Prime Video’s You’re Cordially Invited features an excellent cast of actors and comedians perfectly suited to the revival of the wedding weekend comedy. The film feels like a return to the 2000s, especially with genre stapes like Will Ferrell and Reese Witherspoon. The duo are joined by a slew of additional familiar names, including other Saturday Night Live alums, stand-up comics, and YouTube personalities. Overall, it’s clear that You’re Cordially Invited is all set up with a cast that lives and breathes in the realm of “funny.”

You’re Cordially Invited, which releases on Prime Video on January 30, 2025, follows Will Ferrell’s Jim and Reese Witherspoon’s Margot as they attempt to throw two competing weddings at the same over-booked venue. Jim is eager to give his daughter, Jenni, the wedding of her dreams, while Margot hopes to throw her grandest spectacle yet for little sister Neve.
