How It Works
How to Host a Long Distance Baby Shower
Set Up Your Video Call
Start a Zoom or WhatsApp call and invite distant family. Place a screen where everyone in the room can see and hear them.
Create Your Reveal on RevealTogether
Set up your gender reveal countdown in 2 minutes. This is the shared moment everyone will experience together.
Share the Link with Everyone
Send the same RevealTogether link to guests in the room (on their phones) and guests on video (on their devices).
Count Down Together
Everyone counts down and sees the reveal at the exact same moment. Grandparents 5,000 miles away react in real time.
What is a Long Distance Baby Shower?
A long distance baby shower brings family and friends across any distance together for a celebration that feels as connected as an in-person event. Using video calling, online activity tools, and RevealTogether's synchronized reveal platform, you create a shower where guests in five different cities open gifts at the same time, play the same games, and share the same emotional moments.
The format is more flexible than a physical shower. Send guests a digital invitation with a link to your online gift registry, a schedule of shower activities, and the RevealTogether link if you're including a gender reveal. Guests join from their own homes, which eliminates travel, childcare, and venue logistics — and often results in better attendance than in-person events.
For the best virtual shower experience, explore our full virtual baby shower guide and our baby shower ideas collection — both include games that work beautifully over video, gift ideas for distant guests, and timing recommendations for keeping energy high throughout the event. Pair with a long distance gender reveal if the gender hasn't been announced yet.

Reviews
What families are saying
“We used Reveal Together for the gender reveal in our long-distance baby shower. Coordinating 40+ guests across 4 time zones was surprisingly easy. Our guests called it the most fun virtual event they'd attended.”
Lindsey & Mark
Boston, USA · Virtual shower host
“My best friends are scattered across the country. We couldn't do an in-person shower, so we did everything virtually — including the gender reveal with Reveal Together. It became the absolute highlight of the day.”
Jade
Atlanta, USA · Baby shower guest of honor
“The synchronized reveal moment in the middle of our virtual baby shower completely changed the energy. Everyone was screaming, laughing, crying. Better than any in-person party I've been to.”

Common Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
How do you include grandparents who live far away in a baby shower?
Choose a video platform (Zoom, Google Meet, or FaceTime), create an online gift registry (Babylist, Amazon, or Buy Buy Baby), and plan 2–3 games that work over video. Send digital invitations 3–4 weeks in advance with all the links. On the day, run the games in the first 20–30 minutes, open gifts while the group watches, and close with a group toast. Add a RevealTogether countdown if the gender is being announced at the shower.
What is the best platform for a long distance baby shower?
Virtual shower games that work well: Baby Price Is Right (guess retail prices of baby products), Baby Bingo (mark off items as the parents open gifts), emoji baby movie quiz (guess the film from baby-themed emojis), and "how well do you know the parents?" trivia. Keep each activity to 5–7 minutes and use a free polling tool like Mentimeter to keep everyone participating simultaneously.
How do guests send gifts to a long distance baby shower?
Absolutely. Choose a time that works for the majority of key guests and communicate timezone-specific start times clearly in the invitation. Guests who cannot attend live can join asynchronously by watching a recording and shipping a gift. The RevealTogether reveal link can also be shared with non-attending guests so they experience the gender reveal moment even if they miss the shower itself.
Can long distance guests play baby shower games?
Send guests a small "shower kit" before the event: a confetti sachet, a small treat, or a printed photo of the parents. When guests open these during the call, it creates a shared tactile moment that bridges the physical distance. If the gender is being announced at the shower, use RevealTogether so everyone opens their link simultaneously for a coordinated reveal on every screen.
What if some family members aren't comfortable with technology?
Online registries like Babylist, Amazon Baby Registry, and Buy Buy Baby allow guests to ship gifts directly to the parents regardless of where the guest lives. Include the registry link in the digital invitation. For cash gifts, link a Venmo, PayPal, or dedicated account. Virtual gift experiences — cooking classes, streaming subscriptions, food delivery credits — are also very popular among long-distance guests who want something more personal.
