Pranking a friend on her birthday can be a fun way to celebrate as long as it's light-hearted and won't hurt her feelings. Here are some ideas for pranks followed by a surprise:
Prank Ideas:
-
Fake Gift: Wrap up a small box with a huge box outside. When she opens it, she’ll find a smaller box inside, and maybe a note that says, "Happy Birthday! The real gift is at the end!"
-
Confetti Explosion: Tape a small bag of confetti to the top of a door so that it spills out when she walks through. Make sure it’s easy to clean up afterward!
-
Balloon Avalanche: Fill her locker with balloons. When she opens it, they all come tumbling out. Be sure to check the school rules about lockers!
-
Birthday Signage: Create ridiculous "Happy Birthday" posters with funny photos of her or exaggerated traits and hang them around school where she will see them.
-
Fake Announcement: Ask a teacher if you can “make an announcement” and do a playful, over-the-top birthday announcement for her.
Surprise Ideas:
-
Surprise Party: After the prank, gather friends to surprise her at lunch or after school with a small party. Have cake, balloons, and decorations ready to go.
-
Gift Reveal: After the prank, present her with a real gift or card along with a heartfelt message from you and possibly some mutual friends.
-
Video Messages: Compile short birthday messages and memories from friends and family, and show them to her after the prank for a sentimental surprise.
-
Birthday Playlist: Create a playlist of her favorite songs and share it with her, letting her know it is her birthday party soundtrack.
-
Special Treats: Have cupcakes, cake pops, or her favorite snacks ready to share after the prank.
Important Reminders:
- Know Your Friend: Make sure that she has a sense of humor and will appreciate the prank.
- Keep It Light: Ensure your prank is fun and harmless, and won't make her feel embarrassed or upset.
- Be Ready to Apologize: If the prank doesn’t go as planned, be willing to apologize and make it up to her.
- Get Others Involved: Involve mutual friends to help execute the prank and surprise smoothly.
Have fun and enjoy the celebration!
