Ideas for a virtual anniversary party

I think either of those would be so sweet. Do you know what their first dance song was from their wedding? Or could you ask a close family member - that would be a sweet memory for them.

ou could also have a cake or cupcakes delivered from a small bakery in their home town? Lots of places are doing door dash - I used a local place called Hotbox ( fresh warm cookies delivered to your door) as a surprise once too.

They didn't have a wedding of the kind we ll dream of, they just had it in a formal way. But I like the idea of the delivery, it is something I didn't think of! Thanks!

HI Catherine,

What a sweet, thoughtful way to celebrate your parents!

Here's a few activities that you could add to the list:

- Order food - you could start by ordering from the same restaurant or choosing the same type of cuisine (if you're in different places) - pizza, Thai food, whatever the couple enjoys!

- Show & Tell - each guest shares a story/memory or finds a photo of the couple

- Open gifts - if there's not enough time to ship, guests can wrap their own gifts and take turns opening them

- Play the Shoe Game - you've probably seen this one at weddings, and I think it would be a good time on a video call as well (see this tried-and-true WeddingWire article for questions: What The Heck is the Shoe Game and Why You Should Do It )

Have so much fun!

Thank you so much! That's really useful and my parents were so happy after the party I did for them
