An anniversary song for your husband is an original song written from your own story: the night you met, the promise he made, the number of years, the kids and the moves and the hard stretch you came through, what he is to you now. It is written from a few sentences you type, in the music he plays, with his name in the chorus. At BeatJar you read the lyrics and hear the whole song before paying anything, and it arrives as an MP3 for the dinner or the drive.

Wives write anniversary stories with a scene in them. He stepped out of his truck in cowboy boots at a steak house in Harrison, Arkansas. He was a corporal at a club called Johnnie's in Yuma and told her that night he would marry her. He was a high-school athlete at prom, and forty years later they are retired in Arizona. The scene is the first verse; the years are the chorus.

  1. 1What they typed into the form

    He found me even tho I was out of milage range on dating app. We met at Colton's steak house in Harrison AR as I was coming home from taking my daughter to college. Once he stepped out of his truck in his cowboy boots I knew he was the one. I love the way he walked, talked, laughed and how he looked at me. He proposed to me after a few months of dating. He invited our daughters on a camping trip and proposed on one knee in front of a burning fire as we roasted marshmallows with Bethany and Caitlyn watching. I respect him. He is a gentlemen and opens my door for me. He is strong, smart and my strength when I need it. I prayed for him! We travel the world and have great adventures together. He beats me playing cards every once in a while. Looking forward to our future as we plan what is next. Happy 5th wedding anniversary with more to come.
  2. 2The lyrics we wrote from it

    I remember the day we first met, Colton's Steak House in Harrison, can't forget, I was coming back from dropping Bethany off, And you stepped out in boots that I love. Oh, you found me past the distance on a screen, But cowboy, you were everything I'd dreamed, The way you walked and looked my way, I knew right then, you were meant to stay. With cowboy boots and a gentle smile, You stole my heart and made it worthwhile,

Why husbands go quiet at anniversary songs

Husbands, by their wives' account, do not ask for much and do not expect to be the subject of anything. An anniversary song puts him in the first verse by name, with the night you met and the promise he made, and tells the table what he has been to you for eighteen, twenty-three or forty years. Wives tell us it is the one gift that makes him stop talking.

The research points the same way. Algoe, Gable and Maisel (2010) found that small, specific expressions of gratitude between partners predict more connection and satisfaction the next day for both of them, and Gordon and colleagues (2012) found that partners who feel more appreciated become more appreciative in return, more committed, and more likely to still be together years later. The papers are listed at the bottom of the page.

For a milestone year

Eighteen, twenty-three, forty. The number goes in the chorus; the night you met goes in the verse.

For the proposal story

The campfire, the kitchen, the club in Yuma. One of the songs here has the daughters watching from across the fire.

For the moves and the years

Wisconsin to Ohio to Colorado to Arizona. The map is a verse.

After a hard year

Deployment, illness, distance. Say what you watched him get through.

For the father he is

Including the daughters he took camping before he asked. Say it with his name on it.

For the thing you never say

That you prayed for him. Easier to type than to say across a table.

An anniversary song for your husband next to the usual gifts

Song Watch Card Dinner
Has his name and your years in it
Tells the night you met
Says the thing you never say
Still around next anniversary
Plays in the truck
You see it before you pay
Two people sitting on a tailgate at dusk looking at one phone, a marshmallow stick leaning against the wheel
The boots made the first verse. The campfire made the second.

What to put in the story

The night you met, the promise, the number of years, the kids by name, one hard thing you got through, and what he is to you. Here are three stories wives sent us for an anniversary, exactly as they typed them. Each became a song you can play on this page.

A husband, and the campfire proposal

He found me even tho I was out of milage range on dating app. We met at Colton's steak house in Harrison AR as I was coming home from taking my daughter to college. Once he stepped out of his truck in his cowboy boots I knew he was the one. He proposed to me after a few months of dating. He invited our daughters on a camping trip and proposed on one knee in front of a burning fire as we roasted marshmallows with Bethany and Caitlyn watching. I respect him. He is a gentlemen and opens my door for me. He is strong, smart and my strength when I need it. I prayed for him!

A husband of forty years

Celebrating being Married 40 years on April 19th. High School athletes to lifelong best friend from Prom senior year the rest is history. Loved our many road trips and boondoggles. Life has taken us from WI to Ohio to CO to AZ for retirement. Always my rock and so love the positive attitude and fun you bring every day to our lives. Most amazing, loving husband, fabulous Dad to McKenzie and incredible Grandpa. So proud of the life we have built together

A husband, the marine from Yuma

He was a corporal in the Marine Corps when we met and down for WTI in Yuma Arizona. We met at a club call Johnnie's. He told me that night he was gonna marry me at Marissa house. I moved to Beaufort South Carolina to be with him. We married after a couple months. We couldn't afford rings and i didn't care because he the love of my life. We have two children Ryan and Kayla. He is a amazing father to them.

Cowboy boots, a prom, a club called Johnnie's. Each story has the night you met as a scene, a number of years, and the line she does not say to his face. The boots made the first verse.

