Can anyone find me the content or an image of those joke business cards that say stuff like:
Lover of many
Mercenary
International dealer
Expert powerpoint presenter
etc etc

I want to get a bunch printed and discretely leave them lying around on behalf of the groom at his wedding in a couple of weeks.

Cheers!

Are you the best man? Tell us about the stag do, it'll have been one crazy white knuckle ride if this latest prank is anything to go by.

Trust me, don't. It's not your day.

Not everyone has a sense of humour, especially extended family.

Keep it for the stag do and just say nice things about him on his wedding day. Emotions run high and things can be misconstrued....

No I'm not. He's not having one. I'm not sure if anyone from his side has ever met the bride. The MIL has insisted on a no booze, narcotics, women speech. This is my (albeit very small) way of injecting some humour into the proceedings. Thank you for asking.

Sounds like a real hum-dinger of a wedding..

Remind him before the wedding that all daughters turn into their mothers.

Then get pissed and make a pass at the mum at the wedding.

He's a very good friend I've known for the last 20 odd years since Uni - although we've drifted in the last few years. He only announced 3 weeks ago that he was getting married, to be honest I'm still thinking WTF as the last time I spoke to him this girl had dumped him. They have had a very tempestuous relationship over the last 2 years, by all accounts she is a bit of a nut. The family is Persian if that makes any difference?

Anyway, enough of that, can anyone provide me with the text to put on this (obviously crappy) business card idea I had? smile

I'd phrase the cards as "International Man of Misery" in that case. smile

This is none of my business.
But, since you've posted about it on a public forum here's my 2c.

Don't do it.
It's his wedding.
It's his wife's wedding too.
I'm assuming that the parents are paying, as they seem to have control.

So don't try and force your humour onto their day.

Either attend and follow their rules, or decline the invitation.

I have a 'hilarious' business card that an Edinburgh cabbie by the name of Frank handed me incase I ever needed another taxi. It would have gone in the bin had I not had the forsight to know that this thread would one day come around.

Ladies and gentlemen, I give you Frank's business card;

It doesn't sound like the sort of event anyone should be attending. Have fun. That's not even sarcastic, I hope you can rescue some modicum of fun from what sounds like a crappy day.

Pretty much my advice. Especially if there is a cultural difference as well.
No point in adding tension. Humour is very personal. You may actually insult, rather than amuse.

I agree. I'd feign illness and not attend, personally.

Vista print will print whatever you specify. There's a good range of design templates as well.
