baby shower- clothes line...

[willrun4wine]

how have you seen it done?
I am hosting my sisters baby shower and want to do this.
I was going to hang a clothes line and hang up all the clothes she gets as gifts.
My mom just called and she wants to put some clothes on a clothesline in a hamper/basket and have that as the first gift she opens. And then I will hang it.
I"m thinking I can add to it also as she opens gifts.
I can't remember how it's usually done.
Does that sound right?

I did this for my bffs baby shower, but I hung up the clothes beforehand so it acted as part of the decorations. I've never been to a shower where they hang the clothes as they go.

I've done it both ways - hosted a shower with the clothesline as part of the decor (I used a very wide satin ribbon and painted clothespins to hang several coordinating outfits bought to complement the decorations), and been to a shower with the basket with the clothesline as a gift. I'd think about doing them separately - I'm a control freak about shower decor and I'd want it all to coordinate.
