You’re Cordially Invited: Cast, Trailer and Streaming
You're Cordially Invited is a 2025 American wedding comedy starring Reese Witherspoon and Will Ferrell. Two families arrive at a destination wedding venue only to learn that their celebrations have been booked for the same date. Directed and written by Nicholas Stoller, the movie premiered on Prime Video in January 2025. It is not Olivia Wilde's 2026 film The Invite.
Why are there two weddings at one venue?
The story puts Margot, a television executive protective of her sister, opposite Jim, a widowed father fiercely attached to his daughter. Each has planned a wedding at the same small island hotel. With neither group willing to surrender the coveted location, a proposed compromise becomes a rivalry between people who believe they are defending their families.
The double booking is the mechanism that drives the comedy, but the emotional contrast is what keeps it from being simply a string of pranks. Margot is worried about how her role in her sister's life will change; Jim fears that his daughter's marriage may leave him behind. Their anxieties make the escalating competition understandable even when the behavior becomes ridiculous.
Who is in the cast?
Will Ferrell stars as Jim and Reese Witherspoon as Margot. Nicholas Stoller, whose work often combines awkward social situations with family relationships, directs and writes the film. These credits help distinguish it from similarly named romantic comedies and from online searches for actual wedding invitations.
The title is sometimes entered as “you are cordially invited” or without the apostrophe in “you're.” Those phrases are informal search variations of the same movie, not alternate films or separate installments. The correct on-screen title is You're Cordially Invited.
What does the trailer tell you?
The official promotional materials establish the competing wedding parties, the shared venue, and the increasingly antagonistic dynamic between Margot and Jim. Expect a broad comedy about family boundaries and social embarrassment rather than a carefully realistic guide to planning a ceremony. The trailer is useful for judging the humor and tone; it is not necessary to understand the premise.
If you are searching for the video, use the title plus “official trailer” inside Prime Video or an authenticated studio channel. That reduces the risk of clicking recut footage or trailers uploaded for a different film with an invitation-themed title.
Where to watch in the United States
Prime Video is the film's original streaming home. The platform promoted its January 30, 2025 launch. Open the US Prime Video listing for the exact title to check current subscription access and whether a separate charge applies to your account. Streaming rights and viewing entitlements should be checked on the publication date, especially if you are reading from outside the United States.
Is it connected to Mike and Dave Need Wedding Dates?
Not in story or franchise. Both movies use wedding-related chaos for comedy, but Mike and Dave Need Wedding Dates follows brothers recruiting dates for a Hawaiian family wedding. You're Cordially Invited instead asks what happens when two rival wedding parties must occupy the same venue. Pick the former for raunchy buddy-comedy energy, the latter for a family-versus-family clash.
