Isolation at home is not a reason to be apart from your family and friends. A birthday is a perfect occasion to join together, and with the wonders of technology, you can do it virtually. Just set at an agreed time; send an e-invitation to host a virtual gathering that will create long lasting memories.

 

TT Top Tips:

• We find that the APP Zoom works well. It is free to use (see online guidance)
• Arrange practise runs for those who are new to ZOOM. Clare’s Mum who is 93 got there within 5 mins – not bad!
• Ready to Party: agree the date and time, and email an e-invite.
• Send a ZOOM link to the invitees.
• Now the fun bit: be camera ready!
• Create a back drop of balloons, streamers and banners
• Wear a headband, tiara or even a silly hat.
• Have a nice tall cake with elaborate candles.
• If you feel like getting fancy:
• Set a crazy dress code
• Arrange that everyone has a pizza to “share”
• Arrange a quiz that is themed to the birthday VIP’s age or hobbies.
• Load the cups and glasses for a virtual toast!

 

Good luck with your Zoom Party. Carry on Celebrating!
