It’s likely that your in-person baby shower had to be postponed, or worse, cancelled due to coronavirus concerns. However, with everything going virtual, there’s no reason your baby shower can’t do the same! While there will be differences from an actual in-person baby shower, it can still be just as fun. First up, you will need a meeting place. WebBabyShower is set up just for virtual baby showers. It provides an all-in-one experience for shower-goers, including a customizable site, invitations, guestbook, games, quizzes, and photo album. However, you will still need a place to see each other’s faces! Zoom, Facebook, Skype, or Google Hangouts are all good options. Want to add in decorations? You still can! If you already had your balloons and decor ready to go, why not include them in your background? If you want to open gifts, you can still do that, too. Have your guests send their gift to you ahead of time, and you can open them during the party. Just don’t forget to send back a thank you card!
