What to put in a personalised 1st birthday song
Just send us the little things that made his first year special. We'll weave them into verses.
First laugh
The moment his giggle first rang through the house: perfect for a verse opener.
Lost dummy
The favourite dummy that vanished and the tears that turned into smiles.
5am wake-up
Those early morning moments when the world was still asleep but Arlo was already awake.
Clap for the washing machine
His applause for the spinning drum, a tiny celebration of everyday magic.
Dance to the Hoover
The way he twirls when the vacuum starts: a choreographed giggle.
Family quirks
Dad's big appetite and Mum's eyebrows, the traits that make him uniquely yours.
A worked example
Meet Arlo, our example boy
Arlo isn't a real client, but the details come straight from the prompt we were given. Your song would be built from your own memories.
Arlo
Turning one. First laughs, lost dummies, 5am giggles.
- First laugh at sunrise
- Lost favourite dummy
- Claps for the washing machine

What his family told us
Our little boy turns one. A whole year of first laughs, lost dummies and 5am wake-ups that somehow became the best part of the day. He claps for the washing machine, dances to the Hoover, and has his dad's appetite and my eyebrows. One year of Arlo. The song is really for us, we know. We'll all cry. Perfect.

Verse 1
A whole year gone since you came in loudTurned our world to a happy crowdFive a.m. and you're calling us inSomehow that's when the day would begin

Losing your dummy under the chairFinding your laugh just hanging in the airYou clap like mad for the washing machineBest little audience we've ever seen
Chorus
One year of Arlo, one year of youDad's appetite and my eyebrows tooDancing for the Hoover, king of the roomOne year of Arlo, gone far too soon

Every first smile, every first soundTurned this whole house upside downWe were so tired, we were so sureWe'd never loved like this before
