Count Down to 2017 With These Event Tips

The holidays are here! It’s hard to believe that we’re wrapping up 2016. This season is a great time to celebrate with friends and family. Planning celebrations can be overwhelming, but good news is we’re here to help! memberplanet has the tools you need to plan your New Year’s Eve party, or any festivity you choose to celebrate. Let the countdown begin to your next great event.

Create your Event
The first step is to create the event. We’ve made the process quick and easy. (Learn how to create an event.)

Time to get excited. Once the event is made, and the invitations have been sent out via memberplanet, your guests can access the event page to RSVP, make payments (for an event ticket, or toward food, decorations, and the like), and make comments. 

Send a Broadcast
​Forgot the poppers for when the clock strikes midnight? We’ve got you covered. Our Broadcast feature makes it easy to send reminders about items to bring to the party last minute or for details about the event. You can send a reminder from the app that will go directly to guests' cell phones and/or emails — mass communication made simple.
 
Need a reminder for yourself to send the broadcast? Not a problem – schedule it to be sent ahead of time so you’ll never forget.

​Collect payments
​It’s the day of the party. The gathering and the new year are mere hours away. A bunch of friends show up at the last minute. You can collect a payment for their food and drinks from the mobile app while you’re on the go. You don’t need any extra hardware; simply snap a picture of their card (which isn’t stored to the system) and you’re done.

​Upload Photo Album
After the party lights have dimmed and you all head home with wonderful memories, make sure to memorialize the event. Upload photos from your event, and even allow guests to upload their own to the same album. Since it’s accessible from the app, the memories will stay with you for years to come.

Less time making an event will result in more fun for you and your guests. We hope you have a wonderful holiday season and a happy new year. Cheers!
