Come as You're Caught

Our church youth group had a 'come as you're caught' night 20+ yrs ago. It was advertised so everybody could keep the date but nobody knew who was doing the 'catching out' or at what time. Lots of fun and avoiding phone calls.

The "catchers" went to swim squad, sports games, workplaces, everywhere to catch a guest and bring them to the party. A few were'nt too inventive of course- one guy was caught in the shower so he just wore the clothes he was or claimed he was about to put on! Should have had a costume made from a shower curtain or worn a towel with a shower cap! But it sure was a good night.

Lisa says: What a fun party - sort of a "come as you are" for sure, sometimes called a "kidnap party" where you go out and catch your guest and bring them to the party. I know it was lots of fun! Thanks for sharing!
