It is difficult to keep the vibe going after a few minutes, especially during a virtual bachelorette party. So, invite an artist to lift your spirits. You can call a musician or a stand-up comedian depending on the vibe you want. This will not only brighten up the bride’s mood but will also give you something to talk about for months to come.
7. Give a heartfelt speech

This is the part where it gets sappy. Prepare some heartfelt speeches for the bride. Write a poem or a song, if that’s what your relationship is like. Every person can talk about some good memories with the bride. This doesn’t have to be planned too much and can be done spontaneously, especially if everyone has had their fair share of alcohol.
