Crashing my buddy's wedding

[chrisms]

Actually I take back what I said. You should avoid doing a prank not because it would be wrong to do at a wedding, becaus your ideas suck and I don't think you are a natural prankster.

Whoopie cushion - a loud farting noise followed by an embarrassed groom and a crowd politely not acknowledging it, meaning he is blamed for a loud fart that is never made clear to have been a prank.

Bugs in ice - obviously not real bugs, who the hell actually finds a bug in their ice cube. People look at them thinking "thats strange" but the desired laugh-out-loud group of people circling around the ice cubes will never happen.

Firecrackers - loud explosions startle everyone, but nothing actually causes any laughter. It isn't funny, just surprising.

knock the cake over before they get a chance to cut into it and say "baahaha, got you bitch!" and run out the door.

You need to come to the cold, hard realization that you need to not do this. No matter how much you want to, no matter how much hilarity you imagine ensuing, all you are going to do is piss everyone off.

Wait, I'm supposed to have a speech? They haven't told me that yet, doh.

Note that I'm talking about pulling stuff at the reception, not the ceremony; I wouldn't think of disturbing the ceremony. "Crashing" was an over-dramatization... I'm not looking to do any attention whoring, just to cause minor disturbances that leaves people wondering who did it.

You must lead an extremely sheltered life to not know that as the best man you're supposed to do a speech at a wedding. Grow up. Neither the ceremony nor the reception is the place to pull pranks. Go to the hot deals section and find a deal on a clue. You need one. If one of my guys did that to me at my wedding/reception, they would have become dead to me.

I think we need some poll.

Here's a fun one in good taste. I did this at a buddy's wedding a few years ago.

Go to an ace hardware and buy 30 key blanks. Buy two buckets, and put the bride's name on one bucket, and the groom's name on another bucket. When you get to the wedding, hand out 29 of the keys to any women present. Find the oldest guy that you can at the wedding - preferably older than 70, with a walker or cane is a plus. Tell them about your plan, which is the following:

Tell the DJ you want to make an anouncement before anyone else speaks. Tell him it will take less than 5 minutes - most DJ's will be cool with this. When you get the mic, say something along the lines of you know how faithful the groom is going to be to his bride, and fo that reason, you need all the ladies that had keys to his place to return them now. Watch all the women come up and drop the keys in the bucket. After that, say the bride is going to be just as faithful, so it's time for all the guys to bring the key to her place and put it in the bucket. hilarity ensues when the old fart hobbles up to the bucket and drops his key.

variations of this can be done, such as having the brides grandmother drop a key in the bucket, or the groom's grandfather, or if there's a token gay guy at the wedding, have him drop a key in the bucket of the groom's

This is not your day to be center of attention. Leave the pranks for the bachelor party.

You all ran the OP off.

 

[mikej007]

The OP followed through with his wonderful ideas, and got stabbed in the eye with a fork by the bride and is now deceased. Please forward any and all replies to this thread to his next of kin.

My buddy is getting married in a few days, and I'm best man. I want to see to it that it's memorable, so I'm looking for some ideas of pranks for the reception. They need to be clean, and shouldn't use anything too off-the-wall--if I don't have the required materials, I'll probably only have time to get some stuff at Walmart.

Some examples of things I'm already working on: Fake ice cubes with bugs visible inside them, for the punch. Remote controlled "whoopee cushion" to hide under his chair. Booby-trapping various objects with string-trigger firecrackers, hopefully the knife for the bride/groom's cake will be able to trigger one when he picks it up

this is a wedding, not a bachelor party or a college party or a birthday party or any other party you think playing pranks on is cool.
If you do, don't be surprised that you'll be the only one laughing while the rest of the people look at you thinking what an idiot

updates?

Do us all a favor and call your buddy, then ask if he could give you an idea of what the reception will cost.

Then stop and think if you REALLY want to try and ruin it for people.

If I was your buddy, and you were doing things like this at my reception, the only one laughing would be the person who examines your rented tux as you explain the blood stains on the shirt from your broken face.

ummm.... your date is the maid of honor.

Better hope your friend's fiancee has hot friends.

 

[letdown427]

It might be just because I'm English, but I didn't find any of your OP 'pranks' funny. You'll briefly be remembered as an utter c0ck, and then cast away from the couple as being 'that guy who...'

That would be awesome to do at the rehersal. If any of my friends ever get maried outside of wow I might do that.

I've seen this done before, its great!

OP youre a fool, don't do it!

Update: When I got there, I realized that the bride and her family had put wayyyy too much into it, and I sure didn't feel like spoiling anything for them. While I kind of fell down on my job as best man (didn't protect the planted "getaway car", didn't give a speech, etc), the groom didn't really care--he didn't know any more about weddings than I did, he was just along for the ride. The wedding was casual, with an outdoor ceremony and indoor reception. It went smoothly from start to finish, and the bride and groom had a smashing time on their honeymoon. Everyone's happy all around
