We know you love your partner—that’s great! So happy for you. But just because you’re in love, doesn’t mean they’re exempt from an epic April Fools’ prank. And listen: We’d never tell you to trick them that badly. We don’t want to make them cry, we’re not mean. But if one of the cornerstones of a healthy relationship is laughter, then what better way to lean into that than by pulling a harmless April Fools’ prank on your boyfriend, girlfriend, theyfriend, or spouse? (Seriously, emphasis on harmless!)


Ultimately, only you know your partner well enough to know the difference between what will make them laugh and what will literally give them a heart attack. ICYMI, we’re definitely going for the former! Use your unique knowledge of what’ll crack them up(and really get them—you want them to be fooled, after all) to put together an April Fools' prank just for them. If you don’t know where to start, we’ve rounded up some of the most creative, most hilarious April Fools’ ideas below. Some are sexy, some are maybe, kind of, a little bit gross, some require supplies and others require nothing at all—besides the ability to keep a straight face, but we’ll leave that to you.

Now go forth and prank. Happy April Fools’ and may the odds be ever in your favor.


1.  Pretend like you lost your engagement ring. Tell them it fell down the drain when you were washing your hands, or that you took it off in the gym bathroom and left it there by accident. Chaos ensues.

2. This won’t work unless you share your finances, but if you do…tell them you emptied your joint bank account on what you felt was a “much needed luxury vacation”—first-class roundtrip flights and all. 

3. Change the settings on their phone to autocorrect whatever they call you to something else entirely. Think: Swapping out “babe” or “baby” for “bubble,” or something else that feels equally absurd. They won’t know what’s going on and you can play along by texting them back your “sincere” shock and confusion. 

4. Replace all the photos of them in your house to pics of a random celeb. Photo of them and their dad fishing on the living room coffee table? Adorable. Replace it with one of Nic Cage. Your wedding/anniversary/vacation selfies? V cute—use Photoshop to replace your partner with Dwight Schrute. See how long it takes them to notice.

5. This one will need a little bit of prep work. Save your Amazon boxes for a few weeks/months/however long it takes you to accumulate at least 10-20 (we’re not judging), tape them back together, and stack them by your front door. When they get home from work, they’ll wonder what the fresh hell you spent so much money on.
