My SIL was invited to a baby shower and they are doing a "diaper wall" instead of a wishing well. I've never heard of this. Does she just bring a box of diapers instead of a wishing well gift? TIA!

A box of diapers, even a small one, is much more money then what people usually spend on the wishing well gift. I'm surprised people are asking people to do this.

^ agreed.

Besides they will likely end up with a ton of small sized diapers

Completely agree. I've always thought that "stocking up" on diapers prior to birth is a bad idea.

Thanks ladies! I agree I think asking this is a bit ridiculous. I'm going to tell her to buy a small package of size 2 or 3 diapers. I never even heard of thus before and think the little wishing well gifts are much more useful than getting a ton of diapers that you may not be able to use all of.

You can exchange unopened dealers for a diff size at most stores. I don't think it's a big deal,if she doesn't want to buy diapers she doesn't have to. I doubt they will even notice.

We did this for mine, but it was called a diaper pyramid. It's in the place of a wishing well. I got all different sizes and didn't have to buy diapers until DS was 6 months. It was a huge help!

I have to say I think the exact opposite. I think it's a great idea and more practical than a wishing well. We didnt do this at mine but I did attend one where they asked for diapers and wipes instead of a wishing well. Loved the idea

My mom did this for my shower...We got a ton of varying sizes...it was so nice I didn't buy diapers until my twins were 9 months.

If you think it is a big deal just spend a little less than you would typically on the gift.

I had something similar for my shower. Wishing well/diaper wall is always an option... no something anyone has to participate in. We got a ton of diapers sized newborn-2 and aside from 2 packs of size 2 we used them all. I plan to give those packs to my friends DD who is in that size.

I think it's a great idea. You can never have too many diapers.

The stuff that gets put in a wishing well is usually cheap products from the .99 store that no person in their right mind would use. Its all cheap toxic stuff.
I had a build a library in lieu of the wishing well. Diaper wall sounds kool too. I think its a great idea!

Actually i did not get anything cheap from the .99 store in my wishing well with the exception of maybe 1 or 2 things that were no name and did not use them. And most of the people i know got some really great stuff in their wishing well. I think a library is a good idea but i am not a fan of this diaper thing. It doesn't matter to me since it's not me going to this shower but i never heard of it and I'm just not a fan.
