Is today UO day? I have one...

I hate diaper cakes! I don't think it's cute, what a rolled up diaper mess and all the time it took someone to put it together! 

The shower I went to last weekend, I sheet you not she got three! Three. A cake, bike, and a wreath. Her mom kept saying 'oh, she will have those forever hanging in the room' ... I would unwrap it and use it.

Did you get one? Do you make them? Tell me about it :)  

Also, at said shower we played the game 'write a message on the diaper for a late night change' I wouldn't like that either, I don't want writing on their little butts.

  • I think they're cute, but not for decoration.  Those things should be taken apart right away and used before opening any other pack of diapers (assuming they're the right size).  

    I had one at my shower, but since I CD, my sister actual

  • Eh...I could take them or leave them. I would most definitely never keep that stuff around the house. It would get taken apart and used. I won't ever see that as being a decoration. Ever.

  • My MIL made me one for my shower and it was a cute surprise. I didn't keep it together though. It was taken apart before I brought it home and the diapers are in a bin.

    I made one for my BFF's shower a couple years ago. I used diapers from the brand she registered for, in various sizes. I put useful little things with it as decor. She used every diapers and everything I put on it. That's

  • I don't really have an opinion on diaper cakes, but I agree, Id take it apart and use it! Especially with how expensive diapers are.

    What I really don't like are the realistic baby shaped cakes. I saw a video of one and it was hard to watch them

  • I got one and I hated it. There were 9 million pins and even more elastics. I took it apart and I threw out the cloths they used. I probably won't even use the diapers due to the insane amt of elastics.

  • I don't really mind them. I think it can be a cute way to give diapers. I wouldn't take the time to make one though. I got two (a cake and a bike) which I took apart.

  • I got a wreath at mine.  I've used most of the little baby stuff that was attached to it, but didn't use any of the diapers because there was hot glue stuck to all of them

  • Meh.  Don't love them, don't hate them.  Unless they're utterly useless like MOA's.  I got a basket of diapers and wipes, which was fine.  She put in NB and size 2.  I ended up giving away the size 2's bc we switched to cloth afte

  • I got diaper cakes from my MIL for both my girls. My MIL makes them to be taken apart, she used baby bottles for the structure and decorated it with things we would use like lanolin, butt paste, pacis, some toys, etc.

  • Someone sent me one, made out of burp cloths and receiving blankets. It was nice, but she sent it after A was born and I already had a million of both of those things. I would have preferred diapers, since I could have used them. Now I just have a billion
