For a 70th birthday

Celebrate Dad's 70th birthday with the whole family!

Seventy is a big one, and the whole family wants a say! Everyone in the family can tell him what he means to them, by video, voice note, photo or a few written lines, and Chorus brings it all together for his birthday.

Start Dad's book

Gathering everyone's messages is free. You won't need a card.

The podcast link is brilliant - you just get things you couldn't get in a book like laughing or the background in a recording! I am so happy we have this for all the grandkids.

SUPER idea. In a world where we're all so disconnected, capturing all the things we mean to each other is just priceless. Make the time, do it!

Add a song to their message

Each person can pick a song that reminds them of him. It plays from their place in the podcast, and prints on their page in the book.

One link for everyone

They can each record a message on their own phone. Nobody needs an account.

Voice, video or writing

Everyone can answer their own way, with a voice note, a video or a few written lines.

Scan the page and hear their voice!

A code under each message plays the voice from the book. You can switch the codes off if you'd like the page without them.

How it works

Getting the whole family in is easy!

The page the family sees when they open the link, with a name typed in
1. Send the link to the family chat. They open it on their own phone and say who they are.
The recording screen, with a question and a big record button
2. They tap and talk. Or write it instead, or ask for a different question.
The video screen, with someone on camera answering the question
3. Or they film a video. They look at the camera and say it to him.

When everyone's in, you choose the podcast, the book online or the printed book.

The questions

One good question can unlock a great story!

Three of these are in Dad's book already. Swap in any you like, or write your own.

  1. What's your favourite memory with him?
  2. What do you love about him?
  3. What do you wish for him in the years ahead?
  4. What's the funniest thing he's ever said to you?
  5. What did he show you how to fix?
  6. What do you want to say to him on his 70th?
  7. What's the best advice he ever gave you?
  8. What would you like to thank him for?

Questions people ask

What is a good 70th birthday gift for Dad from all of us?

A book of messages from everyone who loves him, from the youngest grandchild to his oldest friends. He gets to hear how much he means to all of you, and he can play the voices again whenever he likes!

What can the grandchildren say for Dad's 70th?

Whatever they love about him, in their own words. The little ones can tell him what they love doing with him, and add a drawing as a photo!

Can someone write their message instead?

Yes. Anyone can type their message instead of recording it, and add a photo with it.

Can everyone chip in?

Yes, if you turn chip-in on. Everyone who records can put money towards the book, and it comes off what you pay.
