How to Throw a Virtual Happy Hour With Your Friends (and The Bus!)

Virtual Happy Hour with Friends
My wife and I were invited to a virtual happy hour with some friends, and now that many of us are teleconferencing for work, we have a pretty good handle on how to use Zoom, Google Hangouts, Skype or Facetime. If you are new to the idea - here are a few tips from Town and Country to skip the work meeting and setup your own virtual happy hour! Ready to put the “social” into social distancing?
  • Step 1: Pick your platform- The most important part of a virtual cocktail party is the people, so choose your guests then decide how everyone is going to connect, on FaceTime, Skype, Google Hangouts, or Zoom.
  • Step 2: Choose a cocktail- You can go with a classic, martinis or margaritas, or expand your palate with something new. Then share the recipe with your group so everyone can mix their drinks and sip together.
  • Step 3: Set the scene- Figure out the best lighting for your virtual get together, assign one guest to play DJ for everyone so everyone can enjoy the music - EVEN BETTER - play 100.3 THE BUS on the iHeartRadio app!
  • Step 4: Get dressed- A costume change will help you get in the party mood and finally give you a reason to wear something other than leggings. You can go all out and put on a fancy dress or go glam like an old Hollywood starlet and slip on a luxurious robe. It’s not about how you look, but how it makes you feel, so if putting on makeup and doing your hair makes you happy, go for it.
  • Step 5: Make a pantry-friendly snack- What’s a cocktail party without finger food? Whip up something tasty with whatever you have on hand - or don’t if you’re not feeling it, since you’ll be the only one there to eat it.
  • Step 6: Enjoy yourself- Now it’s time to connect with the people you care about, so even if you didn’t do all the steps on this list and simply pour a glass of wine while wearing the same t-shirt you’ve had on for three days, go have a good time. You deserve it.
