Quarantine Event Ideas

Planning events has been a challenge, to say the least, for most of 2020. From a global pandemic prompting nationwide stay-at-home orders to social distancing guidelines, event planners have had to find creative ways to solve unique problems. However, what are event planners if not creative and resourceful!?

And we’re here to help! To that end, we’ve compiled a list of quarantine event ideas- inspired by event planners! 

Drive-By Celebrations

This idea became popularized in areas of the country under shelter-in-place orders from local governments. And, boy, did event planners rise to the occasion! Invited guests can drive past your home and celebrate the day from the safety of their cars.

For example, check out this gorgeous front lawn set-up for a drive-by baby shower, done by L’amour Designs NJ. They even completed the event with party favors for the guests!

A drive-by event can work for a variety of occasions, such as baby showers, birthday parties or graduation celebrations! This quarantine event idea, with the help of the right event planner, is so versatile that even shelter-in-place orders don’t have to prevent you from celebrating a special day.

Paint and Sip

Paint and sip events are another great quarantine event idea. In the time before COVID-19, this type of event was usually hosted by a Paint and Sip venue that would provide step-by-step instructions on how to paint a particular picture, all while enjoying your favorite adult beverage.

However, instead of attending a venue for this event, try recreating it at home! Invite a handful of friends over to a backyard paint and sip party! You can provide the drinks yourself in disposable cups or make it BYOB.

If you need some inspiration, check out this home paint and sip event set-up by Stapled Events, a Chicago, IL-based event planner.

This beautiful, yet simple, set-up sets the stage perfectly for a successful, at-home party. You can throw a backyard painting party for any type of intimate quarantine event or even as a simple get-together for those friends that you’ve been separated from for months!

Picnic

Unfortunately, many city-dwellers don’t have a spacious backyard in which to throw parties that require elaborate set-ups. A picnic, however, is a simple alternative that you can achieve in a public park! 

This set-up by This Messy Table LA shows just how relaxing and luxurious a summertime picnic can be!

With a comfy blanket, maybe a pillow or two, and a basket chock-full of delicious goodies, you have the makings of a perfect summer afternoon. You can arrange a small picnic as a romantic anniversary celebration or just to have an intimate get-together with friends.

Outdoor Movie Night

Movie nights have been popular events since the invention of the “talkies.” With movie theaters still shuttered around the country, however, a backyard movie screening can be an exciting way to have a socially distanced event with friends and family.

Southern California-based Signature Party Rentals shows how outdoor movie screenings can be done right!

With a projector and comfy seats, like the ones pictured here, you can host a movie screening event outdoors and stay safely distanced. With a quarantine event like this, you can enjoy all the amenities of a movie theater while watching a film under the stars.
