Funny wedding cake toppers are a great way to make your wedding reception more memorable. It can also help the crowd have a good laugh and get into a festive and silly mood.

They’re also a great way to make your weddings more unique, as well as more personal to you, as funny wedding cake toppers usually have a meaning behind them, so you can really show off your personalities with them.

Out of all unique cake toppers, funny toppers are usually the most popular ones.

That’s why in this post, I’m sharing a roundup of funny cake toppers that will make your wedding stand out.

13 Funny Wedding Cake Toppers

First, a little note about funny wedding cake toppers. What makes funny wedding cake toppers great is the personality they add. So it’s always a great idea to have funny toppers that actually relate to you, and not just some generalized jokes (but those can sometimes be funny too). Having them fit you and your partner is what makes them funnier and more unique.

However, try not to use an inside joke that only you and your partner know, because then, the guests won’t get it, and won’t know why it’s funny.

So, try to find the balance between an inside joke and a general joke that related to everyone - it can be something that lots of people know about you, that can be turned into something funny.

“Dragging” your partner

A common funny wedding topper idea is when one person is “dragging” the other person away from their hobby. For example, the bride is dragging the groom away from video games, or from fishing, or golfing. Or the groom is dragging the bride away from shopping, TV shows, or a sport.

If either you or your partner is known for your love for something (something that’s a hobby and not really productive), that can be a funny joke between the two of you that your guests would also understand.

Partners in crime

If you and your partner often joke that you’re partners in crime, or that you’re Bonny and Clyde, a cake topper where both of you are holding guns with your backs turned (like the typical police partner position on movie posters).

While this is a more generalized option, it would be funny if you two often joke about that.

Gamer cake topper

If both of you are gamers, there are a few funny cake toppers you can do. For example, it can be a topper when the bride and groom look as if they’re video game characters, and the topper says “Achievement Unlocked”, “New Level Reached”, or something similar.

Another option would be to have the figurines of the two of you sitting down on the cake, holding joysticks.

Drinking & partying

If you two love drinking and partying, there are a few fun ways you can incorporate that into the wedding cake topper.

The first idea would be for the two of you to hold your favorite drinks as if you’re doing ‘cheers’. 

Another idea would be for the two of you to be sitting down or laying down visibly drunk, holding drinks, and laughing.

The last idea I have would be for the two of you to be dancing, in full party mode, holding your drinks.

Dating app

If you two met on Tinder or on another dating app, you can incorporate that into your funny cake topper. You can have a topper where your figurines are holding a “Tinder frame” in front of your heads, so it looks like your heads are the photo of a Tinder profile. You could have the Tinder logo on the frame, as well as the buttons, and your names.

The same goes if you met on another dating app.

Another way you could incorporate that you met on an app would be to have your figurines hold a sign that says “We swiped right”, or something of that sort, as well as your names and the app logo.

Doctors

If both of you are doctors, a fun way you could incorporate that would be to have a word (like ‘love’) or a sentence (something romantic that would usually go on a wedding cake) as the cake topper, but written in very bad handwriting, to make a joke at the fact that doctors usually have bad handwriting.

It could also say your last name but in bad handwriting.

Height difference

If there’s a big height difference between you and your partner, you could incorporate that into the joke. You can have a cake topper where there’s a giraffe and a smaller animal, and have each animal dressed as you (the taller one is the giraffe, of course, and the shorter one is the other animal), so it looks like the giraffe and the other animal are getting married.

Clumsiness

If one of you (or both of you) is known for being clumsy, it would be funny to incorporate that into the wedding cake topper.

If only one of you is clumsy, you could have one of the figurines (of the clumsy person) look like they’re about to fall down from the top of the cake, and the other person is holding them.

If both of you are funny, you could have both of your figurines falling down the cake.

You could even have the cake made so it looks like it’s falling down and falling apart because the figurines “fell down”, so it looks like you took the cake with you when you were falling from it.

PDA

If the two of you are known for PDA and it’s a common joke between you and your loved ones, you could use that as a joke for the topper.

One way to incorporate PDA would be to have a seemingly regular cake topper of the happy couple standing next to each other, but when you look from behind, you see they have their hands on the other person’s behind.

Another option would be to have the groom hold the bride up in his hands, with her legs wrapped around his waist, and the two of them are kissing.

That would be a fun way to poke some fun at yourself for being known for PDA.

Foodies

If you two are known foodies, you could have a cake topper that shows you two, dressed up in your wedding outfits, eating pizza, or burgers and fries, or something else that you love.

You could also have a cake topper that looks like the two of you snuck away from your own wedding to go and eat something delicious.

Things you’re known for

If you have things you’re known for in the relationship and your life together, aka one of you is the known chef in the relationship, or one of you is the known handyman in the relationship, you could have the figurines do those things you’re known for loving and doing often.

Sleepyheads

If both of you are known for loving to sleep a lot, you could have figurines of the two of you lying in bed, sleeping, while dressed in your wedding clothes, and have that be the wedding topper.

If only one of you is really known for sleeping all the time, a funny wedding cake topper idea would be to have that person’s figurine sleeping in bed, dressed in wedding clothes, and the other person standing next to them, waking them up.

Board games

If you’re that couple that’s known for loving board games and playing them all the time, you could have figurines of the two of you sitting down and playing your favorite board game.
