Make At-Home Get Togethers More Interactive While Being Socially Distant: Here's a Few Ideas
There is truly no place like home – and that’s a good thing since we have all been spending a great deal of time there lately. Due to the social distancing rules and the fact that many of our local hangouts where we get together are still closed, at-home hosting is now more popular than ever.
​
While our new at-home get together may look a little different than they did last year…that doesn’t mean they can’t be fun! There are a variety of interactive ideas that can elevate your gathering to the next level while still safely socially distancing. Here are some creative ways to add a little excitement to your next at-home - even when you can’t all be together in one place!

AT-HOME HOSTING IDEAS
Virtual Wine Tasting
Indulge with a few close friends or family for a fun and interactive get together that includes your favorite vino. While at-home hosting will only allow for a select few, including extended friends and family is easy with a virtual wine testing. There are a variety of local and national companies who will organize this for you and even ship you the wine! Be prepared for a night of laughs!
Interactive Outdoor BBQ
An outdoor BBQ is always a fun social event for everyone lucky enough to be invited. Instead of leaving all of the work to the host, make it interactive by giving everyone a task to help prepare the feast. From grilling the burgers to buttering the corn, setting the table, and making the homemade pina coladas, everyone will enjoy this fun-filled get together where they get to be a part of the BBQ team!
Digital Happy Hour
Plan a digital happy hour for you and your favorite friends. Utilize a platform like Zoom, Google Hangouts, Skype, and other platforms for interactive ideas for video “meet ups” with your favorite people for your weekly happy hour get together. Bring the chips and salsa and your favorite libations for at-home hosting at its finest with a few close ‘in-person’ friends while you digitally connect for a toast with the others.
Virtual Cooking Class
Instead of spending all day planning and preparing a feast for your family, up your at-home hosting game by treating guests to a virtual cooking class. Not only is this fun for those small groups of friends you’ve been quarantining with, but you can also invite friends and family from all over to join in on the fun online to prepare an amazing meal you can all cook and enjoy “together.”
