"...
The entire
process of ordering the song was very well handled by you - the way
you kept us informed as to the progress, etc. - which we
appreciated very much ..." - Rod and Lynda from Quebec,

about Rod and Lynda's experience in ordering a custom lullaby from Lullaby
Dreams.
Please click here to
go directly to our Custom Lullaby Order form.
Four of the songs on our new CD Floating Off To Dreamland are custom lullabies
that Patrick wrote in 2007. The faces of the Moms and Dads when they were presented with their lullabies simply cannot be
described, and it's why he loves what he does so very much.
We believe the gift of a custom lullaby from Lullaby
Dreams is probably the most
special surprise that can be given to new parents and babies. Can't
you just picture all the faces of the guests at the baby shower when
your custom song is presented as your gift?
We have
designed two packages to help anyone present a tailor-made
song to that precious new baby in your life. 
Both packages take approximately 2 weeks
to complete, once we have all the details and required information
from you. You will have your custom lullaby 7 to 14
days following its completion.
For a Template written lullaby, Patrick takes one of our standard
lullabies and write custom lyrics using information about the family
of the baby that you provide. Your lullaby is then digitally recorded
and mastered before being burned to CD for presentation.
For a Custom written lullaby, Patrick writes you a completely unique song,
as he did with Beditme Is Here, and as he did for Max, Gabe, and Ethan, the triplet boys in
One, Two, Three. After your lullaby is complete, we digitally record and master it before burning it to CD for you.
Both the Template and Custom written lullaby packages
include the
following:
-
Your Lullaby
Dreams lullaby is written to your specifications as
either a Template or Custom lullaby, as outlined above
-
Patrick
digitally records and masters your
lullaby for perfect sound and balance.
-
You
receive a copyrighted
copy of the sheet music for your lullaby, laser printed at 600 dpi on a
parchment-style paper (we also offer the sheet music custom framed
- see below)
-
We
include a dedication
from you to the parents and child on the sheet music
-
We
provide a full-color label on the CD (This can be a picture you send us or we will
draw or find a drawing for you. We also include your dedication to the
recipient(s) on the CD label. Click
here to see three examples of how this labeling looks.)
-
Your
Lullaby Dreams CD includes two tracks of music.
Track One is the
song recorded with vocals
-
Track Two is just the
accompaniment, so you and/or the parents can sing the lullaby to
the child yourselves (For this, we need to know an approximate
voice range - high, medium, low - so we can pitch the song
appropriately. If you're unsure, we pitch in the medium range,
as this will work for most voices.)
-
Worldwide
shipping at registered air mail pricing is included in each
package. Your completed Lullaby
Dreams lullaby will take approximately 7 to 14 days to arrive.
Custom framing of
the sheet music is available for just $30.00.
To help us craft
the lyrics for your custom ordered Lullaby
Dreams lullaby, we need information such this:
-
The name of
the baby, if it's born, or its sex. If the parents are the
traditional "we want to be surprised" types (and
there are still a lot of those out there!), we'll write the
song very generically using words like "baby" and
"little one" instead of referring to a particular
child or sex. This is actually a nice way to go in general,
as the song still "fits" when new children are
born to the family.
-
Some info
about the parents and/or siblings is also helpful. For
example, if a child
only calls her parents "Mommy" and
"Dad," we don't want to say "Mom" and
"Daddy!" If the new child is going to be a
long-awaited girl or boy in a family dominated by the other sex, we
can probably find a way to work a fun reference about that into the song
as well.
-
How you are
connected to the child can be nice as well. For example, if
you are a Grandma or Grandpa, an Aunt or Uncle, we can weave
a bit about you into the song, as the givers of the song.
-
Do you or the receivers have any
special musical style you especially like? We'll try to incorporate a
"feel" for that in the lullaby, where possible
(some styles, like acid rock and rap, don't really work for
lullabies, after all).
-
Anything
else you can think of to add will be gratefully appreciated.
Now that you're ready to order,
please click here to
go to our Custom Order Lullaby form. On this form, you'll give
us the above information and place your order. And don't worry
if you don't have all the information right at this moment.
We'll be directly in touch anyway, so we can help you pull
together all we need to make this the most wonderful gift
imagineable.
Thank you for your
interest in a custom ordered lullaby from Lullaby
Dreams. We know this will be a treasured gift that will last
for generations to come.
