Set up an epic viewing station

? Be sure to find a large computer monitor, set up your screencast to the television, and/or connect your computer to an outdoor projector with a sheet for a screen.
Setting up additional chairs and places to sit (pillows and blankets can help!) will also ensure everyone can watch with utmost comfort.
Plan some games
To keep the party going, organizing some games could be a good option!
? Some fun activity ideas that you could likely make at home or order online are…

– Build a photo op station with prideful props and signs
– Host a runway walk contest with your friends

Don’t send guests home empty-handed
Give your guests a little party favor to take home as a piece of remembrance and a thank you for attending.
Might we suggest finding a way for guests to create their own personalized Pride flag?
Or maybe some stickers or sunnies from our 2021 Stay Proud. Stay Connected. collection?
