of the diapers, especially if you already had a baby shower. |

| Have him send out the registry link with the invite. Ridiculous men are getting off the hook on gifts again . . . |

| Have all the guys wear Depends to simulate the diapers. |

| This sounds like the tackiest thing I’ve ever heard of!! Do not throw a party where you don’t pay for food or drinks and ask people to bring gifts! FWIW, you don’t throw your own shower which is what this is. |

1. It is tacky for a relative to host a shower. 2. A diaper party is even tackier than your mother hosting your gift grab. |
