Get Creative with an Online Special Event
Published
My family members are scattered across many states. And with travel particularly limited at this time, our family can’t be together in person for special events such as weddings, retirements, and birthday parties. So this year, I decided to get a little creative for my daughter’s sixth birthday.
We connected our Apple TV so that we could meet in real time while everyone sang Happy Birthday. This experience kept all of us engaged, and everyone shared in the message together—and at the same time!
