Ideas for wedding night room jokes

58 replies

We are shortly going to a wedding and dh and some friends are planing to do something to the room, we are all staying the night in the same hotel. There idea was to wreck the room, which I dont think is a very nice thing to do, my style would be to make it pretty, petals etc, but it is DH's friend who is getting married, so perhaps a bit too girly. So DH suggested I ask on Mumsnet.

Somebody mentioned to me that there is a way to make a bed which makes it very hard to get into, I guess it depends if it is done with sheets etc, anyone have any idea?

So please if you have any ideas that wont ruin the couples big day please let me know.

We had the traditional kippers, shaving foam, toilet rolls and tin cans on the car but they arent going away on honeymoon. By the way, havent seen this done for ages, do people still do that.

ohhhhh, who said we were going to do anything criminal, not me certainly.

Perhaps you should all read what I said in my first request.

Somthing lighthearted, funny but certainly not something that would wreck their day. And I asked for ideas for things not to do in their room.

I got the answer I wanted, they way to make the bed that makes it hard to get into, so thank your to JonesTheSteam for that. I think that is perfectly harmless and that is all I wanted + any other ideas that you may have had.

The idea to wreck the room was thought up by a group of single men, dh got involved and said no we couldnt do that and asked me for some advice, so it was never going to happen, I just wanted some advice on nice things to do but not too girly.

I think a fairly tame idea is to put confetti in their bed.... it will take them a little while to get it out but it's not going to 'spoil' their night!

The tealights would be a fab idea on the floor making a word but a) you'd need to do them just before they retire and b) there could be a fire!!!

We put confetti in my Mum and Step Dads' suitcase when they got married. Put it fairly far down so that they wouldn't see it when doing last min packing but would see it at the other end when they unpacked - it went everywhere apparently!

My Mum (and his Mum) put a toy spider and snake in my DH's suitcase which was kind of funny as we went to the far east for the first part of our HM. He nearly crapp*d himself when he opened his case and I laughed for days - he too saw the funny side!!

I think it's a good idea but needs to be tame - just a little something to get them laughing. Unfortunately I too have a juvenile DH (one wedding I went to (friend of his) some of the guys put sand in their bed ) and another shaving foam - not nice

We safety-pinned the curtains of the b and g's 4-poster together. It really worried them - they had no idea what they were going to find! In the end all it was was confetti everywhere, flavoured sex toys of various sorts hidden between the sheets, and a comic Kama Sutra under the pillow.

Unfortunately someone else had got into the room earlier and cling-filmed the toilet. Fortunately I found it (when I tied the water-filled condom to the bathroom light-pull ) and removed it. Apparently someone else got in later and loosened the bolts holding the toilet seat onto the loo itself!

AttilaTheMeerkat · 30/10/2006 16:25

Am sorry but even tampering with the sheets is to me both juvenile and tacky. Leave them alone!!!.

At least they're not going to wreak the room. It should have been pointed out to that particular person that the hotel would have sought payment for damage most liekly from either the couple or the organiser. Many hoteliers do not take kindly to such things even in jest.

zippitippitoes · 30/10/2006 16:28

I wouldn't want my bed tampered with either!

I would not find it funny just upsetting and irritating..

kikki · 30/10/2006 17:19

A jewish taxi driver told me that on his wedding night he put the largest carrot he could find in the hotel bed and when his new wife got into bed and felt it under the sheets she ran to the bathroom and locked herself in there for hours. He was her first partner and he thought that she would see the funny side. Anyway, they have been married for almost 50 years now and have three children so I guess she got the joke eventually.

sunnydelight · 30/10/2006 17:29

We nearly missed our honeymoon when DH's brother and some of his mates decided to tie our car to a tree. The windows were left partly opened to allow for the rope and it rained so all the seats were soaking. We couldn't just leave it, but by the time we sorted it and got to the airport our flight had closed - I was hysterical; luckily someone took pity on us and we arrived at the plane, clutching our luggage, just as the landbridge was being disconnected. The bed thing sounds funny, but if you're any kind of mate make sure the boys leave it at that!

hulababy · 30/10/2006 17:35

Not sure wedding night is best night for pranks. The couple will be shattered to start with, and who wants to start the marrriage off trying to clean and re-tidy their honeymoon suite before they can leave the next day.

Something lovely and nice - yes, by all means. Champagne, strawberries, a bit of confetti (but not all over - otherwise tidying issue again), balloons etc. But nothing pranksterish!

hana · 30/10/2006 17:47

not for the bedroom but car
tip some talcum powder into air vents then wipe up any trace

next time they put fans on it's blowing all ove rth eplace for days and days and days

of couse don't endorse this sort of behaviour at all........

SoupDragon · 31/10/2006 12:16

Er... inhaling talc is not good for your health.

AttilaTheMeerkat · 31/10/2006 12:19

hana

I should hope that you do not endorse such behaviours either.

I would also hope that the large bill for both cleaning out the filters and car is passed onto the perpatrators of such nuisance.

hana · 31/10/2006 16:59

twas done to us when we got married
maybe somewhere someone is reading this and feeling ashamed of themselves from 8 years ago....

KenBlackstone · 12/02/2021 14:50

God you're a humourless bunch aren't you.

Nanny0gg · 12/02/2021 15:18

I think spoiling the wedding night is mean.

But I do remember when a friend (many, many years ago) came back from honeymoon, her friends had decorated the front of their house.

Big Newlywed banner. Streamers, balloons etc.

That was funny. (and appreciated. Kind of!)

Worried830410 · 12/02/2021 15:33

You all sound like a bunch of immature idiots op. I can't believe grown adults do these stupid things.

cheeseismydownfall · 12/02/2021 15:39

zombie thread!!!

SDTGisAnEvilWolefGenius · 12/02/2021 15:46

Dbil filled the air vents on our car with confetti, so when we got in to go off on the honeymoon and switched the vent on, we got confetti blown at us. It was funny, but not too difficult to clear up - though we were still getting the odd bit out of the vents when we sold the car a few years later.

SDTGisAnEvilWolefGenius · 12/02/2021 15:47

Dank - I posted before I spotted this was a zombie thread. Blush

LlamaofDrama · 12/02/2021 16:02

This was done to us. Some of it funny (some helpful "how to" instructions with diagrams for the wedding night). Most not. Tbh I haven't forgiven them for sugar in the bed, or the golf club under the pillow.

Luckily I had the measure of DH's mates and my bag was elsewhere or they'd have gone through all my stuff.

pointythings · 12/02/2021 16:06

Family did it to me and my husband, it was pretty hilarious.

  • Room temperature turned up sky high
  • Every cushion and pillow piled up in the bath
  • Rice in the bed
  • Cups and saucers from the tea making facilities on the canopy of the four poster (presumably to make funny noises if we got up to anything)
  • Clingfilm over the toilet bowl.

It was funny, but by the time we had sorted everything out, we were too knackered to get up to no good. Fortunately they had also left us champagne!

Why do people dig up 14 year old threads, how do they find them? 🧐

katy1213 · 12/02/2021 16:11

What a nasty, stupid, moronic and thoroughly unpleasant thing to do.
Is your husband always such a twat?

KenBlackstone · 12/02/2021 16:47

Well obviously I just Googled "Are wedding night pranks a thing?" Grin
isitsummertimeyet · 12/02/2021 17:42

You sound like really crap mates..

If you sabotaged my wedding night with your unfunny antics id punch your boyfriends face in and ditch the pair of you as mates.. you sound more like immature bellends

NeverDropYourMoonCup · 12/02/2021 18:47

HE trashed your room.

His new wife didn't.

Why risk ruining her night?
