Dadchelor Party: Baby Shower Ideas for Dads

How to celebrate the dad-to-be with style.

Dads deserve celebration too. Here's how to throw a "dadchelor" party or diaper party.

What Is a Dadchelor Party?

A casual gathering for the dad-to-be and his friends, often called a "diaper party" or "man shower."

Typical Format

  • BBQ, poker night, or sports watching party
  • Each guest brings a pack of diapers
  • Beer, food, and quality time
  • No games required (unless the group wants them)

Gift Expectations

Pack of diapers (any size), six-pack of beer, or contribution to a "dad gear" fund.

Low-key works best: Most dads don't want a traditional "shower" format. Keep it casual.
