Virtual Halloween Party
Among the many milestone celebrations that have been put on hold or canceled in recent months, children’s birthday parties seem the saddest of sacrifices. But when there’s a will, families and friends are finding a way. The holiday that celebrates wearing masks may not happen this year on account of the pandemic. But Halloween hasn’t ghosted us yet. It’s still on the calendar. Halloween candy is hitting the shelves. And Spirit Halloween is opening stores. The good news is Halloween falls on a Saturday this year, meaning families could have the opportunity to celebrate safely at home.
Host a Halloween-themed costume or dance party virtually for friends and family. Create a Spooktacular playlist for everyone to shake their boo things to, and have attendees show off their costumes on camera. You can also gather remotely to decorate and carve pumpkins safely from your own homes. Interact while you craft by sharing spooky stories. At the end, award prizes (virtual prizes or ones you send via snail mail) to the best looks!
When you have to stay home, stay connected through virtual events. Host a virtual happy hour with friends, a virtual team meeting with coworkers, or a virtual baby shower to chat and check in with family. Snuggle in for a virtual movie night, a virtual game night, virtual drinks, or start a virtual book club with your loved ones.
Pros:
No need to book a venue, just make sure that you're somewhere with a good internet connection
Anyone can join from anywhere meaning no one gets cut from the guest list
No intensive set-up or breakdown of the event
No need to provide food and drinks for guests
Guests can "attend" in their pajamas
Guests do not need to travel far!
As you will not be spending too much money on booking a venue and crafting a menu for the party, you should work on putting that effort in finding ways to make the virtual party as fun and easy as possible for guests. You can even organize for gift boxes to be sent to each person on the guest list in advance of the party. This box can include, snacks, costumes and even some games to play when you are online.
Invitations
If you want to create a true virtual party from start to finish, then you may opt for sending out electronic invites. Although since you are having a virtual party, it may be nice for your invited guests to receive a real invitation in the mail and perhaps a virtual reminder before the big event.
Paper invitations also give you a chance to include some special extras for your invited guests, like maternity photos, baby shower games, raffle tickets and whatever other extras that will help guests feel included in your big event.
If you are sending paper invites, then you will need to adjust the invitation wording so that guests know that it is a virtual party.
Note: Before committing to a virtual option, please check to make sure the platform you are using offers the features that you need to make your party a success. If you are unfamiliar with a platform that you are considering, then jump online and test it out. The more comfortable you are with the technology, then the better chances you will have of making it all work out.
