For a new baby

Letters to your baby from everyone who loves them

We think every baby deserves to hear one day how loved they were from the very start! Use Chorus to gather letters for them by video, voice, photo and writing from their mum and dad, the grandparents and everyone who loves them, ready for when they're old enough to hear them.

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

Saoirse, you're three weeks old today. You love your bath and you hate your car seat, and I could watch you sleep all day. I love you more than anything...

We are enabling over 1 million people to say it. Share the stories, love and gratitude. Your voice is what makes the world's greatest gift.

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 our daughter when she's older.

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!

Róisín

her aunt

Saoirse, I held you for an hour on Sunday and you slept through all of it and woke up the minute your mum took you back. You can come to me about anything, always.

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

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 everyone in is easy!

The page everyone sees when they open the link, with a name typed in
1. Send the link to the group 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 talk to the baby.

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 go in the book to start. Swap in any you like, or write your own.

  1. Where were you when you heard they had arrived?
  2. What did you think the first time you saw them?
  3. What's going on in the world the year they were born?
  4. What do you want them to know about you?
  5. What do you hope they'll love doing?
  6. What are their mum and dad like right now?
  7. What do you want to show them when they're older?
  8. What do you want to say to them in your letter?

Questions people ask

When should they hear the letters?

It's up to you! An 18th, a 21st or the day they leave home are all good days to open it.

Can Mum and Dad write letters to their baby too?

Yes. They add their own from the same link at any time.

Can we start it before the baby is born?

Yes. Start it at the baby shower or the week they arrive, and close it whenever you're ready.

Can grandparents who live far away add a letter?

Yes. They open the link on their phone or laptop and record or type their letter wherever they are.

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. What everyone puts in comes off what you pay.

Gathering is free. Everyone will love being part of it.
