THE IMPORTANCE OF CELEBRATING MILESTONES

TLDR: Even during COVID-19, celebrate milestones virtually to maintain connections and protect mental wellbeing; use themes and tailored quizzes to break the ice, keep guests engaged, and create a fun, personalized event.

The Covid-19 pandemic has caused many to cancel their weddings, birthdays, and anniversaries as celebrating a birthday during the coronavirus can seem practically impossible. Throwing a house party or going clubbing for a wild-one is a no-go while practicing social distancing, self-isolation or self-quarantine.

Instead of letting coronavir-US turn you into coronavir-ME and spoil your celebrations, exercise your ability to get creative to get together! Especially in moments like these it is crucial for our mental wellbeing to find ways to stay connected with one another and have something good to look forward to – and what better excuse then celebrating a milestone to get family, friends, lover(s), colleagues you name them, in front of a web-camera?

Marking a special date through a screen might not be what you had envisioned but it is the easiest way to get together and have a massive party without breaking the law (nobody wants to get jailed on their hen party right?). If the people you want to invite are a weird mix, don’t know each other and probably don’t have lots in common, you might want to plan ahead one or two things to avoid awkward silences – but rejoice, at least you want have to run from one invitee to another to make sure their glass is full and their having a cracking time!

You can still make it fun – start with giving it a theme for example if you’re planning a birthday you could call it: throwback outfits and make everyone dress and style their hair like when they were young or if it’s a wedding keep it fancy and go for a Great Gatsby ball. Now that you broke the ice having everyone either dressed ridiculously cute or  20’s cool you can concentrate on an activity to get everyone mingling. A Quiz can cater all ages, abilities and preferences and will surely make everyone chatty and merry!

We can tailor quizzes to you or the person you’d like to celebrate with rounds on their hobbies, weird facts and passions… who knows you best? It will surely get everyone competitive but you’ve been warned – it may cause hysterical laughter!

So if you’re ready to scroll away from the image of your perfect birthday and want to embark on a journey of self-discovery and fun, book our bespoke quiz and let’s get quizzical..

Let us know what your celebrating and we’ll create a personalised event for you!
