By: Celleste Mae Dejarme It’s late in the afternoon, but the sun is still up. The orange shade of the clouds in the sky makes you wonder what to do for the party tonight. Summer has come, and the year has changed, from outdoor parties and numbers of invitees to simple gatherings with your warm and loving family. From the food to prepare for the people you care about, you cannot digest all of the changes you got to ingest.
Parties and gatherings might not be the same as how it was before. The impact of the pandemic has caused a massive difference in every individual’s lifestyle. Even the casual occasions that were usually celebrated in typical ways had been altered to ensure that everyone’s safety is the top priority. When the world suddenly came to an unusual stop, a home was everyone’s most preferred place for assured security to protect their own family. Now you thought to yourself, on days where celebrations are a must. Still, you have to make sure that being safe is never to be lost. A simple yet homey celebration is the one to trust. So, on certain occasions, we give you a few of the most helpful ideas to make it lovely and precious to everybody’s memory: 1. Choose a fun theme Staying at home has been the new normal, and it’s been a challenge for the young ones to keep up. Going out and spending most of their time with friends was what they were used to. So, making sure that the theme is fun, not just for one but for everyone, will make the party merry and beautifully done. 2. Get your gifts online Since most occasions are for giving gifts and sweet treats, the safest way to obtain it is through the online platform with that “add to cart” button. Upon receiving a parcel, always make sure to provide a place at your home for disinfection to assure your family’s utmost protection. Check out these top online shopping sites to get you started! 3. Serve the Family’s Favourite Meal The look on their faces whenever they smell their favorite dishes is such a sight to see. Showered with all your efforts and love, everything you cook is all they will ever look for. 4. Virtually invite family and friends over Since actual gatherings at home cannot be done. The most practical way to have fun with them is to use social media sites and have a good time with video calls online. Though restrictions are still up, there are still plenty of ways to get a celebration worthwhile at the comfort of your own homes. At Camella, we wanted to ensure that everyone is safe while having the best of what they deserve. We know the value of a family member’s happiness, and we treasure your wellness. No matter how simple a celebration might be, remember that it will always be the people you are with and the efforts you put into preparing it that will make it memorable. Camella knows by heart that the most satisfying thing to see is the smile on your beloved ones’ eyes even during these trying times. We hope that you and your family get the most fun and happy memories that will be remembered by everyone. Learn more by visiting www.camella.com.ph. |
