That’s such a sweet idea! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/throwing-a-virtual-baby-shower#post-2912832 Wed, 25 Mar 2020 13:37:57 +0000 Orange Lily 2912832@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We were supposed to go to a baby shower this weekend for a dear friend; my daughter was her flower girl at the wedding. I am so bummed for her that it isn't happening! It's not a full-on replacement, but I'm having DD make a card and send it to arrive basically on the same day that the shower would have been so our friend gets something tangible on the day. And following with some gifts.</p> <p>Similar to @mrsjbeeg, I've been sending flowers to friends through local floral shops as a bit of cheer and to support the local businesses. Maybe the mama would like some flowers delivered? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/throwing-a-virtual-baby-shower#post-2912829 Wed, 25 Mar 2020 13:27:48 +0000 MrsJBeeG 2912829@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We’re you planning on having food? If so, wondering if you could have something delivered to the virtual attendeees (assuming it doesn’t cost more than what you were planning on food if you were hosting it at a location) maybe like edible arraignments or a bakery doing delivery so that everyone could enjoy some real baby shower themed goodies safely. Might be a bridge too far but it’s something that I thought could be unique, fun and help a business even in this crazy time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/throwing-a-virtual-baby-shower#post-2912812 Wed, 25 Mar 2020 10:21:07 +0000 crazydoglady 2912812@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Becky: Thank you! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/throwing-a-virtual-baby-shower#post-2912807 Wed, 25 Mar 2020 09:39:08 +0000 Becky 2912807@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>You could definitely have all the presents shipped to her house, and then she could open them there on Zoom. </p> <p>For my SIL’s a few years ago I used an online Jeopardy platform to do a baby trivia Jeopardy game (we displayed it on a big TV during the shower). It was really fun. I kind of pulled together questions I liked from examples I found on the internet. You could do this via Zoom, and teams could communicate via text or something to come up with their answers (or it could be a free for all!). </p> <p>Maybe people could decorate whatever is behind them in the theme of the baby shower. Or you could give them a bunch of different themes? You can also set backgrounds on Zoom—I haven’t tried this but I have a supervisor who does and it’s fun to see what he chooses. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/throwing-a-virtual-baby-shower#post-2912793 Tue, 24 Mar 2020 23:10:11 +0000 crazydoglady 2912793@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm supposed to be throwing a baby sprinkle in 3 weeks, and it's pretty clear that's not going to happen. The mom-to-be said she would rather have a virtual shower vs a postponed one. Any suggestions of what to do? I still want it to be special. </p>
