For a breakfast or morning bridal shower, you could encourage your virtual guests to have coffee or tea with you. An afternoon or evening virtual event you and your guests could talk over wine. If you want something more on the sweeter side, you could drink a non alcoholic punch or lemonade.

Desserts

Just like food, you will not need as much for a virtual bridal shower. You could make a small cake or something big enough for the household. A virtual bridal shower dessert is a mini cupcake pull apart engagement ring.
