Make a busy coat area easier to use when several visitors arrive with similar dark jackets. Gather pairs of numbered paper tags, clothespins, a coat rack, and a small dish.
Set it up
Write each number on two tags and attach one tag gently to a hanger or clothespin rather than the clothing itself.
Put the idea to work
Give the matching tag to the guest and hang their coat in the corresponding position with any scarf kept together.
Finish and keep it useful
Place a dish near the exit for returned tags and keep one unnumbered hanger free for a late arrival. Do not pierce fabric with pins or attach strong adhesive directly to a guest garment.
Where could matching coat tags make arrival and departure easier at your gathering?
