Lili’s birthday

One notable upside of a virtual celebration is that distant family and friends who might otherwise not be able to attend an in-person event, can now participate in a birthday video chat or other virtual hangout. Many of these quarantine birthday ideas can be customized depending on what the guest of honor is interested in or comfortable doing, and even the most technologically inept family member (looking at you, Uncle Ernie) can figure out how to attend after a quick trial run (or three). Whether you’re planning for yourself or trying to organize a birthday surprise for a loved one, there’s surely a tried and true way to make the day truly special.
