How to keep wedding jokes kind

The best funny wedding songs laugh with the couple, not at them or their families. Skip jokes about exes, in-laws or divorce, keep risqué songs for late in the night when the grandparents have gone home, and let the couple approve any surprise song before the DJ plays it. A joke that lands with the bridal party can fall flat with eighty other guests.

Funny songs for the cake cutting

"Sugar, Sugar" by The Archies, "Cake by the Ocean" by DNCE and "Pour Some Sugar on Me" by Def Leppard get a laugh as the couple cuts the cake. For more, see our cake cutting songs.

Funny first dance mashups

A popular trick is to start with a slow, romantic song and suddenly switch to something upbeat, like moving from "Can't Help Falling in Love" into "Uptown Funk" or "Crazy in Love". Practice the switch a few times, and tell the photographer so they catch the guests' faces. For slow-dance ideas, see our first dance songs.

Funny songs for the wedding party entrance

For the grand entrance, give each pair their own song: a superhero theme for the groomsmen, "Wannabe" for the bridesmaids and something dramatic for the couple. For more, see our wedding party entrance songs and funny love songs.
