Let’s face it, sometimes weddings can drag a little, especially during the speeches. Whether you have a wedding on April 1st or enjoy a good prank all year round, we have some funny wedding prank ideas for you that could leave your wedding guests wailing with laughter and make for a day of great fun.
We do advise you proceed with caution, as a prank gone too far is no fun at all!
If you are celebrating your wedding day abroad with us whether it be in Greece, Las Vegas, Cyprus, the Caribbean, Mexico or elsewhere, we have the perfect prank ideas.
Last minute officiant
Surprise your wedding guests with a last minute officiant. If you want someone close to you to officiate your wedding, have the best man be ordained and ‘step in’ at the last minute as if the officiary never turned up. It will make for lots of laughs for your guests.
Elvis officiant
If you’re having a Las Vegas Wedding an Elvis officiant is a must! You and your guests will love the novelty and are guaranteed a great time.
Funny Cake Pranks
Typically the bride and groom cut the first piece of the wedding cake and messily feed it to each other. You could have your best man and maid of honour stand next to you and unknowingly smash it in their faces instead. They won’t see it coming!
Another funny cake related prank that will have guests in (mock) shock is having a decoy cake that purposefully falls to the floor and gets ruined. The gasps and sense of relief from the guests when the real cake appears will be sure to have everyone in stitches.
Bouquet trick
It’s tradition for the bride to throw flowers behind her shoulder for all her friends to try and catch. For a twist on this, attach a piece of string to the flowers and tug it back towards you so no one manages to catch it. It will temporarily frustrate your friends into fits of giggles, and most importantly make for a good laugh for the bride.
First dance
Start your first dance with a meaningful and romantic love song, only to have the DJ shut it off shortly afterwards. If you stand there looking around confused until the DJ surprisingly puts on a rhythmic banger, and then break into a choreographed dance, everyone will be ready for a boogie.
Last minute officiant
Surprise your wedding guests with a last minute officiant. If you want someone close to you to officiate your wedding, have the best man be ordained and ‘step in’ at the last minute as if the officiary never turned up. It will make for lots of laughs for your guests.
Lost rings
Team up with your best man for a lost ring prank. Have your best man pretend he can’t find the rings and start rummaging through his pockets. Your bride’s heart may skip a bit but she will be relieved and hopefully laugh once the rings are revealed.
Have a guest make an‘OBJECTION’ to the ceremony
Prank your groom and your guests by having one of the guests object to the wedding as the vows are about to be exchanged. You could hire a fake ‘boyfriend’ and have them object from the aisles. Just be sure to let the bride know that it’s a prank before they chase after the objector!
The first look surprise
The trend of the bride and groom meeting before the ceremony for a ‘first look’ has made for a lot of internet laughs, as brides prank their grooms with funny costumes or send the best man in their place in full wedding dress attire. This always helps settle any pre-wedding nerves.
