Funny Wedding Gifts for the Bride, Groom, Couple and Officiant

It works best for a bride who jokes about being "high maintenance" or whose partner always says yes to her coffee runs. For more ideas just for her, see these funny gifts for the bride.

What is a funny wedding gift for the groom?

Tie the joke to his hobby. A groom who fishes will laugh at the I Love It When My Wife Lets Me Go Fishing mug, because every new husband knows weekends are now shared. If golf is his thing, there's a golfing version with the same joke.

• It's a joke the bride enjoys too, so nobody feels picked on.
• It's ready for early mornings, whether he's heading to the lake or the course.
• It's a good pick from the groomsmen or his side of the family.

For other ways to make him laugh, here are more gifts for the groom.

What is a funny gift the couple can share?

Pick a joke they can act out together. The And I Will Always Love You mug spells out the famous Whitney Houston high note, "And IIIIIIIII E-IIII will always love YOUUUUU". Nobody can read it without singing it, so it turns into a running joke at their breakfast table.

Shared gifts work for almost any couple. You can adjust the pick by age and stage:

• For young couples, keep it playful and useful for a first apartment.
• For older couples, the joke can be about years of habits.
• For a couple who has everything, a funny mug is one thing they don't already own.

Matching sets are another option. Browse these wedding mugs for newlyweds if you want two that go together.

Should you give the wedding officiant a funny gift?

Yes, especially when a friend or relative officiated for free. A gift isn't required, but most wedding advice says a small thank-you is a kind move when someone you know marries the couple. The World's Best Wedding Officiant insulated mug gives them a title to brag about. It holds 14 oz, has a handle and a clear lid, and is stainless steel.

The couple can give it, or a guest can give it on the couple's behalf at the rehearsal dinner. If they'd rather have a classic ceramic one, there's also a World's Best Wedding Officiant mug. Officiants are often behind the best funny wedding moments, so the joke usually lands.

Ceramic mug or insulated mug: which funny gift should you pick?

Pick a ceramic mug for someone who drinks coffee at home and an insulated mug for someone who is always on the go. Both carry the joke well. The difference is where the gift will be used most.

On a budget? These gifts under $30 still look thoughtful.

Is a funny mug enough for a wedding gift?

A funny mug is enough if you add a heartfelt card, or pair it with something from the registry. On its own, it's a great gift for the shower, a coworker's wedding, or the morning after. A close friend or family member can make it the fun part of a bigger gift.

1. Pair it. Put the mug in the box with a registry item, like their coffee maker or a bag of good coffee.
2. Write a real card. One funny line plus one honest line works best. Here's what to write in a funny wedding card.
3. Think about keeping power. Choose a gift your friends will keep over one that's only funny once.
