Practicing social distancing during you or your friend’s birthday might be disappointing, but you can take this opportunity to get creative and show them your love \u2013 even at a distance. Here are just a few ways to do that.<\/p>\n
Plan a virtual party<\/strong> Send an e-card<\/strong> Order a cake<\/strong> Send a video or voice recording<\/strong>
\nUse Zoom, Google Hangouts, FaceTime, or your app of choice to get a bunch of people together, chat, and sing \u201cHappy Birthday.\u201d You can all send your friend gifts and watch them open them in front of you on this special day. To make it feel more like a real party, create a theme, and have everyone dress accordingly. If you want to plan a surprise party, you can have others pop into the call unexpectedly.<\/p>\n
\nOne easy way to make your friend\u2019s day more special is to head to a site like Hallmark<\/span><\/a> or <\/span>Blue Mountain<\/span><\/a> and create an e-card that\u2019ll get sent right to their email inbox.<\/span><\/p>\n
\nYou can get a birthday cake ordered to your friend\u2019s home via sites like Bake Me a Wish<\/span><\/a> or even customize a cake online through <\/span>Walmart<\/span><\/a>, which lets you write your own message on the frosting.<\/span><\/p>\n
\nFor something they\u2019ll be able to save forever, ask your friends to record a video singing and offering the birthday person their best wishes and words of appreciation. To combine birthday video messages from people in multiple places, you can use Vidhug<\/a>.<\/p>\n
