Which word would you choose?

Could you tll me which are correct?

The party was a wrap at 1am./was wrapped up at 1am.

Is that hat not humiliating/shameful enough. You want to wear a pink tie to go with it.

Please follow the diversion / [route]. This road is blocked off.

“If the baby food doesn’t feel hot to your lips, then it’s not too warm for the baby (to) eat.”

I haven't fed a baby in perhaps 37 years, but I remember testing bottles and cooked cereal with my mouth or lips, so yes. The lips are particularly sensitive to heat.
