Should you use a pun or joke in your wedding website name?

Answered by the UK Wedding Websites editorial team · Updated 2026-10-12

Short answer

A pun or joke can be fun, but it is risky. It may not land with every guest, and it can make the address harder to remember. If you love a pun, keep it short and clear, and always include your names somewhere in the URL.

Puns and jokes can make your wedding website feel playful and personal. They can also be memorable, which is helpful when guests are typing the address from a card. But there are a few things to think about. First, not everyone shares your sense of humour. A pun that makes your friends laugh might confuse your grandparents. Second, puns often rely on wordplay that is hard to spell or easy to mistype. If a guest has to guess whether it is "two" or "to" or "too", they may give up. Third, a joke can date quickly. What feels funny now might feel less funny in a few years when you look back at your wedding website. If you do want a pun, make it simple and obvious. For example, "SamandAlexsayido" is clear and still has a playful feel. Avoid obscure references or cultural jokes that only a few people will get. Always include your real names in the URL, even if the pun is the main part. That way guests can still find you if the joke does not make sense to them. You can save the full jokes for the website itself, where you have space to explain them.
