Social distancing doesn’t have to put a damper in your pre-wedding celebrations! All you need is an internet connection to bring together loved ones from around the world for your virtual bridal shower!
Obviously, certain aspects of the traditional bridal shower will have to change in order to fit the virtual format. Obviously, it’s not exactly the same as an in-person event ...but that’s not necessarily a bad thing. We’ve come up with some fun alternates that you can manage via video conferencing. We’re sharing the best tips, tricks, and resources to help you plan the best dang virtual bridal shower you ever (probably never) imagined!
Firstly, you’ll need to choose what device you’re using to connect with your groom. You’ll need a laptop, computer, mobile device or tablet to set up your live-chat with video so all the guests can see each other! Next, you should consider which platform you’ll be hosting your party on. Finally, you’ll need a stable (and ideally speedy) internet connection.
We recommend choosing a free video service such as Skype, Zoom, Facetime, Facebook Messenger or Google Hangouts. When choosing which video platform to use, consider the tech-savviness of each of your guests– Grandma may need a little help getting set up so keep it simple!
Alot can vary based on internet connections and quality — you just have to roll with it. Truthfully, it likely *will* be a little awkward… but isn’t it more important to celebrate what we can, how we can in these strange times?
