Tips for hosting a virtual bachelorette party
How to keep the call fun.
Virtual bachelorette party ideas bring the bride and her friends together online when they cannot meet in person: invitations, a theme, a party box sent ahead, games like bride trivia, a cocktail or cooking class and a playlist. Keep the call structured and plan it around the bride's time zone.
Have a host
One person runs the call, calls on people by name and moves between activities so nobody talks over each other.
Keep it short
Plan about an hour with one or two activities, and let people stay on to chat after.
A hybrid party
If most guests meet in person, schedule one call for friends who cannot travel, with a screen the room faces and one game everyone can play.
A host, a party box in the mail, and one game everybody can play.
The virtual ruleHosting
1
Host running the call
One person calls on people by name and keeps it moving.
A virtual bachelorette party works best with a start time, a host who runs the call, one or two structured activities and a time that works for the bride's time zone.
