To make it even worse, the "diaper party" is hosted by the relative's mother and the baby has already been born!

Wow - that's a lot of etiquette violations in one party. In my family, we love babies, first, second or third, and parties, so we'll have a tea in celebration. Now, many people will bring gifts (how much fun is it to shop for baby gifts?) but technically it is NOT a shower. One thing I like about baby #2 and so on - you can concentrate on buying cute clothes because the necessities have been taken care of with baby #1.
