HOW TO VIRTUALLY CELEBRATE SPECIAL MOMENTS WITH LOVED ONES

Celebrating special life moments with loved ones in person might have come to a halt, but there are still new ways to rejoice these important times in life. 

As announced from the CDC (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention), gatherings larger than 10 are prohibited at this time and a 6 foot distance of social distancing is mandatory. This puts many events at a complete halt or postponed. 

Milestone events like graduation and prom, are leaving kids around the country heartbroken as they were looking forward to celebrating their last semester in school before embarking on a new journey. On the other hand, brides are also postponing their wedding day or honeymoons, causing some new obstacles while planning their wedding events.

During this uncertain time, individuals are now rethinking how to celebrate these important life moments with their friends and family still present. With the power of the technology, live video calls are now serving as a format to celebrate these wonderful life moments. From Group FaceTime, Zoom, Instagram Live, and more, here is a guide on how to celebrate these important life moments with your loved ones while practicing social distancing. 

CELEBRATE PROM NIGHT VIRTUALLY

When it comes to high school, Prom is a right of passage for many high school students. It is a long tradition of celebrating the last moments of high school with your closest friends, getting dressed up, and dancing all night long. 

With many schools closed down early or mid semester, schools have been canceling all events that mostly took place towards the end of the school year. Students look forward to this event and many have their gowns and tuxedos picked months in advance. An alternative to prom is now trending with many high schoolers planning a virtual prom so kids can still have an unforgettable night with their closest friends. Many seniors across the country are trying out different platforms to see which one can work best. Some students are already planning their own huge Group FaceTime or Tik Tok prom where they will dress up in their prom dresses and their dates will wear their tuxes and be their own DJ’s and have a party. These moments will lift your spirits and help to add some fun into your routine and you will still be able to celebrate this special event before parting ways with one another. 

Get creative!  It’s a perfect silver lining that students all across the country are able to do. With social distancing, this is a great alternative for re-creating their special night. 

LIVESTREAM WEDDING CELEBRATIONS

Venues, photographers, caters may have been rescheduled, but love doesn’t have to be.
