It is entirely possible to organize a party or other celebration while managing to have a virtual gathering. In years past, holiday gatherings, game nights, movie marathons, and coming-of-age celebrations all encouraged close social contact. This year, however, things have had to change for the greater good. Let’s suppose that last weekend you witnessed a newfound friend get married over a virtual platform such as Zoom – let that inspire you!
Virtual Party Design Starts with Good Planning
As with any event, good planning is the foundation of a fun time. Birthday parties, anniversaries, and other momentous occasions can be kept to a small in-person gathering, but given restrictions on how many people can meet up all at once, it is best practice to have other participants join through video call technology. Don’t cancel the party – just think outside the box!
Choose Activities Suitable for Everyone
Our next bit of advice is to rethink the activities that would be the focal point of the evening. Trivia and bingo are two popular group-based games you can play, and that way, no one person dominates the conversation with topics that the others aren’t interested in. Small, simple rewards such as gift cards can be an easy way to liven up the proceedings and make everything more enjoyable for all of your guests – even if they are calling in from all over the country!
Make Sure to Incorporate Entertainment
Entertainment industries of all kinds – whether in music, sports, or the performing arts – have all come to a screeching halt. Even with staggered reopenings and limited capacities for indoor venues, popular entertainment is struggling to regain the momentum it had before the pandemic times. That’s why it’s vital you include some entertainment – makeup workshops, cocktail-making demonstrations, crafting, cooking, even local friends who are open mic musicians and comedians – they can all become a big hit at your virtual party shindig.
Food and Drinks Can Still Be a Draw
Maybe instead of buying everything from the store, you prefer to make every food and drink item that is part of your virtual party. Well, doing so can still be on the table, so to speak – you can turn it into a cook-off challenge by sending out the recipe in the weeks beforehand or you could have the food delivered through non-contact means for everyone to enjoy even if it isn’t all at the same time.
