A Lyrics Approval Checklist for Your Personalised Song
Approve personalised lyrics for accuracy, comfort and natural phrasing before the final production stage. A written checklist helps you give useful feedback without repeatedly changing the song's direction.
Check the facts and voice
Verify names, places and any dates. Read the lyrics aloud to see whether the language sounds like something the couple would recognise. Mark phrases that feel too formal, too generic or emotionally stronger than intended. Explain the issue rather than only saying a line is “not right”.
Check what can be shared
Look for private memories, sensitive family references or jokes that may be uncomfortable in front of guests. Confirm whether each detail is approved for the intended audience. If the song will have more than one use, such as a private gift and a reception performance, discuss whether separate versions are needed.
Send one clear revision note
Quote the line, explain the concern and offer the accurate memory or intended meaning. Prioritise essential corrections over optional preferences. Once the revised lyrics are approved, keep that version with the pronunciation notes and agreed use. Confirm any later change through the producer's revision process so everyone knows which words are final.
