Dress the groom in a retro football shirt or a sailor outfit for the harbour walk, then run a forfeit game along the Reeperbahn where each bar brings a new dare. The Sunday morning is perfect for a last prank: a wake-up call with a sash, a speech and a breakfast he has to earn.
Keep it light on the Reeperbahn. The strip is lively and mixed, so keep the pranks light and avoid anything that targets other people.
