If youâre someone with a lot of personality, that should carry through to any event that is being held in your honour, be it a wedding, a birthday party, a baby shower or something else. If youâre the life of the party and always making everyone laugh, you might want to inject some humour into your event with funny save the date cards.
There are a few different ways to create a funny save the date. Sometimes a save the date is funny because of the design itself, sometimes it is funny because of the wording, and sometimes it is funny because it includes a funny photo or other humorous element.Â
A word of caution for funny save the dates: not everyone shares the same sense of humour and itâs very easy for a joke to be misunderstood. This is especially true if youâre sending save the dates to a large number of guests. If youâre only addressing a small group of close friends, you can usually be certain of how people will react, but when youâre not as close with people (especially if they are older or there are cultural differences) it can be difficult to know how they will take it. This is especially true if your save the dates are for a wedding, which many people see as a serious and formal occasion. Always be careful when choosing funny save the date cards.Â

Funny save the date ideas
Your choice of image or design can be what makes your save the dates funny. Cute cartoons or cartoon-style illustrations can make people laugh, as can caricatures or other silly pictures. Some people choose to include funny photos of themselves as a child (or both them and their partner, if itâs a wedding or engagement save the date). Some people go even further and set up a funny photo shoot, like a photo of the bride looking excited with bridal magazines strewn around her while the groom looks stressed and is drinking a beer. Â
The design of the card can also make for a funny save the date. Funny flow charts or checklists can work great for this.Â

Funny save the date wording
A funny phrase, heading, or other funny save the date wording can also make all your guests laugh. Some funny save the date ideas for wording include:
-
âShit just got realâ
-
âItâs happening!âÂ
-
âWoah!â
-
âWeâre doin it!â
-
âHe liked it so he put a ring on itâ
-
âOpen bar!â, âFree booze!â or similar
-
âFree cake!â, âFree food!â or similar
-
âAbout timeâ or âFinally!â
Lines and catchphrases from popular movies, tv shows, or songs are always popular for this purpose. Â
Puns are another popular way of making your save the dates funny. For example, you might send guests a matchbook with a phrase like âthe perfect match!â printed on it, use a picture of a padlock on your save the dates that reads âlock it in!â, or include a bookmark with a save the date card that reads âbook it inâ.Â
