John-David Duggar welcomed his daughter, Gracie, along with wife Abbie Duggar. While everyone was happy about the latest addition to the big family, the guys thought it was time to have a special celebration for John. The boys had previously planned on having a baby shower celebration for John but things took a turn when Gracie decided to come earlier than her due date.

Despite this, Ben Seewald and Joseph Duggar thought they should continue with the plan they had in mind. The two decided to name the celebration "Dad-chelor" which is like a bachelor's party but with the theme of becoming a new dad. Ben and Joseph thought it would be a nice way to bring all the boys together while also celebrating the occasion. 

The pair thought the best way to have a nice time was by having good food and games. While they had everything sorted with food, they were thinking of a game that would prove to be fun while also involving the theme in it. After a lot of discussions, the two decided it would be a good idea to have diaper hoops at the party. 

Ben joked that one of the duties of a new dad is to learn how to throw a diaper into the bin. They thought it would be a nice way for John to learn how to do it while also making sure that guys who are not parents will have a fun time. Without wasting any time, Ben started filling the diapers with water so that they are ready on time for the party. 

Once everything was organized, the guys started showing up one by one. Ben and Joseph also had special T-shirts organized for the party. Right from dad jokes to T-shirts with witty one-liners, it looked like Ben and Joseph had everything in place. Everyone then went on to play the diaper hoops. 

After some time, things got intense as everyone wanted to win. However, the end result left everyone happy as they decided to enjoy the time rather than make it a competition. The day ended with the guys having a nice dinner and enjoying the time together. 

'Counting On' airs on Tuesdays at 9 pm ET on TLC.
