During quarantine, individuals are unable to celebrate their birthdays traditionally, but there are some alternatives while on P.A.U.S.E.
One creative way to celebrate could be a car parade. Car parades have become a new trend by which friends and loved ones drive down the block in their decorated automobiles honking in honor of the birthday person. Car parades are a good way to see your friends without breaking the 6 feet social distance rule.
Another way to celebrate a birthday is a movie party. The NetFlix Party app provides a new way to watch movies together with friends simultaneously from various locations with a chat function on the side bar.
Use Memoji on your iPhone or iPad Pro as a facemask for your special online birthday party.
Of course revelers can gather via Facetime, Discord, or Hangouts to have the full birthday party experience, even hosting online dance parties on platforms such as Zoom.
Although we may be dealing with troubling times, these ideas can help brighten someone’s birthday, and will certainly make their time in quarantine special.
