Create my song

Nobody organizes a big do for a seventh anniversary. There is a card, maybe a table booked, and that is the year quietly filed away. But the ordinary years are the ones that did the work: the move, the bad winter, the running joke that has outlived two houses.

A custom anniversary song can mark any year at all. Tell us the date you said yes and what has happened since, and we write the song for your partner, or for a couple whose staying power deserves more than another bunch of flowers.

How to write your brief

Ideas to include

The years since the vows

The moves, the jobs, the children, the year that nearly broke you both. An anniversary song works best when it admits the hard bits and lands somewhere warm.

The ordinary Tuesday

The tea made without asking, the side of the bed, the argument about the thermostat. Nobody photographs any of this, which is exactly why it belongs in the song.

A gift for another couple

Parents, friends, the pair who introduced you. Tell us what their marriage looks like from the outside and the song says the thing nobody says to their face.

Perfect for

  • A husband or wife on any year, round number or not
  • Parents celebrating their own anniversary
  • Friends whose marriage you have watched up close
  • A couple renewing their vows

Tone ideas

  • Tender and honest, closer to a love letter than a card
  • Funny and knowing, built on years of shared jokes
  • Warm and celebratory, for a room raising a glass
  • Slow and danceable, for a first dance you get to do again

Message example

Nine years today, Nia. La Ritournelle put the flat with the leaking roof, the drive to Cornwall in the broken car, and the tea you still make before I ask into a wedding anniversary song.

Why La Ritournelle

Frequently asked questions

I remembered this morning. Is it too late?

No. The song is ready in minutes, so a same day anniversary gift is completely doable. And any year works, not only the milestones: the unremarkable ones often make the better song, because nobody else is marking them and your partner will not see it coming.

Can I give it to another couple?

Yes. Plenty of these are gifts for parents or for friends. Tell us what their marriage looks like from where you stand and we write it from your point of view.

Can it mention the hard years?

Yes, and it is usually stronger for it. Name the difficult stretch in the brief and the song can acknowledge it without dwelling, then land on what held.

Can we use it for a vow renewal?

Yes. Say so in the brief and we shape the tempo and mood for the moment you walk in, or for the first dance you get to do twice.
