April 1 may be the most hilarious day of the year, especially when you’re the one orchestrating these practical jokes on your significant other
It’s the day you’ve been waiting for all year: April Fools’ Day. Don’t let your annual opportunity to play a harmless April Fools’ Day joke on the most important man in your life slip by without a good laugh. Since April 1 is just around the corner, now’s the perfect time to start planning a funny April Fools’ prank. Use these April Fools’ pranks for boyfriends as inspiration for your big moment. Of course, don’t forget that turnabout is fair play, so be sure to keep your own guard up all day long! You may even be able to swing a few of these as text pranks.
Abstract art
If your guy is very astute and maybe a little obsessed about having everything in its rightful place, it’s time to rearrange his world with this April Fools’ prank for boyfriends. When he’s not around, take each hanging picture off its nail and switch it with one from another room—at the end of this game, each painting is now hanging in a different place. When he notices, act like he’s wrong and they’ve always been just like that. This could also join the ranks as one of the best April Fools’ pranks to play on your parents, especially if they’ve lived in their house for decades.
Shopaholic horror
Is your boyfriend a little bit horrified by how much stuff you order online? Take it to the next level by saving 20+ empty boxes from your recent deliveries (break them down and hide the stack of flat boxes somewhere he won’t look). Get up super early on April 1, tape all the empty boxes back together, and cover your front porch and sidewalk with these “new deliveries.” Then, watch the blood drain from his face as he mentally calculates how much money you must have spent on who-knows-what.
Embarrassing ringtone
Change his ringtone to a song that would embarrass him, be it “Milkshake” by Kelis or “Baby Shark.”Set the volume to “max” and then send him out on an errand. Once he’s in public, call him. Chances are, he won’t even realize it’s his phone that’s making all that noise, which means it’ll be even more embarrassing as people keep staring at him. Oh, and if this joke was played on you, check out these April Fools’ Day memes to make you laugh after getting pranked.
Sold sign
For this prank to work, you’ll need to be living together in a house you jointly own. Find a friend who’s a real estate agent and borrow one of his or her signs. Place it in your front yard and add the “Sold” sign underneath. This is one of those April Fools’ pranks for boyfriends you can take as far as you’d like.
Neat freak nightmare
Fill your boyfriend’s PC desktop with shortcuts to random files. Then, copy and paste them until there are at least 10 copies of each icon on top of each other. Take a screenshot of the desktop (with all the icons) and set it as the desktop background image. When he first discovers it, he’ll be annoyed by all the icons and start deleting them — and it’ll look like it’s working, for a while. Eventually, he’ll no longer be able to select the icons (because they are in the background image) and be “stuck” with a cluttered desktop until you reveal your secret.
Funny fake news
Create an outrageously false “Breaking News” story that will catch your boyfriend’s attention (maybe that his favorite sports team lost an important game 100-0 or the actress he has a crush on will be filming a movie in your town). The creative options are endless—you add a headline, ticker copy and an image.
