How to Plan a Virtual Bachelorette Party for Long-Distance Guests
With friends scattered across the country (or the globe), gathering everyone in one place for a bachelorette party isn’t always possible. But distance doesn’t have to stop the fun! A virtual bachelorette party can be just as memorable and engaging.

Whether as a virtual get together for those who can’t make the in-person party, or for your main bachelorette celebration, we’ve put together a guide to planning a fabulous online bachelorette party that will make the bride feel extra special.
Even virtual bachelorette parties require planning and organization, so while you’re here why not grab a copy of our FREE Bachelorette party planner? Even though not every section of this planner will be relevant to a virtual bacheloretet party, it’s FREE so you’ve got nothing to lose!
Pick the Perfect Platform
The foundation of a successful virtual party is the right video platform. Choose one that’s easy to use and accommodates all the guests.
Suggestions:
- Zoom: Popular for its breakout room feature and customizable backgrounds.
- Google Meet: Simple and accessible for all with no time limits.
- Pro Tip: Test the platform ahead of time to ensure everyone knows how to join and use key features.
Choose a Theme
A cohesive theme brings flair and excitement, even online.
Ideas for virtual theme ideas:
- “PJs & Prosecco”: Think cozy robes, bubbly drinks, and facemasks.
- “Bach to Y2k”: Embrace the online theme with a nod to the days of dial up internet and MSN messenger
- “Long Distance Love”: Incorporate the countries or cities each guest is located in and dress up accordingly.
Ask everyone to decorate their background or use themed virtual backgrounds to set the mood.
Send Out Virtual Invitations
Get the party started with fun digital invites that include all the important details. Our themed Bachelorette party invitations are instant download Canva templates that you can edit completely for free.
The template comes with 2 sizes – 5×7” for printing (if you choose to mail them) and a mobile size for sharing with your guests instantly.
What to Include:
- Date and time (consider time zones)
- Video call link and password
- Theme and attire (if applicable)
Plan Engaging Activities
Virtual parties thrive on interactive games and shared experiences. Our signature Bachelorette Games Bundle is available in a range of themes. As it comes as an instant download digital pdf, copies can easily be sent to each guest to refer to or print out during the virtual bachelorette party.
Each bundle comes as either a non editable or editable Canva template version (sold separately), so you can tweak the games as required to suit a virtual event.
Almost all of the games included can be played virtually, as follows:
How Old Was the Bride photo game – create a slideshow of photos of the bride from throughout her life. Guests use the included sheet to guess how old she is in each picture.
Scavenger Hunt – Give guests a list of items to find in their homes (like something old, blue, or borrowed).
Would she rather…(clean and optional dirty versions)
20 Questions about the Bride-to-be – guests can write their answers down on the sheets provided then compare answers
What did the Groom Say? (Clean and optional dirty versions) – Get the groom to record video answers to the questions in advance. Once guests have written down their answers, play his responses to compare
Never or Ever (Clean and optional dirty versions) – Guests can take turns to answer who has never or ever done each statement.
Over or Under: The guests need to guess whether the stated number is over under or correct, for example, there are 4 groomsmen in the wedding party. You could add in questions about the number of miles apart the guests are!
Bride or Groom? – Guests need to decide whether the bride or groom is the answer, for example who snores the loudest?
Don’t forget to award some virtual prizes to the winners of each game! Whether this is a digital giftcard or just a fun printable certificate, prizes can still be awarded virtually!

DIY Cocktail Class
Send a recipe list ahead of time for a signature cocktail everyone can make together during the call.
Buy The Bride A Drink QR Code
Great for sharing on social media or just amongst the group, we have a range of editable Buy The Bride a Drink templates for both sharing digitally on socials and group chats. This allows guests to scan the QR code linked to the bride’s bank account and virtually buy her a drink!
This could be a great way of the virtual guests playing a part in an in-person bachelorette party that they are unable to attend.
All you need to do is add in your own Venmo, Paypal or other payment app QR code. Wondering how you do that? Don’t worry, we’ve got all the steps broken down in this post: How to Create A Buy The Bride A Drink Custom QR code
Create a Shared Playlist
Set the mood with a collaborative playlist filled with the bride’s favorite songs. Use platforms like Spotify or Amazon Music to let everyone contribute their top picks. Play the music in the background for a lively atmosphere.
Send Care Packages
Make the virtual experience feel tangible by mailing party kits.
Include:
- Mini bottles of bubbly – personalise with our editable sticker templates
- Snacks or sweet treats care packages
- Custom t-shirts or sashes
- Hangover kits

Incorporate Digital Keepsakes
Capture the memories with screenshots or create a shared digital scrapbook. Guests can upload photos, notes, and messages for the bride to keep.
