Brides / Lecia Landis
Yes, weddings are a big deal. But don’t forget that despite the inevitable stress of planning, they're supposed to be fun, too! Your big day should also be reflective of both you and your partner, so if you share the same sense of humor and list comedy as your favorite movie genre, don’t be shy about injecting that playfulness into some of your wedding details–such as the invitations. Funny wedding invitations are a great way to kick off the festivities with a laugh and give your guests a preview of the good time to come. Who wouldn’t want to RSVP yes to that?
When searching for humorous wedding invitations, consider options that reflect your sense of humor as a couple. Have a favorite comedic show you watch together every week? Opt for themed invitations with a quote from your favorite episode. Going for a lighthearted tone? Invitations featuring punny sayings or surprising pop-up designs are right up your alley. You'll also want to consider the customization options, as you'll want to create a wedding invitation design that's unique to you. Make sure to check the paper, colors, and personalized text options to find the perfect (and hilarious) design for you.
From giggle-worthy designs to unexpected puns, we've researched the best funny wedding invitations with these features in mind. For something cheeky and fun, we love the Zazzle Open Bar (and Wedding) Invitation and the Poppet and Moose Holy Sh*t Invitation. For cinema-loving couples, our favorite finds are the Zazzle Retro '60s Movie Poster Mid-Century Wedding Invitation and the Colorquarry Vintage Horror Letterpress Wedding Invitations.
Read on for the best funny wedding invitations to make your wedding guests chuckle.

What to Look for in Funny Wedding Invitations
Your funny wedding invitations should be reflective of your sense of humor as a couple, so choose the design that makes you giggle. If you're both movie buffs, you can't go wrong with a cinematic design. If you're both the life of the party, opt for boozy sayings that will get your guests excited to hit the open bar and the dance floor. And when in doubt, remember that old childhood photos à la Zazzle’s Old Photos Wedding Invitation are always a crowd-pleaser.
Wedding invitations are a chance to have fun and share exciting wedding details, but it's also an opportunity to give guests a taste of what's to come. So you might also consider choosing designs that hint at the wedding color scheme or aesthetic while still playing up your lighthearted personalities.
