Wedding Invitations

Funny Or Humorous Wedding Invitation Wording

As I see it there are two important options of using a humorous and funny wording on your wedding invitations without looking distasteful: either to match the design of the wedding card with the written text, or to have a simple wedding card but maintain that humorous spelling. I know it and, if you are planning yourself a wedding, you will know it too that there is a strong wording etiquette used for the wedding invitations, passed down since medieval times, when the members of the French and English aristocracy made popular the custom of sending wedding invitations.




But it is your wedding we are talking about so it’s your decision whether you would like to use the formal wording or a less conventional one. The funny and humorous wording could be categorized as informal but be sure it will put a big smile of your guests face. I recommend using as designs for your wedding invitations cartoon characters or caricatured impersonations of the future married couple. As for the written text, it would probably be better to select for the printed or engraved procedure since the hand written text is used mostly on simple and elegant wedding invitations. I could give you lots of examples of funny wordings but below I’ve selected some verses and quotes which I consider them to be the best for your wedding invitations.

These meaningful words are left behind by our favorite writer, William Shakespeare; it is truly wonderful how so little words can express such powerful feelings:
“My bounty is as boundless as the sea,
My love as deep; the more I give to thee,
The more I have, for both are infinite.”
The above verses are not that funny, but let me try again with these following poems:
“Marriage is about giving and taking and forgiving and forsaking,
Caring and sharing and screaming and swearing,
About being together whatever the weather,
About being driven to the end of your tether,
It’s about being strong when you’re feeling quite weak,
It’s about saying nothing when you’re dying to speak,
It’s about being wrong when you know you are right,
It’s about giving in, before there’s a fight,
It’s about you two living as cheaply as one,

(You can give us a call if you know how that’s done!),
Some days filled with joy, and some days with sadness,
Too late you’ll discover that marriage is madness.”

“Yes, I’ll marry you, my dear,
And here’s the reason why:
So I can push you out of bed
When the baby starts to cry,
And if we hear a knocking
And it’s creepy and it’s late,
I hand you the torch you see,
And you investigate.
Yes I’ll marry you, my dear,
You may not apprehend it,
But when the tumble-drier goes
It’s you that has to mend it,
And if a drunkard fondles me
It’s you that has to whack him.
Yes, I’ll marry you,
You’re virile and you’re lean,
My house is like a pigsty
You can help to keep it clean.
That sexy little dinner
Which you served by candlelight,
As I do chipolatas,
You can cook it every night!
It’s you who has to work the drill
and put up curtain track,
And when I’ve got PMT it’s you who gets the flak,
I do see great advantages,
But none of them for you,
And so before you see the light,
I do, I do, I do!”

These funny poems could be used on a different sheet of your wedding invitation before writing the actual text with the basic wedding information or you can opt for a simple and funny wording such as this one:
“Mr. and Mrs. Stanford Siege, along with Mr. and Mrs. John Hill, invite you to witness the wedding of their children, Lily and Daniel, she will promise to do his laundry and he will vow to come home every night, and to keep their marriage brimming, with love in the loving cup, at the end of every argument they both must agree that she’s always right.  We request to honor of your presence on Sunday, the ninth of July, two thousand and eleven, at five o’clock in the evening, St. Sebastian’s Church, New Orleans, Louisiana. Reception to follow after the ceremony where we will get loud and drunk. The invitation will remain even though the parents still think it’s way too soon!”
