Stag & Hen Party Prank

Stag Do Prank

The best man's job description should include one thing above all else: a prank the groom will never forget. A personalised fake news article — styled like a real Irish news site — is exactly that.

Drop the link in the stag WhatsApp group and watch everyone react. The article looks completely real until the timed reveal exposes it as satire. Works just as well for hen dos.

What stag and hen prank ideas work best?

Prank the Groom

The classic. Generate a story about something outrageous the groom supposedly did in the lead-up to the wedding.

"Cork man spotted at pre-wedding wellness retreat, claims it was 'grand'"

Prank the Bride

The hen do deserves its own news story. The more specific the detail, the more convincing the article.

"Limerick woman's hen do described as 'unprecedented craic' by local Garda spokesperson"

Group WhatsApp Chaos

Drop the link in the group — everyone reacts before the reveal. More victims, more craic.

Night Before the Wedding

Send it the morning of the stag for maximum effect — everyone's already in the chat and paying attention.

Common Questions
