Ideas for every anniversary
- First year: the firsts – first trip, first home, first fight you laugh about now
- 5 or 10 years: how life changed and what stayed the same
- 25 years and more: the family you built
- Any year: what you never manage to say out loud
For your parents
Making it for your parents’ anniversary? Choose “Other”, write “Mom & Dad” as the names and tell us their story – the whole family can sign it.
What to tell us for your anniversary song
You don’t need to answer everything – two or three real details are enough. These questions help you find them:
- Which anniversary is it – the first, the tenth, the twenty-fifth?
- How did your story start?
- Which places are yours: the first apartment, the bench, the road trip?
- What did the hard years teach you about each other?
- What do you each call the other?
- Is there a date, a number or a word that matters to you both?
- Should it be sung by a female, male or duet vocal?
- What do you want to promise for the next years?
Example: a personalized anniversary song
An illustration of how a few details turn into lyrics – your song is written from your own story.
The details
- First anniversary
- The first apartment had a heater that never worked
- They danced in the kitchen to keep warm
Lines they could become
One year in a room where the heater won’t start,
we danced in the kitchen to warm up our hearts.
Socks on the tiles and the radio low,
you stepped on my toes and I never let go.
Here’s to the first of a hundred more –
Anna and Leo, and the kitchen floor.
Music styles for an anniversary song
- Pop with a duet vocal – two voices for two people – a natural fit for a song about both of you.
- Acoustic – warm and personal, for playing at home or at dinner.
- Romantic pop – for an anniversary party with family and friends.
- Country – for a milestone year told chapter by chapter.

How it works
Answer a short questionnaire about them – about five minutes. We write the lyrics, produce your song (two versions with Standard and Express) and a person checks it before delivery. See every step on How it works.
Questions about personalized anniversary songs
Can the song mention the year we met or married?
Yes. Add the date in the questionnaire and choose to have it sung.
Can it be a duet?
Yes. Choose a female, male or duet vocal.
What works for a first anniversary versus a 25th?
For a first anniversary, the firsts: first date, first home, first trip. For a 25th or later, the long view: the family you built and what stayed the same.
Can it be from both of us to each other?
Yes. Choose the duet vocal and tell us about both of you – the lyrics can switch between your two points of view.
Our anniversary is today – is it too late?
Not necessarily. Express is ready within 6 hours after you choose the lyrics, so a song ordered in the morning can be played at dinner. If the day has already passed, a song a few days later still makes a lovely “I didn’t forget” surprise.
