40th Birthday Song
By 40, your friends have real stories about you - the career, the family, the hobbies you tried, the ones that stuck. A custom 40th birthday song gets to pull from all of it, humor included.
Crear su canciónA 40th-birthday song that roasts AND respects
By 40, the friends who have been around for a while have stories. The failed startup. The move to the suburbs. The thing they said they'd never do and now do every weekend. A good 40th-birthday song pulls from the real material - the funny AND the earned.
Share the lines that make you laugh. Share the ones that are actually about who they've become. The song can hold both. Pick a style that matches the party - acoustic for a quiet dinner, something upbeat for a bigger night.
From the crew, from the spouse, from the kids
A 40th song can come from the friend crew, from the spouse, or from the kids. Each one has different material. If you can collect lines from more than one source, the song gets fuller - the way a toast at the party would.
Preguntas frecuentes
How do I handle the humor without it feeling mean?
Share the stories that are funny because they're affectionate, not funny because they're cutting. The person at the center of the song should laugh harder than anyone else.
Should it be from the crew or from the spouse?
Either. Many 40th-birthday songs are from the friend group, but a song from a spouse at 40 - with the kids, the house, the whole shared decade in the lyrics - lands differently.
How long should the song be?
The Song + Gift Card and Keepsake packages include an extended song length, which gives you room for a longer story. The Digital Song is shorter - fine for a quieter moment.
