Response card wording-funny or tacky?

I finally sat down to work out my invitations, and in the midst of the very long session, when we got to talking about response card wording, I half-jokingly brought up this idea. I was very surprised that my mom, FH, and printer all busted out laughing and thought it was great. Now I'm torn. I think it's awesome and know I would chuckle if I got it from someone else, but I'm concerned that it ventures too far into tacky territory for the majority of people. I trust you all will let me know if it is. For reference, we're a pretty goofy couple in general.

    Do it. Ours were even more out there and we had people calling just to say how much they loved them. And people added in their own options or embellished ones. ETA:some people say it's inappropriate for a wedding but who cares. Weddings are about Joy and fun and love. They don't have to be traditional. Also no, it doesn't make your wedding more casual like someone said. I still had a fancy wedding

    Still hard, but I could make out enough of it. Would you mind zooming in on the behavior section, though? I think I saw a few that I HAVE to show FH. We've been joking about some of his college friends and their scores to settle!

    O.M.G. ChocolatierKT, you are my hero. This is AWESOME!!! I don't think I'm quite cool enough to pull that off, but I love it! And I'm glad to know your wedding was still fancy, I did worry about the casual aspect. Our attire is "cocktail attire", because it's hard to find something between dressy casual and semi-formal....so it's a casual-ish fancy.

    @nadia-NO WAY!! I LOVE that one and also mentioned it, but decided the other way was more our style. ETA: correct person, sorry Nadia, must be past my bedtime!

    @rachel my ceremony was at 5pm on a Friday in september. I doubt people would wear a sundress.

    And it's the reply card, not the invitation.

    I posted this here before I used them and had people telling me these same things. I was concerned and didn't want to do it but H was set on them so we did it. I'm so glad I ignores people saying that everything would think it was casual

    @Shiny....be strong and have fun with it! People who are invited to your wedding likely know that you are a goofy couple and will appreciate that you bring the humor to the wedding
