Diaper Baby Shower Invitations
I know this sounds like a no-brainer, but having the right diaper bag can make life so much easier when you are on the go with baby. Shopping for a diaper bag is like shopping for a new purse. You want to find something that appeals to you and works with your wardrobe and style, but you have to keep a few things in mind. You’re not buying a cute little wristlet to carry your keys and money in anymore. This bag has to be equipped to hold the essential baby-gear, which seems to be everything but the kitchen sink. In fact, here is a list of items you are probably going to need to lug around with you for the first year, at least.
- Diapers – hence the name “diaper bag”
- baby wipes
- bottles/sippy cup
- baby food/formula/snacks
- change of clothing (at least for the newborns and infants)
- pacifier/favorite toy or blanket
- car keys
- cell phone
- wallet
- hand sanitizer
And this was just off the top of my head!
In addition, you want a diaper bag that is comfortable for you to carry. There are so many fashionable diaper bags out there today and different styles to appeal to everyones liking.
For instance, you can now find a backpack designed specifically as a diaper bag. This style is great because you can throw the backpack on your back and your arms are free to carry the baby.
Another popular style is the diaper bag resembling a messenger bag, allowing you to wear it across-your-chest for comfort. And, of course, you can still find the traditional tote, slouch and hobo styles. And don’t worry, Dad, they make diaper bags just for you too.
And like everything else today, these diaper bags come with accessories, you can find most with adjustable straps, washable material, matching changing pad, interior and exterior compartments and every name brand, print and pattern you can think of. Just be prepared to pay the designer price tag for the designer diaper bag.
My last suggestion I would make is, if you intend on using your stroller often, choose a bag that attaches or fits nicely on your stroller. Something you can strap on to the stroller or fits in the storage basket, but won’t cause the stroller to tip over.

I Need Baby Shower Help?
Im 6 months pregnant- Due April 19th.
My Baby Shower is scheduled for sometime in March.
I dont know the sex of the baby- and I wont be able to find out until I give birth. (When I went to find out- The babys legs were crossed)
I would rather for people NOT to buy baby clothes for my baby shower- Since we dont know what it is. I wanna save the clothes shopping for later and pick it out myself.
Would it be “tacky” to specifically ask for something in the Baby Shower Invitations- Like diapers or formula? Or something along those lines that either a boy or girl could use.
I dont want to be too forward- What should I do?
Don’t just rely on your registry for people to get the hint about what you want. We just had our shower Saturday and very few people even looked at our registry. We got tons of clothes and blankets but no bottles, diapers, etc. If I were you, I’d just call the shower something more like “Necessity Shower” then explain it by saying, “Please shower the expectant couple with only diapers, wipes, or formula.”
Good luck!
