Planning a virtual shower for a spouse-to-be, couple, or expectant parents? Did you know that the best way to keep your virtual shower organized and entertaining is by preparing and delivering virtual shower kits ahead of the event date?

Virtual shower event kits are a party in a box! They contain activities, snacks, favours, and other items needed to create a fun and festive environment in each guest’s home. Here are a few different virtual shower event kits that you can easily DIY with help from Avery labels, cards, and more!

A Personalized Dinner Kit

One of the easiest virtual shower kits you can pull together is actually a great idea for any occasion. The Personalized Dinner kit provides guests with everything they need to enjoy some virtual fun with friends (no awkward shower games included)! The focus of this kit is a gift card (or code) for a meal delivery service, which gives guests the ability to choose any meal they want. It’s also fun to include an activity, some snacks, and favours. TIP: Add a label to the inside of the box, listing the box’s contents and instructions for ordering dinner (not everyone is familiar with meal delivery services).

Signature Cocktail Kits

Get the besties together for a virtual happy hour that gives the guest of honour’s signature cocktail centre stage! Signature cocktail kits should include everything your guests will need to create a favourite cocktail. TIP: Add anticipation to the event, by sealing the box filled with ingredients and applying a large label that instructs recipients not to open it until the event begins!

Cookie or Cupcake Decorating Kits

Cookie and cupcake decorating kits are a fun activity for wedding showers, baby showers, birthday parties and other occasions. The particularly nice thing about these kits is that they make it easy to get multiple guests involved in one household (especially when there are kids in the house). To pull this kit together, package up premade cookies (it’s a fun idea to make cutout cookies that match your theme, such as baby bottles, bibs, or flowers), piping bags pre-filled with icing, sprinkles, and any other accessories your guests might enjoy.

Makeover Kits

Bring the excitement of unboxing a cosmetics subscription box to your wedding shower or birthday party! This virtual party kit works best in smaller groups, where the host knows each guest very well. This is because you’ll be filling makeup bags with fun, new cosmetics, tools, and accessories that you want them to love. So you need to know what might work best for them.

On the day of the event play a favourite or outrageously fun makeup tutorial video for everyone via the share screen functionality in your online meeting room. TIP: Personalize each makeup bag with the recipient’s name!

No matter what type of virtual shower you plan to host, be sure to add a personal touch to your box items and to the box itself. Use the different labels, cards, transfers and free templates from Avery to create personalized virtual shower kits AND memories that last!
