Problems solved by technology
However, these known systems and methods do not pool payments received from guests and do not distribute portions of the received payments to other entities.
However, the pooled payments are not distributed to a host of an event or other entities.
The trend of each guest bringing a wrapped gift may promote consumerism, may generate a large amount of waste and may be excessive as the child may already have more than enough material goods.

The present invention relates to a method, a system and a physical computer readable medium for distributing payment to a host of an event and a second entity by receiving payment confirmations indicating payment amounts from guests for the event. The payment amounts for all received confirmations are aggregated. Using the aggregated payment amounts, a first payment total and a second payment total are calculated and distributed to the host of the event and a second entity, respectively. The present invention further relates to a method for managing an event. The method involves registering a host, registering an event, and registering guests for the event. In response to receiving notification from at least one guest, status information for the event is provided to the host. The status information includes: the event, the guests, and at least some information based on the received notification.
Description
FIELD[0001]Embodiments described herein relate generally to systems and methods for managing an event and, in particular, to systems and methods for managing an event and for distributing payment to a host of the event and a second entity.INTRODUCTION[0002]Known systems and methods for managing an event allow a host of the event to send out electronic invitations to potential guests of the event. Some of these known systems and methods provide a website where a guest can confirm that they wish to attend the event. Guests may be required to submit an electronic payment at the website to purchase a ticket in order to attend the event. However, these known systems and methods do not pool payments received from guests and do not distribute portions of the received payments to other entities.[0003]Other known systems and methods allow people to submit an electronic payment at the website to participate in a sports pool, for example. A sports pool generally allows all participants to bet ...
