Funny wedding wishes from parents

Bride and groom cheer as two of their parents stand behind them, everyone happy on their wedding day
  1. Happy wedding day! It brings me such joy to be here today. Weddings make me so emotional, not during the actual ceremony or reception, but more the next day when I usually find myself wallowing in self-pity during a heavy hangover from all the booze!
  2. Congratulations on your wedding. We finally get the house back to ourselves and all the joy of looking forward to grandkids. No rush, but don’t make us wait too long.  The older we get, the less babysitting we can do, so it’s in your best interest to get going!
  3. Ah, who doesn’t love a good wedding party? From partying with our family and friends to the delicious elegantly-presented canapes and sumptuous meals, not to forget the grand wedding cake and free booze. So, if your happy marriage takes a sour turn at any point, take pride in knowing you threw a hell of a party that brought us all so much joy. 
  4. Giving our amazing son-in-law/daughter-in-law [delete as applicable] a very warm welcome to our crazy family. We hope the levels of insanity we display don’t send you packing. We’re a lovely bunch once you get to know us, but it may take a little getting used to. Don’t worry, you’re one of us now!
  5. Congratulations to the happy couple! If you’re searching through piles of presents for a wedding gift from us, don’t hold your breath. The amount we spent on your wedding day is enough to have secured a down payment on a sizable property, so we just about had enough left to buy this lovely wedding card.   
  6. Happy wedding wishes to you both! If you need serious marriage advice, definitely don’t ask your dad! If you need any other funny advice about things that don’t carry as much weight, your father will be all ears and ready to impart some words of “wisdom” – just take everything with a pinch of salt…or maybe the whole shaker!
  7. Congratulations to the wonderful bride and groom. Before settling into married life, here’s a quick overview of things to look forward to – unlimited cuddles, spooning, and tax breaks. Things you probably won’t look forward to – Fighting over bathroom time, whose turn it is to take out the trash, and occasionally taking the day’s frustrations out on each other in a somewhat passive-aggressive manner (mostly passive).
