Organize an online party
If you can't make it to the party, there are still ways to celebrate the birthday online. You can start by making a list of all your friends and family who might be interested in attending the event. Once complete, send the invitations through social networks, such as Facebook or Twitter, so that everyone who wants to know has access.When there are a lot of people confirming their assistance (or even if there is only one confirmed RSVP), consider sending another round of email or text announcements, but make sure there aren't too many people receiving an invite at once.
If possible, choose a theme for your celebration so that everyone knows what kind of atmosphere will be created at each table during meals; That way, guests won't feel awkward sitting among strangers when they should be having fun with their closest friends from a distance."
Send a group card
Forget about creating the typical birthday postcard in which each person adds their signature in their own handwriting followed by a congratulatory message. Now there are online solutions that will allow you to digitize this process so that you can make anyone participate in it regardless of the physical place where they are.Giving the birthday girl a gift signed by all her friends is something truly emotional, but it does not have to be something easy to manage. There always has to be someone who is in charge of all the logistics, notifying those who have not yet signed the postcard, staying in a place so that they come physically one day to add their message, and many other points that ultimately make it something very complicated to carry out.
SendGift offers a digitized solution to all this problem, allowing you to create a postcard from an online portal that will be shared by email, Whatsapp, SMS or the channel you prefer. All people who want to participate will receive a link that they can access to add their congratulatory message.
With each new signature added to the group card, the creator of the card will receive a notification so that they can keep track of all the people participating in it. When everyone has added their messages, the postcard will be automatically sent to the recipient who can download it and keep it as a nice memory forever.
Invitation to a movie or show
If you want to celebrate their birthday, but can't go in person, why not invite them to a movie or a show? They will love being invited on an adventure with their friends and family.If you are looking for something more interactive, consider inviting them to play sports. There are plenty of opportunities for a friend or family member to socialize and meet new people at the game; just make sure that if the game is close (or even if it isn't), you let them know beforehand so they don't end up missing out on something fun by being too far from home.
Plan a "virtual date"
This is the easiest way to plan a virtual surprise, and also the funniest! You can schedule an appointment online, with a video chat. Your friends will be able to see you in real time as you prepare for your day together. The only thing left to do is make sure they're aware that this isn't really an in-person date - it'll feel more like an impromptu "virtual date" than anything else once they realize it's not actually happening.Host a group video chat
Hosting a group video chat is a great way to celebrate your birthday without having to travel far.Invite friends and family who can't physically come in person, or who just want to talk to you. You can use the services mentioned above (Skype, FaceTime, Google Hangouts) or one of the many other similar ones that exist on the market today.
Bring a cake and have it delivered right to your home screen! So everyone will have something delicious and appetizing while waiting for the presence of others remotely.
If you want something simpler than cake, but tasty enough that people won't realize there's no sweets in this celebration, consider bringing balloons and streamers.
