The most creative ways to display cupcakes

On an old ladder

Line the ladder with coloured fabric and stack the a cupcakes along each rung for guests to take their pick

Cupcake Hunt

Have a Cupcake Hunt! You can give your guests clues or let them fend for themselves. This is obviously better done inside the house to avoid ant covered cupcakes, otherwise don’t hide them until just before the game.

Line the hallway

When it’s nearing the end of your party, have someone line the cupcakes along the hallway to the door. Guests can take one on the way out. Just make sure the pets are locked up!

Staircase

Similar to the one above, put a cupcake (or a couple) on each stair for guests to take on the way out.

Car Windscreens

Pretty ridiculous but have someone pop out towards the end of the party and put a cupcake or two on each guest’s car. Then hope it doesn’t rain for more reasons than one!

In a chest of drawers

Label each drawer with a different flavour and let your guests pick their favorite

On a bookshelf or dresser

Display on a bookshelf - make it a feature

Spin the bottle/Cupcake Roulette

Design your own

For kids parties, sit them at a table and let them decorate their own cupcakes, keeps them occupied for a while.

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

Dress up Parties!

You either love them or hate them. I LOVE them! My partner hates (secretly loves) them! 

As a kid, my sisters and I used to dress up every weekend. Our dress up chest consisted of everything from pirate costumes, olden day peasant costumes, 80's Madonna/Kylie outfits to bridesmaid and wedding dresses. My Dad would spend most of the weekend painting our faces and making molded witch noses and the like for us. To this day we still have a dress up cupboard at mum's place, which I took the pleasure of organising into labelled bags and hangers to make it easier to find an appropriate outfit.
A dress up party can lift the mood of every guest and take the party to a whole new level of excitement!

I know a lot of people once receiving the invite and dreaded words "dress up" on it, cringe and moan and cuss, however once embraced even if it's just a hat or feather boa, the inner child comes out.

And in the end, the less effort you put into your costume the more you stand out at the party, so you're better off going the whole hog! This doesn't mean you have to go out and spend a fortune on hiring a costume, Seconds shops, Reject shops and even the humble charity shops are ideal places to find props and apparel for your themed party.
So next time you have the pleasure of being invited to a dress up party, embrace it, get creative and be young again!
