Are you trying to think of funny fortunes to write inside fortune cookies?

Funny fortunes for fortune cookies can be fun to write. The key steps for writing funny fortune cookie messages are to use your imagination, know your fortune cookie recipients well and to be clear and concise.

Follow these steps to help you think of your own funny fortunes, sayings or messages for personalized fortune cookies.

Difficulty: Moderate
Instructions
  1. Step 1

    ** Think of your friends' personality **

    In order to think of funny fortune cookie fortunes, you want to keep in mind who you are preparing the fortune messages and sayings for.
    Think about what types of fortunes your friends dream about happening and which types of fortunes your friends would hate.

  2. Step 2

    ** Write fortunes that will happen at the event **

    If you are serving fortune cookies in the middle of a party, you can make funny fortunes by "foreseeing" things that will happen during the rest of the party. For example, you can have a fortune that reads "someone will win a beaded necklace" if that will be happening somewhere in the party.

  3. Step 3

    ** Write individual fortunes for each party guest **

    If you have the time and you are able to separate out the fortune cookies, you can make separate fortunes for different guests. Write a fortune for each guest based on something they wish would happen. Read the fortunes at the party and get a good laugh.

  4. Step 4

    ** Turn funny fortune cookies into a party game **

    Write a funny command inside each fortune cookie and have the person who opens that fortune cookie carry it out. For example, "You will jump on one foot around the party girl.". The person who opens the cookie will have to jump on one foot around you.

  5. Step 5

    ** Write tongue twisters inside the fortune cookies **

    As a hilarious fortune cookie message, write a tongue twister and have each party guest read theirs outline - while eating the fortune cookie.

  6. Step 6

    ** Be clear and concise in your wording **

    If the fortunes you write do not make sense or are too long, they will become boring. So make sure they are easy to understand.

  7. Step 7

    ** Be vague **

    If you want to write humorous fortune cookie sayings that sound like they could come true, write something vague. For example, "something strange will happen to you in the middle of the night" or "one of your favorite things will change overnight".

  8. Step 8

    ** Make your fortune message rhyme **

    Another way to make funny fortune cookie sayings is to make the fortunes rhyme. Simple rhyming words make the same fortunes a lot more interesting.
