My buddy is getting married in a few days, and I'm best man. I want to see to it that it's memorable, so I'm looking for some ideas of pranks for the reception. They need to be clean, and shouldn't use anything too off-the-wall--if I don't have the required materials, I'll probably only have time to get some stuff at Walmart.
Some examples of things I'm already working on: Fake ice cubes with bugs visible inside them, for the punch. Remote controlled "whoopee cushion" to hide under his chair. Booby-trapping various objects with string-trigger firecrackers, hopefully the knife for the bride/groom's cake will be able to trigger one when he picks it up
Update: When I got there, I realized that the bride and her family had put wayyyy too much into it, and I sure didn't feel like spoiling anything for them. While I kind of fell down on my job as best man (didn't protect the planted "getaway car", didn't give a speech, etc), the groom didn't really care--he didn't know any more about weddings than I did, he was just along for the ride. The wedding was casual, with an outdoor ceremony and indoor reception. It went smoothly from start to finish, and the bride and groom had a smashing time on their honeymoon. Everyone's happy all around
