Berlin has big clubs with strict doors, and a full costume can keep a group out. Do the loud stuff earlier: a daytime bike tour with the groom in a silly hat, a scavenger hunt of dares around Kreuzberg, or a currywurst stop where he has to order in a ridiculous accent. Then switch to something small, such as a sash or a badge, for the night.
Plan around the doors. Many clubs choose who gets in, so save big costumes for the day and keep the night-time props small enough to take off at the door.
A prank plan for the weekend
evening
Sash and a forfeit list
Hand them over at the first bar. Easy to start with in a relaxed bar before the night gets going.
day
Silly-hat bike tour
The groom wears the hat for the whole ride. The city is flat and spread out, so a bike tour gives you plenty of photo stops.
afternoon
Kreuzberg scavenger hunt of dares
Teams collect proof of each dare on their phones. Streets full of cafes and shops give the hunt endless material.
night
Badge and dare cards
Keep the props small and easy to remove. Small props get through strict club doors where costumes do not.
Currywurst forfeit
The groom orders in a ridiculous accent. A light-hearted last prank that fits the city's street-food culture.

What are good daytime pranks in Berlin?
A bike tour with a silly-hat rule, a scavenger hunt of dares around Kreuzberg or a street-food forfeit all work well because the city is easy to cover on two wheels.
