How to make a fabulous feature out of your clothes line at a party

We all have one and you can’t exactly unbolt it from the wall or lift it out of the ground when you decide to have a party at home.

Here are some great ideas on how to make a fabulous feature out of your clothesline for a party.

Photo Display

Peg your favourite or relevant photos to it, we catered for a wedding who perfected this method. See photo below

Name Tags

If you are seating guests peg their names in alphabetical order with their table number included so that everyone knows where they are going

Lolly Bags

For kids parties, peg the lolly bags to the line as an incentive for being great guests and they receive it on their way out!

Piñata

Tie a  Piñata to it and let your guests swing away

Clothesline Roulette

This is specifically for the hills hoist owners, peg numbers (names or categories) around the line, let the guests place their bets, stand in position and swing the line.

Truth or Dare

Peg the words truth or dare around the line and let the guests swing to find out what their fate is.

Garage/Clothes Sale

Hang your clothes on the line with price tags and let customers take their pick

Tent/Cubby House

Separate the kids from the adults with their own “Special” area!

Bar

Set the bar up underneath and hang some decorations from it with some bunting or signage indicating “BAR” for the guests easy access

Hang Plants or Lanterns

Hang plants, lanterns, bunting, wind chimes, fairy lights or paper pom poms from them, or plant a climbing vine at the post and let it work its way up and around the lines.

The NEW Wishing Well

Instruct Guests to peg their cards to the clothesline, decorate with coloured fabric and flowers.

Sprinkle flower petals underneath to make it prettier!

Weather proof

If you are stretched for space, cover the clothesline with a tarp to protect your guests from unwanted rain, hail or shine!

Music

Stick the DJ under it and hang some glow sticks etc from it.

Theme Parties
Have a hat party and hang them from the line for guests to pick one 
Make a tent for a fortune teller, tarot reader, make it into a haunted house

Baby Showers/Hen's Parties
Have the guests pin their advice on it
