Try One of These Funny and Harmless April Fools’ Day Pranks
The silliest holidays can be the best excuse to spark a little fun and laughter in your marriage. Henry Ward Beecher once said, “A person without a sense of humor is like a wagon without springs. It is jolted by every pebble on the road.” Are you someone who brings a sense of humor, lightheartedness, and joy to your marriage? Capitalize on this silly holiday—April Fools’ Day—and consider playing a harmless prank on your spouse. We’ve got 15 of the best April Fools’ Day pranks that we think will ignite a smile, a giggle, and maybe an outright burst of laughter from your spouse on the first day of April.
1. Hidden Toilet Paper Roll Edge
Spray the edge of the toilet paper roll with a little hair spray. It’ll be tricky for your spouse to find the edge, and when they do, it’ll be challenging to get it unstuck.
2. Drawer Switch
Switch a few of your dresser drawers with your spouse. When they get ready in the morning, they’ll be confused when they can’t seem to find their socks because of your April Fools’ Day prank.
3. Autocorrect Madness
What’s a word your spouse texts often? Replace it with “April Fools’ Day,” so every time they text “Hi,” for example, it autocorrects to “April Fools’ Day.”
4. Googly Eyes Are Watching
Ahead of April Fools’ Day, put googly eyes all over your spouse’s car—on the steering wheel, dash, radio, and more!
5. Toothpaste Oreos
Leave your spouse with a baggie of Oreos for an after-lunch snack on April Fools’ Day. But make sure to remove the filling in a few and replace it with toothpaste to shock your spouse’s taste buds.
6. Mysterious TV Volume
Set the limit on the TV volume to extremely low. Next time your spouse tries to turn up the volume, they won’t be able to because of the limit.
7. It’s Raining Confetti
Do you usually sleep with your ceiling fan on or have the living room fan on? While it’s off, place confetti over the top of the blades. Next time your spouse turns it on, it’ll rain confetti!
8. Hidden Utensils
Before everyone wakes up on April Fools’ Day, hide all the forks and spoons. Whoever goes to grab an essential utensil, will be surprised to see they’re not there!
9. Add a Colorful Flush
Add a few drops of food coloring to the tank of your toilet. Whoever flushes the toilet will chuckle when the water returns a surprising color.
10. Plot Twist
If you and your spouse are deep into watching a TV series together, get the next episode teed up and tell them to join you to watch—except choose a later episode, leaving your spouse to wonder about the significant gap in the plot.
11. Happy Birthday to You
If you know your spouse’s social media passwords, change their birthday to April 1, and watch them giggle when they begin receiving a slew of false Happy Birthday messages!
12. Salt for Sugar
A classic April Fools’ Day prank…switch the sugar for salt, and when they pour their morning coffee, they’ll be in for a not-so-nice surprise! Of course, have some backup sugar ready because no one really needs their morning coffee messed with too much.
13. Pajama Prank
Wives…tell your hubby to meet you in the bedroom—you have a new pair of pajamas you want him to see. Instead, put on the silliest footie pajamas you can find, and he’ll be laughing for quite some time.
14. Photo Switcheroo
Swap out your framed family photos around the house with funny pictures of your pets or celebrities. Wait until someone notices the sweet photo of your daughter has been swapped for a photo of her pet fish.
15. Bluetooth Takeover
If you share access to a Bluetooth speaker, start playing funny (or not so funny) sounds of a crying baby or dog vomiting. Then, act like you hear nothing.
We hope you laugh a little more and walk a little lighter this April 1 and that you’re encouraged to bring some silliness back into your marriage throughout the other days and months of the year, too!
