Has anyone heard of the clothes pin game? I just wondering what it is and how you play.
Just wondering.
 
Sounds interesting, I hope someone will tell us what it is.
 
The Clothespin Game



As each guest arrives, hand him or her a clothespin. Tell them to attach it to themselves in an obvious spot, and each time they “catch” another guest crossing or uncrossing their legs through out the evening, they can “steal” that guest’s clothespin(s). This definitely keeps the party from getting too “formal”. Whoever has collected the most clothespins at the end of your presentation gets a gift!


For a twist, (I did this for a bride-to-be hostess), have each guest write a message for the hostess on their clothespin. Give all the clothespins to her and the next time she hangs out laundry, she will be reminded of them!

I've seen that done at a bridal shower. If you hear anyone say anything to do with a wedding, ex: bride,groom,wedding, cake or flowers you can steal from them.
 
Its a really cute idea, not my own, I got it off a party games site.....
