HERE’S TO NEW-AGE BIRTHDAY PARTIES
Key demographic milestones of your child are most important and as the child grows a must-do is a birthday party. However, due to Covid-19, many parents have lately refrained from hosting a party. But just as you can corral your children around a computer to attend virtual school, it is possible to create a video birthday party that is both interactive and fun in today’s time.
One such event planner Priyanka Batra prefers to know the child, their likes and dislikes and accordingly plans invites, gifts and games. “So we first send out DIY kits to children which includes chocolate and an activity kit - DIY customised magnets which a child will make during the call. These kits are sent with invites and also act as return gifts,” she says.
The duration of such virtual celebration is often short and precise. “I had a party for my 10-year-old girl. They played games and made a jewellery – the pieces were sent with the invite – which made them feel accomplished,” says Swati Sharma.
And many are hosting theme virtual parties as well. “We got many requests from parents. They want the child to have a cheerful birthday. Every child has to dress up as per the theme which could be princess or a simple colour that’s available in every wardrobe,” says entrepreneur Ruchita Bansal.
Planners also curated themed stationery box, personalised for each kid attending such virtual party. They were hand delivered to each of the attendee’s place during the party, so they felt being part of the celebration by all means.
