A custom song for a bachelor party or stag do
A song about the groom that he will be hearing about at every wedding for the next ten years.
Lyrics and music made with La Ritournelle AI
Bachelor party in the US, stag do in the UK, and the best man's problem is universal: everyone will do the bar, the activity, the questionable costume. Nobody will do anything that is actually about the groom. Then at the wedding you have to make a speech and you have nothing new left.
A custom song is the thing nobody else brings. It has his name in it, the story from 2011 that will follow him to his grave, and the fact that he has been talking about her since the week they met. Play it once in the pub and the whole group will be quoting it by Sunday.
How to write your brief
Ideas to include
The permanent record
The story he has spent a decade trying to bury. Everyone knows which one. It goes in the chorus.
From the whole group
One story per person, one song from all of them. Cheaper than the activity and it survives the weekend.
The best man's rehearsal
Test the material here, before the wedding speech. Whatever gets the biggest reaction has just been quality checked in front of a live audience.
Perfect for
- A groom to be, from his best man
- The whole group chat, splitting one gift
- A brother getting married, from the sibling with the receipts
- A friend whose stag weekend you are organizing
Tone ideas
- Rowdy and anthemic, made to be shouted by fifteen men
- Deadpan roast, delivered completely straight, which is funnier
- Chaotic all the way through, with one honest line about the bride
- Fake epic, a stadium sized ballad about a man who lost his shoes
Message example
Lads. Before we go anywhere, La Ritournelle wrote Tom a bachelor party song of his own. It includes the incident in Prague. There is no legal way to stop this.
