Done a couple of these myself and the best joke I pulled was on the bride/groom.

It is all about set up and timing. Nearing the end of the night after all speeches were done I took to the mic and started to give my heartfelt thanks and congrats to the couple. Then I turned to the crowd and stated that ______ and _______ have given me the honor of letting you know that they are expecting...

(Stunned silence and a few gasps from crowd as I "flipped my page notes"

You to have a good time tonight, so please do not drink and drive!

The look on the brides face was priceless. Joke went over great and was a good send off for the party.

The other quick and dirty I pulled was an introduction of the grooms father who was also my high school math teacher.

I rambled for a bit about how he taught us math in high school. Then went in for the pitch: one of his greatest lessons was when he told us there are three types of people in the world, those that can count and those that can't.

It is a slow burner and not everybody gets it, which to me is even funnier.

I even heard his wife say " well that is only two???"

Lol - I still laugh at that.