Which sound fits an anniversary song for your husband

You pick the genre, the feel and the voice on the order form, and you can change any of them after hearing the preview. If you are unsure:

  • Country, romantic or celebratory, female vocal: the combination most of the songs on this page use.
  • A duet: for the proposal story, or when the song is about the two of you and you want to play it together.
  • Rock or soft rock: for a husband whose music is loud.
  • Acoustic, emotional: for a hard year, or for playing at the table.
  • The music in his truck. That answer beats every other one.

If the anniversary is this week

The story takes about ten minutes to type, the lyrics and the song come back while you wait, and you choose the delivery window at checkout. The shortest is an hour.

Have the night you met and the number of years ready. Those are the two lines he will play back, quietly, in the truck.

This was an unexpected surprise for my husband. We were just having a good conversation and I asked him if he would he listen to something and then give me his opinion? He said sure. It all happened from there . He wiped tears through the whole song. I am very pleased. I don’t think I could have given him a better 50th anniversary gift. Thank you for helping me with this keepsake! He will always have it to listen to! You’re the best ❤️

BeatJar was so easy to use and the final result was wonderful. I did a song for my husband for our 26th wedding anniversary. I played it in the car & as soon as he heard a few personal & familiar words he stopped and looked at me & his expression was priceless. I would definitely do it again.

I wasn’t sure at first, how my husband would react. We got into the car, i started to play it and turned the volume up. The first few lyrics it made him think and realized that the song was about us. All those feelings we felt back then came to life again. My husband said “ it was the best gift ever”.

The song I chose for our 30th wedding anniversary to my husband was just amazing. It was delivered in 24hrs as expected. It told our story like I wanted and included words that were so romantic. My husband’s face said it all. It bought a tear to his eye. Would highly recommend to anyone wanting a heartfelt song for their loved ones.

I have been wanting to get one of these songs for my husband and finally decided to do it for our 41st wedding anniversary. I chose BeatJar for the affordable price and the fact that I had several opportunities to edit the song throughout the process. If I want to I can even go back and edit it now after I have already shared it with my husband! I found BeatJar very user friendly and Erik, the owner, very kind and reachable. I would highly recommend them. I chose an acoustic soulful song with a female singer and it was an absolute perfect combination! I will definitely use them again.

This year is our 28th wedding anniversary and my husband discovered BearJar on social media and we decided it sounded like a novel gift idea. We were not prepared for just HOW perfect it was going to turn out. We have been crying like babies shamelessly. The lyrics and rhythm just captured our story so perfectly!!! And now it’s OUR song forever! Thank you! I pray that you keep spreading joy and love…especially in these times. Keep up the great work guys! Bless.

This was a great experience! The program was very easy to use and they did an amazing job. The first attempt was good but the music I picked just didn't fit the mood I was looking for so I did a second attempt and it was perfect! We took a little trip to the NC mountains for our anniversary and while we were having a little picnic, I played it for my husband. He loved it and just kept saying, "how did you do that?" He got very emotional. Unfortunately I was not able to video it.

The song created via BeatJar made for our 10th anniversary was absolutely perfect. The lyrics were so emotional and meaningful that both my husband and I cried when we heard it. I can’t believe it was created in just 5 minutes, it feels like it was written just for us. Now it’s our special song, and I can’t stop listening. Truly unforgettable!

I can’t tell you how wonderful this is! This is the best gift I have ever given TO my husband. So easy to follow the instructions and the final song is truly amazing. I think I have listened to it over 60 times in a week. My children even cried when they heard it. Of course my husband did as well as it was so personal. BEST GIFT EVER. Thank you so much for making our 40th wedding anniversary so special.

This was such a simple process to have such a magical moment for my husband and myself as we celebrated our 25th anniversary. The moment he realized the song was our song was priceless. I had to make a couple revisions which again was an easy process. Loved the final results AND cheaper than competitors. Highly recommend using them for your special occasion

I saw the BeatJar ad online many times but I just kind of thought about it and after many passes to try it for my wife and our anniversary I finally tried it and it turned out way better than I thought it would and after posting the song on my Facebook page, my wife's niece texted her saying that she has the most romantic husband for doing that song for her. I picked the type of music and with so many types to choose from on the beatjar site. then I wrote the story of us and when we first met 26 years ago and Whoever the singers were did such a great job and had absolutely the nicest professional voices. This is a very different gift of love for your wife or any one in your life you love or just friends.

Questions wives ask about anniversary songs

What should an anniversary song for my husband say?
The night you met, the promise he made, the number of years, the kids, one hard thing you got through, and what he is to you. The stories behind the songs on this page are five to ten sentences. His name and the years go in the chorus.
Can it be about the proposal?
Yes, and proposal stories make the best first verses. Say where it was and who was watching; one of the songs on this page has the daughters across the campfire.
Can I hear it before I pay?
Yes. You read the full lyrics and hear the song before paying anything. If it is not right, change it or walk away.
Male or female vocal?
Most wives choose a female vocal so the song sounds like them speaking to him; a duet fits a song about the two of you. You can switch after hearing the preview.
Which genre should I pick?
Whatever is in his truck. For anniversary songs for a husband, country is chosen most, then acoustic.
What does it cost?
From US$37.95. The price depends only on how fast you want it delivered, and you see it before you pay.
