Collect Money to Host a Party to Watch the Big Game

Parties

The Big Game is just around the corner, and you’ve been appointed "party planner extraordinaire." You’ve got some serious preparation to do. Take a deep breath and try not to panic! Because, believe it or not, there’s much more to the sporting event of the year than just drinking beer and staring at a screen. Need to rethink your game plan? We’ve got you covered!

Prepare Football-Themed Food

You’re never too old for party food! Ask your guests to bring football stadium-style snacks like nachos, wings or mini microwavable hot dogs – just like a soccer-themed Iron Chef. Preparing a larger meal but on a budget? Ask your friends to cover the cost of ingredients. Collecting money online with PayIt2 is a lot easier than you think!

Plan an Alternative Halftime Show

Want to relive Beyonce’s halftime extravaganza from 2013? Or Michael Jackson’s game-changing performance from 1993? Create your alternative halftime show by taking a trip down musical memory lane on YouTube. Loud singing and awkward dancing is encouraged!

Decorate Your TV Room in Team Colors

Get into the party spirit by decorating your TV room in team colors. Beware: the cost of tableware, napkins and plastic plates can add up. Want to get your quarters back? Use PayIt2 to collect money from your attendees before the big event.

Get Your Guests on Their Feet

Place your party food in the kitchen; this will encourage your guests to get up and stretch their legs instead of slouching on the sofa for hours on end. Finger food–like nuggets, pizza slices and cookies –always goes down well. But make sure your buddies get some exercise before they fill their plate!

Give Out a Prize

Before the game, have your guests to predict the final score. Whoever gets closest gets some football swag. A bottle of wine or box of chocolates makes a great prize for the winner. You’ll want to know how many people are attending your event before you start planning activities. Take charge with a Manage List on PayIt2 for more efficient party planning!

Hand Out Party Accessories to Your Guests

Foam fingers and pom-poms make fantastic party accessories–hand them out when your guests arrive. Just don’t forget to take a photo! Encourage your guests to contribute to the entertainment fund via PayIt2.

How collecting money works

#1 You create a Collect Page

Create your own custom Collect Page.

Choose color themes
Upload images
Customize everything

Then share with family and friends through Facebook, Twitter, and email.

#2 An online payment is made

Friends, family, and anyone else can now make an online payment to your new Collect Page. At checkout you can even ask custom questions like "Why am I the coolest person ever?".

All major credit cards can be accepted.

#3 Stripe processes the payment

To accept payments online you must use our vetted Payment Processor. Our payment processor, Stripe, sets you up with an account automagically when you sign up for PayIt2. After you connect a bank account to Stripe, everything else is taken care of for you.

It only takes 2-3 business days to transfer your money

#4 Money is in your bank account

Now that you have the funds, it's time to use them. While organizing, use the Manage List to see who has paid and who hasn’t. Here you can also manage refunds, contact payers, and view payment information. This gives you all the information you need to give you peace of mind and make sure everything goes smoothly.
