My husband did this to a friend. It was not his birthday.

While at a restaurant, excuse yourself to go to the bathroom. Instead, go tell the waitstaff that it's your friend's birthday & you would like them to sing "Happy Birthday" to them. Hilarity ensues!

I did something similar Jeeni, but a little more diabolical. One year, on my birthday, I told my family to PLEASE not involve the waitstaff, and they complied. However, I excused myself from the table, and then went and told the waitstaff that it was my teenage daughter's birthday. Everyone came and sang to her (to her extreme embarrassment), and then after they left, I ate the free ice cream. I mean, it wasn't MY fault they sang to the wrong person, right?

It's no wonder that my ass is fat and my daughter hates me. But whatever. The ice cream was great!

Create lasting birthday memories by whipping up an inedible cake. Buy tonic water, a cake mix and a can of frosting. Make the cake like the directions say, except replace water with tonic water and throw in a cup of salt and few dashes of whatever spices you have sitting around the kitchen. Bake the cake and cover up any weird odors and looks by frosting the entire cake. Serve it to the birthday girl and insists she have the first bite. Have a real (edible) birthday cake ready to go so the prank ends on a sweet note.

Target a birthday boy with tons of friends and family. Send out an e-mail asking them to all send him a birthday card and a plastic spoon with a note that says "you know what this means." He'll open up all his cards with the spoons and have absolutely no idea what it means. When he asks you what's going on with all the spoons, simply reply, "I think you know exactly what the spoons mean."

Give someone two birthdays in one by making everyone think he's turning a year older than he is. Send out an e-mail reminding everyone that Frank's birthday is coming up and it's important to him that everyone remembers his birthday. Make sure to mention in the e-mail that Frank is turning a year older than he really is. All day everyone will wish Frank Happy Birthday and Frank will get confused as to why everyone thinks he's a year older than he really is. This prank works especially well for milestone birthdays. Tell everyone that someone turning 49 is actually turning 50.

Grab a ladder and put tons of confetti on top the blades on a ceiling fan. When the birthday girl wakes up and enters the room, turn the fan on, and watch the birthday confetti fly.

Make a prank cake that explodes. Bake a large round cake and cut it in half when it's cooled down. Hollow out the middle of the top and bottom half. Blow up a balloon halfway and place it inside the cake. Put the cake back together and frost it heavily so it looks like one cake. The birthday person will be for a surprise when she cuts in and her cake pops.

Exaggerate a friend's age by turning his office into a graveyard. Cover his office with black sheets by tacking them to the ceiling and taping them to his wall. Cover his desk, chair, and other items in black sheets as well. Put a eulogy on his door and make a gravestone with his name to put inside his actual office. For a final touch you should dress someone up like a grim reaper and place him in the birthday person's desk chair.

Create a birthday prank that's actually sweet. Take the birthday boy's toothpaste and squeeze it out completely. Then grab a syringe/pastry-piping bag and fill the toothpaste tube with frosting. Put the toothpaste right where you found it.

Give someone an unusual birthday treat. Buy a large onion, coat it in melted chocolate, roll it around in sprinkles, and stick a Popsicle stick down the center. Then place it in the fridge so it can cool down and harden. Offer it to the birthday girl by saying you made her a candied apple. Wait for her shock (and nausea) when she bites into it.

Give a friend a PG-rated birthday suit by sneaking into her bedroom while she's sleeping. Cover her in honey and then sprinkle on confetti. She'll wake up covered in birthday cheer.

Birthdays are a big deal on Facebook and it's exciting to spend the day seeing what people write on your wall. Plan ahead of time for all of your friends to switch their name, profile picture, and birthday on Facebook to the victim's name, profile picture, and birthday. Do it at midnight on your victim's birthday. This way your victim will be asleep when the chaos starts. In the morning all your mutual friends will sign on and see ten "Jane Smiths" having a birthday. No one will know what's going on and who is the real Jane Smith.

Get a small cardboard box and decorate it like a cake. Make the frosting thick enough that you can stick candles in. Then let the birthday girl have the honor of slicing a piece...and finding out it's not actually cake. Have a real cake waiting.

Make a drunken birthday boy think he got much drunker than he got. After he's passed out for the night, create a cast on his leg by using plaster of Paris and gauze. When he wakes up in the morning and is extremely confused, tell him he got really drunk and jumped out of the car on the way home. If he's a light sleeper, you can put the cast on yourself, and tell him in the morning that he hit you the night before. Forgive him because it's his birthday. Get ready for him to feel really awful.

Find a large cardboard box and make a friend get inside. Put a bow on his head, cover him in packing peanuts, and close up the box. Create a small breathing hole on the side of the box. Wrap the box up like a present (don't cover the breathing hole) and tell the birthday girl a large gift has arrived.

make a cake the usual way but instead of whip cream: use shaving cream. instead of sugar: use only salt. if you use only 2 wrong things then , it will seem more casual.

Before the birthday boy/girl wakes up, tape loads of old newspaper together so that it will fit over their doorway. In big letters, write 'HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!' on it. Tape it to their doorway so that when they open their door they will be faced with a wall of newspaper that says 'HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!'

start with a gigantic cake, the kind you'd see strippers jump out of in those old movies....get everything ready, hire a hooker/striper, put her in the cake THEN bake it.
when the cake is done (and the hooker dead) ice as normal, hold the party, present the cake, leave as the "b-day boy/girl" is about to cut the cake and make an anonymous phone call to the police to report a murdered hooker.

You and your friends can sit back after the trial and just LAUGH and LAUGH....

If your birthday boy/girl has a job with irregular hours, it may not be uncommon to do a birthday dinner before or after their special day. Make plans for an off day celebration, but while they are working, ask for the spare keys to their vehicle. Buy a few bags of party balloons of all different sizes, shapes, and colors. Then with the help of a friend and your lungs, sit in his/her car and blow all them up and throw them into the backseat and work your way to the front. It's tricky near the end cause you will find yourself standing outside the car, throwing freshly inflated balloons through the door, while keeping others from escaping. But, when the birthday person comes to their car after work, they will find a fun filled birthday car.

Man, back in the bad ol' days, this thread would have been full of pranks involving kidnapped children and restraining orders. At least PN gave it the old college try.
