Wedding jokes are the gifts that keep on giving

Nothing is more important to a wedding than a well-timed joke or clever pun. Well, that and cake. Cake is probably more important. And the bride and the groom. But after the bride and the groom and cake, wedding jokes and puns are important! They bring even more smiles and laughter to an already festive day.

Whether you’re the best man nervously preparing a toast, a maid of honor crafting the perfect speech or a couple looking for a witty Instagram caption for your save-the-date cards, these jokes are guaranteed to get laughs without crossing into eye-roll dad joke territory. (Well, mostly. Hey, if you can’t be a little corny and sentimental at a wedding, when can you be?)

So if you’re looking for some humor to transform a wedding speech or invitations from forgettable to legendary, or you simply need a little levity when tiara-deep in seating arrangements, you’re in the right place. Read on for the best wedding jokes for the big day—and the easiest commitment you’ll ever make. Think of it as our gift to you!
