A custom song for a baby shower

The one baby shower gift that is actually for her, not for the nursery.

Lyrics you review and approve · 7,99 € · ready in minutes

Every gift on the table is for the baby. The onesies, the swaddles, the wipe warmer nobody asked for. A custom song is the one thing that belongs to her: the friend who is about to become someone's whole world, and who has spent nine months being asked how she is sleeping instead of how she is doing.

Play it after the games and before the cake, and watch the room go quiet. It is the moment the shower stops being a checklist and starts being about her.

How to write your brief

Ideas to include

The mom to be, front and center

Who she was before the bump: her humor, her stubbornness, the way she has always shown up for everyone else.

The road to this day

The wait, the news, the first ultrasound photo she sent at 6am. Say only what she is comfortable sharing out loud.

The village around her

The sisters, the friends, the group chat that has been on call since week one, all promising she will not do this alone.

Perfect for

  • The mom to be, as the surprise from her best friend
  • The person hosting the shower and looking for a centerpiece moment
  • A sister or mother who wants to say something bigger than a card
  • A friend group chipping in on one gift together

Tone ideas

  • Warm and funny, the way her friends actually talk to her
  • Tender and reassuring for a first time mom
  • Upbeat and celebratory, made to play out loud
  • Quiet and heartfelt for the gift opening

Message example

This one is for you, Hannah, not the baby. La Ritournelle turned everything we love about you into a baby shower song, because you are about to be an incredible mom and somebody should say it out loud.

Why La Ritournelle

Frequently asked questions

The baby's name is not picked yet, does that matter?

Not at all. Plenty of showers happen before a name exists, or before the parents are ready to share it. Just tell us in the brief and we build the song around the mom to be and the family waiting instead.

We know the name but it is still a secret, can you leave it out?

Yes. Say so in your brief and we will keep it out of the lyrics entirely. Nothing goes in the song that you have not asked for and read first.

The shower is this weekend, is that enough time?

Yes. The song is ready in minutes once you send the brief, so even a last minute Saturday shower is easy when you are writing the brief on Friday night.

Can it be funny, or is that weird for a baby shower?

Funny works beautifully, and most showers need it. Tell us to tease her about the cravings or the nursery repaints, and we keep it warm and affectionate, never at her expense.
