April Fools Day Wedding Pranks

Tuesday April 1, 2008
If you haven't looked at a calendar yet, or already been tricked, it's April Fools Day today! Weddings are ripe for April Fools Day jokes, as they involve stressed out people trying to keep track of too many details. But you also need to be careful around those stressed out people, as taking a joke too far might cause violence.

Here are a few ideas for low-risk April Fools Day Wedding Pranks:

• Call your bridesmaids and tell them they need to sign a bridesmaid contract, agreeing that they won't change their hair, gain or lose weight, or otherwise alter their appearance before the wedding.

• Tell your spouse-to-be that you've made a major decision about the wedding that you know they won't like, but that it's too late as you've already put down a deposit. For example, you might tell your refined future spouse that you've hired a punk rock band for the reception, or you might tell a very casual person that there will be a 10-piece orchestra.

• Call your parents and tell them that you've eloped!

What are your ideas for creative April Fools Day wedding pranks?
