Organizing a Class Reunion on Facebook
Yes, you read that right. There is a best way to organize a class reunion on Facebook. You’re looking at it.
Use PayIt2 to organizer your class reunion on Facebook, and you’ll be looking like Class President material. Prom King or Queen, even. Now they’ll know what they were missing out on.
You don’t need to be nominated to get started, just follow these simple steps. Who’s “Most Likely to Organize Class Reunions”? You are.
Consider this the lunchroom. Your Facebook Page will serve as the command center of the social scene of your class. When you, your co-organizers, or classmates publish information to the page’s wall, classmates who liked your page will see the status updates in their news feed. Don’t show off too much with the name, keeping it simple will make it easier for your classmates to find you in their search. Try something like: Payit High Class of 1994.
While you’re busy building your virtual stomping grounds, invite a few classmates to be administrators of the page with you. A little help can’t hurt, right?
Now comes the fun part, the party! Creating a Facebook Event builds anticipation for your reunion, kind of like whispers of Stacy’s parents being out of town did back in high school. Name it something simple like Payit High Class of 1994 20th Reunion. Invite your classmates to join the Facebook event to connect them to information about then When and Where’s, as well as an exclusive invite to the PayIt2 account page you’ll be making in Step 3.
Now is the moment all you cool kids have been waiting for…creating your PayIt2 page.
- Start by logging in, or signing up if you haven’t already.
- Then, click Get Started.
- Select “Event” as your Page Type.
- Here you’ll be able to personalize your page. Here’s what’s on your to-do list:
