You can create funny wedding invitations with lots of unique ideas to celebrate your big day, go beyond the normal and instead show off your personality.

Being creative and unique while at the same time using your innate sense of humor is what will make the homemade wedding invitations for you and your loved one.

What Makes You And Your Significant Other Laugh?

If it's a goofy picture, this is a great start. You can take a picture of the two of you making funny faces and capture that as the basis for your homemade invites. This sounds silly, but can turn into the very best invitation, as people will laugh immediately when they open them.

Wedding invitations don't have to fit the mold and the standard way of sending them. If you want to create funny invitations in the shape of hearts cut out of construction paper that look like they were created by a five year old, then that's your prerogative. Sure it won't be the typical wedding invite that you'd expect to find anywhere else, but likely you pride yourself on being different, and a big part of that is your humor.

Be Creative To Show Your Talent

You could get creative and make some homemade wedding invitations that will show off your artsy side, and then take it to a whole new level:

  • Use a big sombrero as the shape of the invitation itself; this will show off your humorous side as a couple and set the tone that this will be one hilarious event, one which your guests would expect from a funny couple like you!
  • Use something funny as the backdrop like a clown, or a character from your favorite humorous movie or television show. When people see something like that they immediately let out a little giggle, so you will be doing your part to add to the humor factor by using something easily recognizable.!
  • If you have a great picture of the two of you dressed up like monkeys for Halloween one year, feeding each other bananas and laughing it up, this could be the perfect backdrop. If you want something different than the typical and need to properly show off your sense of humor, then by all means use this picture and some clever words such as "We're Bananas for Each Other" to create the perfect funny wedding invitations.
  • Take a picture of the two of you dressed up as peanut butter and jelly and use a caption that reads something like "We Go Together Like Peanut Butter and Jelly". Not only is this funny, but it's also cute, and people will know what's in store for them as the big day approaches. You will keep them laughing and you can enjoy the festivities your way, with humor.

More Funny Design Ideas

You can take it one step further by creating homemade wedding invitations that are cute, clever, and at the same time hilarious.

How about having a young child in the family draw a picture of the two of you as a couple? We all know that kids love to draw, but aren't the most flattering in their portrayal, so you are bound to end up with a cute but rather amusing portrait of the two of you. Take that picture card and turn it into funny wedding invitations and you'll pull at your guest's heartstrings while also making them laugh.

You could even get a bit more clever by taking a photo of the two of you and using captions to turn it into the perfect funny wedding invitation. Whatever you decide should fit your personality, and if humor is a big part of the two of you as a couple, then use it to make your special day funny from the start.
