How to Throw A Socially Distant Party

Fun & Safe Social Distancing Party Ideas

Social distancing, wearing face masks, and sanitizing are health protocols strongly advised to prevent the spread of COVID-19. Where’s the best place to celebrate your parties? A wide-open space like your yard, garden, or patio. Not only is the space wide enough for your guests to observe social distancing, but you don’t need to pay costly rental fees. 

For your next occasion, may it be a birthday, graduation, gender reveal, or wedding, here are some tips you should consider when throwing a socially distant party:

• Food: Serve pre-packed foods in disposable utensils. Scratch the fruit punch bowl idea and serve your guests with soda or juice in a bottle or can. Skip the part where the celebrant blows the cake, instead give your guests their own cupcake and candle to blow on. Avoid glassware, so you don’t need to wash the dishes; this is for your own safety too. 

• Invitations: Send your invitations online, and make sure to have a headcount of your guests. Make sure to limit the number of your guests depending on the size of your yard so everyone can have a safe social distancing. Advise your guests that if they’re feeling sick to stay at home instead. 

• Sanitation: Provide sanitation at the entrance of your party. Make sure to include alcohol sanitizers, extra face masks, and a handwashing station if possible. Place a yard sign to label your sanitation station, and so guests are encouraged to follow the protocols to have a COVID-free party. 

• Place yard signage/decorations: For yard parties, it is best to use yard decorations. In fact, you can use decorations and signages as one. Party Yard West Palm can provide you with signages that match your theme, with custom messages to remind your guests of the health protocols. You can place custom messages like “WEAR YOUR MASKS AT ALL TIMES” and “PLEASE OBSERVE SOCIAL DISTANCING.” 

• Games and Entertainment: When you think of games, come up with a game that limits close physical interaction. For kid’s birthdays, you can organize an individual play station for kids and let them paint or draw. Entertainment like magicians or clowns is a good addition to a children’s party. Just make sure that the children’s seats are distanced at least one meter apart. 

• Drive-by Parties: This is one of the most popular social distancing party ideas during the pandemic. Decorate your front yard with custom greeting messages from Party Yard West Palm, and have your guests drive-by at your party. Prepare to give them out pre-packed foods as they drive-by. You can also designate a gift drop-off station.
