A custom song for a bachelorette party or hen do

The bit of the weekend the bride actually keeps, once the sashes are in the bin.

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

Bachelorette party in the US, hen do or hen party in the UK, same job either way: you are the maid of honor or the chief bridesmaid and you are expected to produce a weekend that is funny, personal, and somehow also touching. The decorations handle funny. Nothing on the planning list handles personal.

A custom song about the bride does all three at once. Her name, the boyfriend she cried over in 2016, the group's oldest running joke, and then one verse near the end that is genuinely about her and makes the whole room go quiet for eight seconds. Play it before you go out. It sets the tone for the entire weekend.

How to write your brief

Ideas to include

The bride's greatest hits

The ex nobody mentions at dinner, the legendary night out, the phase she pretends did not happen. Everything the group knows and the groom does not.

From all the bridesmaids

One memory from each of them, one song from all of them. Easier to organize than a group speech and considerably harder to forget.

The one soft verse

Ninety percent chaos, then one honest verse about her getting married. Ask for it explicitly. It is the reason she keeps the file.

Perfect for

  • A bride to be, from her maid of honor or chief bridesmaid
  • The whole bridal party pitching in on one thing
  • A best friend whose hen weekend you are hosting
  • A sister getting married, from the sibling who knows everything

Tone ideas

  • Loud and filthy fun, an anthem for the pre drinks
  • Roasting but affectionate, built on the group's inside jokes
  • Chaotic verses with one sincere verse at the end
  • Full pop diva power ballad, ridiculous on purpose, made for a hairbrush

Message example

Ladies. Before we leave this apartment, La Ritournelle made Jess her own bachelorette party song, and yes, it mentions Dominic. Phones out. Play it loud.

Why La Ritournelle

Frequently asked questions

Bachelorette party or hen do, does it matter which I say?

Not to us. Bachelorette in the US, hen do or hen party in the UK, and the song is the same idea either way. Just tell us the vibe of the weekend and who is in the room.

How rude can the lyrics get?

That is your call, and you set the ceiling in the brief. You read every line before anything is sung, so nothing surprises you in front of the bride's mother, if the bride's mother is coming.

Can all the bridesmaids contribute?

Yes, and it is the best version of this. Ask each of them for one memory, put the lot in the brief, and it becomes a group gift instead of your solo project.

The party is tonight and I forgot. Is that fixable?

Completely. It takes minutes. People have written these in the taxi on the way to the house.
