Grandparents Day, Sunday, September 12

Grandma and Grandpa get a message from every grandchild this year!

We think grandparents are the heart of a family, and Grandparents Day is a lovely excuse to tell them so! Use Chorus to gather a message from every grandchild, big or small, by voice note, video, photo or a few written lines. Grandma and Grandpa can answer questions about their own lives too, and the whole lot becomes one book for them to keep.

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

Two ways to do it

Let the grandkids ask, or let everyone answer.

Their own story

Grandma and Grandpa's stories

Hand them your phone on Sunday and let the grandkids ask the questions! Grandma and Grandpa answer the ones they like, and the rest of the family can add their own messages too.

  • What were you like at my age?
  • Tell me about the day you became a grandparent.
  • What do you hope we always remember about you?
Start Grandma and Grandpa's story

Everyone's messages

A book from every grandchild

Send the link to the family group chat and each grandchild answers on their own phone. A parent holds it for the little ones.

  • What has Grandma taught you?
  • What's your favorite thing to do with Grandpa?
  • What do you want to thank them for?
Start the book for them

Record Grandma and Grandpa right there on the couch in the Chorus app! After Sunday it prompts you with their next question every week or every month.

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

Everyone records on the phone in their pocket.

The page everyone sees when they open the link, with a name typed in
1. Send the link to the family. Each grandchild opens it on their own phone and says who they are.
The recording screen, with a question and a big record button
2. They tap and talk. Or they film a video, or ask for a different question.
The writing screen, with an answer typed under the question
3. Or they write it. They can add a photo of them with Grandma and Grandpa.

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

Questions people ask

When is Grandparents Day 2027?

Sunday, September 12, 2027 in the United States and Canada, the Sunday after Labor Day. In the UK it is Sunday, October 3 and in Australia Sunday, October 31.

What should the grandkids ask?

Their own childhood gets them talking. Ask what they were like at your age, then let the kids choose the rest.

Can the grandkids ask the questions themselves?

Yes! Pick the questions together and let the kids do the asking. Their own messages and the answers they get go in the same book.

Do Grandma and Grandpa need an app?

No. They open your link on any phone and record, or you record them in the Chorus app when you are together.

Will the printed book arrive by Grandparents Day?

Order it three weeks before the day and it arrives in time. The podcast link and the book online are ready the day you order.

What does it cost?

It doesn't cost anything to collect the messages. When the book is ready, you choose the podcast, the book online or the printed hardcover. We ship the hardcover to you and the shipping is included.

Can someone write their message instead?

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