Being in isolation doesn’t mean you have to skip out on hosting a lively birthday party with friends, you just need to get a little creative. If you or someone you love has an upcoming birthday, planning a virtual birthday party celebration is simple, fun-filled and sure to create blissful memories!

Virtual Party Care Package 

Create a virtual party care package for all of your friends (or kids’ friends) complete with party hats, goodie bags, and quick bake “mug cakes” with icing and decorations. Use your imagination to make themed party care packages.

Send out Creative Invitations

In the care package include an invite with a date, time, and login info for your favourite group chat service so your guests can virtually join the party. Kids can help create the party kits and then drop them off on their friends’ doorsteps.

Turn the Home into a Party Zone 

When it comes to the day of the party, pull out any and every birthday decoration you have. The key is to be creative and use what you’ve got. Decorate your front yard, backyard and all around the house. Gather your construction paper, bristol boards, tissue paper, and glitter to give the house a dazzling shine.

Virtual Party Activities

Virtual party activities to consider are: cupcake decorating, movie marathons, virtual game playing, or even a trip to the virtual museum!  Create a pARTy around the kitchen table complete with crafts and devices that’ll connect you to stream with friends. The more creative you are, the more fun it’ll be.

Making kids feel special on their birthday is about enjoying a day of celebration. Maintaining our social connections and gaining a sense of normalcy during these trying times is key to keeping well-being a priority. So fill up those balloons, open the video call, turn up the music and get the party started!
