Virtual parties are a great way to celebrate without having to travel or spend much money. Parties can be customized, personalized, and enjoyed from the comfort of your own home!
Here is a list of 20 virtual birthday party ideas that you might want to consider for your next celebration:
1) Virtual Party Invitations - Send out invitations online to save on postage and envelopes. Online you can create invitations, post them on blogs and schedule them to be delivered in your time zone. Also, if the guest list is too large for one invitation, send individual emails instead of sending a mass email blast.
2) Virtual Food Pyramid - Create a virtual food pyramid by including pictures or links to favorite recipes from other blogs or websites.
3) Online Cake - Have a virtual cake with candles and sing to the guest of honor. Include a place for everyone online to leave birthday messages or ‘happy birthday wishes for your special guest.

5) Virtual Pinata - Fill a bucket or pinata full of virtual goodies such as keychains, candy, and stickers. These items can be traded to create a treasure hunt-style party game.
6) Online Balloon Pop - Set up a balloon pop game on the computer! Divide everyone into teams or have one person hit balloons until they burst.
