Roast Book FAQs
How personalized is the roast book?+

Is it actually funny?+
That's the whole point. Every roast book is written in a comedy genre using the specific details you provide. The more specific you are about their quirks and inside jokes, the funnier the result. Most recipients read it cover to cover at the party.
What occasions is a roast book perfect for?+
Roast books are ideal for birthdays (especially milestone ones like 30th, 40th, 50th), farewells, retirements, bachelor/bachelorette parties, and any occasion where you want to celebrate someone in a hilariously personal way.
