In a time when contact restrictions are the rule rather than the exception, it's important to look for alternatives like online parties in some areas of everyday life.
Chats are still popular when it comes to meeting new people. However, if you want, you can also use such a chat to plan a singles party - virtually, of course.
In the chat you can often find like-minded people, so that the compilation of the "guest list" should not be difficult.
But what is the best way to go about planning such an event? Are there any tips that can turn a virtual singles party into a real experience?
Tip No. 1: For really good online parties you should invite as broadly as possible
As in real life, not everyone will have time on date XY. Therefore, it is better to invite a few more people.
The easiest way to do this is, of course, via the aforementioned chat. Especially when the host has been on a portal for a little longer, he certainly knows one or the other "regular customer".
There should be no secret about the motto of the online parties. Single parties are still "in" when it comes to meeting gays for one night or the next partnership.
Tip No. 2: Organize a catering
What would a party be without delicious food? If you want to be particularly exclusive here, you should make sure that every virtual guest has - at least to some extent - the same buffet at their disposal.
The best way to do this is with a mobile caterer. However, if the guests are spread all over Germany, it makes more sense to either send out recipes in advance or, for example, to refer to the respective local pizza service.
Tip No. 3: Create different premises
Many providers for online parties offer the possibility to create different rooms within an event. These do not have to be named elaborately.
Anyway, everyone knows that the best parties "alwaystake placein the kitchen", right? In the context of a singles party, however, it makes sense to go one step further and, for example, also create a BDSM and/or a swinger room. Here the host can ensure that people with the corresponding preferences find each other a little faster.
Tip No. 4: Be sure to keep chats and online parties separate from each other.
Chats and virtual singles parties both offer numerous opportunities to put an end to being single. While Chats enable you to get to know many different people as quickly as possible, online parties are an excellent way to hold longer, virtual conversations with chat buddies, for example.
However, the boundaries are fluid here as well. Thus, both chats and parties are often used quite individually.
Tip #5: Pack party boxes
This tip is perfect for anyone whose number of guests is still largely manageable. How about small surprise boxes sent by mail a few days before the event?
This can contain, for example, party games, snacks or the like. The boxes are then opened together during the party and often ensure that the conversation (even with rather shy singles) should not run out.
Tip no. 6: create or fulfill the appropriate technical and organizational requirements
The good news is that it usually doesn't take much to organize your own online singles party. A few singles, a stable Internet connection and a little ingenuity, coupled with the right online party provider, are all it takes.
To ensure that everyone who wants to can take part in the event and that there are no small details that prevent a guest from attending, it makes sense to send out a small list in advance.
With the help of a step-by-step guide, it is usually easier for people with less Internet affinity to create the basic conditions for an unforgettable evening. In case of an "emergency," the host should also provide his or her cell phone number.
