A bachelorette party that is basically free and you don’t have to take 3 days off of work? Say hello to the Virtual Bachelorette. A concept that is having a moment right now globally. Virtual bachelorettes are now IN and they are here to stay for the foreseeable future until the world becomes a safe place to travel again!
So, what IS a virtual bachelorette party? A virtual bachelorette is an event where you can get all your best friends and loved ones together to celebrate the bride-to-be...except virtually!! This can be done best over zoom for larger groups, or even do a google hangout.
How long should a virtual bachelorette party be? Virtual bachelorette parties can be anywhere from a one hour zoom meeting to multiple different activities throughout 1 or 2 days. Since people’s zoom attention spans are quite short, we recommend hosting a zoom party that is engaging and under a few hours.
What activities can you do on a virtual bachelorette? You could do anything from a virtual activity like yoga or tarot readings with breakout rooms, or try something like wine tasting or succulent making! If you’re looking for more ways to spice up a virtual bachelorette, check out this article.
How to make the bride feel special during a virtual bachelorette? You can tell all the attendees to come prepared with a few favorite memories for the bride beforehand, or have everyone send the bride a gift that she opens via zoom. Since it’s virtual, if you have a powerpoint or favorite photos and videos of the bride those can also be wonderful to highlight! Show your bride/bestie all the loooove! This year has definitely thrown brides for a loop, so anything you can do to make the bride feel extra loved will be way appreciated.
Are people really doing this? Yes! These are happening all over the US, and more people are even saving time/money by having ‘zoom weddings’!
Good luck planning your own virtual bachelorette!
