There are multiple ways to celebrate the most romantic day of the year but this year, it’s all about going virtual. If you’re planning on staying indoors this Valentine’s Day (which, you should be) then you’re probably already in the process of gathering all the assets that go into how to host a Zoom party. Between invitations, virtual activities and catching up with your friends, many tend to forget to show themselves some love by decorating their own virtual space. As love is an emotion that’s often hard to express, let your Zoom background do the talking for you.

Valentine’s Day provides lots of creative ways to show off your amoré. You can choose backgrounds like your favorite scene from a rom-com like How To Lose A Guy In Ten Days or Crazy, Stupid, Love. Or you can go the nostalgic route and use the classic candy hearts, and if you’re feeling especially lovey dovey, use a picture of you and your special someone. Single? Show the best person, aka yourself, some love by using a favorite picture of yours truly. Don’t forget to take votes on whose background radiates the most love. PS these backgrounds also make great Zoom ice breaker conversations!

Here are some of the best Valentine’s Day backgrounds for Zoom parties.
