Planning a Virtual Late Night Party? Remember These 4 Great Tips!

Accept it or not, the ongoing coronavirus pandemic has ushered a new era of socialization. While we are maintaining the six feet social distance mandatorily, the virus hasn’t been able to attack our freedom of meeting our friends and family in one place – the virtual world! We’re all using the video calling facility for several hours everyday for work, business meetings and to co-ordinate with our colleagues. The festive season is already here and just because COVID-19 won’t allow you to get together, that doesn’t mean you can’t party all night! You may not have a house full of people this year but your laptop screen can have your favourite people, laughing, eating, drinking and dancing together but virtually. Besides, with facilities like a late night liquor delivery service, you don’t even have to worry about where to get your party drinks from! Just place the order and your alcohol will be delivered in no time.

So, how do you exactly have an awesome virtual party with your friends and family? Just follow the tips that we’ll mention below. As simple as that! 

Top Tips to Follow When Planning a Late Night Virtual Party

1. Create a guest list: Organizing a party on Zoom, Google Meet or Microsoft Teams should have the same essence as the real party but with a twist. When you’re having a real time get together, you plan everything according to your will. But for a virtual party, your guests aren’t visiting your house; you can’t serve the food and drinks to them. Hence, you need to determine your guest list, who all are invited and start planning the theme, food, drinks and timings, taking everybody into account. Simply put, everybody should be on the same page. 

2.  Forget the phone. Use the laptop: Imagine holding the phone at a particular position for 2 or more hours. There’s no fun at all. A laptop offers a bigger screen, better sound and video quality. You can even eat and drink freely with your laptop set up on the table in front of you. Moreover, it makes everything look so natural; for instance, if you’re getting up to pour yourself another drink, everybody can actually see what you’re doing rather than staring at the ceiling or blank screen. How boring!

3. Providing food and drinks: While we said earlier that you can’t serve food and drinks to your guests as they aren’t visiting your place physically, why not have them home delivered? Pick a reliable 24 hour dial a bottle store, select the food and alcohol along with the quantity, provide the different delivery addresses to the agent and you’re all set. The food and drinks will be delivered safely to your guests’ doorstep. 

For instance, Calgary Dial a Bottle is one such leading late night liquor delivery store that brings a wide range of alcohol and appetizing snacks to your home at late night hours. Be it beer or rum, wine or whiskey, pizza or burger, just place your order and they’ll deliver it without delay.

4. Have an activity everyone can participate in: Let’s face it. A virtual party means everyone will be talking to everyone at the same time. And that’s not only chaotic but confusing too. Without supervision, you might even find a few people taking control of the conversation. You don’t want to hear John bragging about his collection of designer watches for fifteen minutes. Thankfully, you can prevent this by planning a fun activity in which everyone’s involved. Do you enjoy karaoke, Pictionary or Scattergories? If yes, then share the joy of playing with the others!

5. Other Tips

Decide a dress code – Keep it quirky!

Throw challenges like everybody should drink with their left hand

Dedicate a ‘share’ time where everyone will tell something about their favourite book, movie, TV series, etc.

“You are the dancing queen/king” - Dance with everyone on the same song

Final thoughts: The extensive lockdown has induced mental and emotional fatigue in all of us. At a time when we’re staying away from our closest friends and family for the greater good, there’s nothing better than planning a super fun virtual all-night party and staying in touch. Remember! Coronavirus and lockdown aren’t going to stay forever; when all these will be gone (hopefully soon enough!), there’ll be only good memories like this fabulous all-night party that you had with your pals on Zoom, Google Meet or Teams, to reminisce about. Cheers!
