I'm in my late 30's and have started using Facebook.com to contact friends from my old church, classmates, and it's been a lot of fun for me.

My class reunion was in October and we're looking to get together again soon.

With over 60 of our members of our class online we're sending out an invitation through Facebook.com to go out and eat. For the non-Facebookers we will also use e-mail and telephone to contact folks.

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

Facebook account
Friends on Facebook

Step 1

YOUR FACEBOOK.com ACCOUNT

Go to the HOME tab on Facebook.com and choose the EVENTS - Application on the right side.
Step 2

CLICK ON CREATE AN EVENT

Before you create an event on Facebook.com you will need to deteremine the who, what, when, where and why.

Have all of the details worked out before you create your invitation.

This will ask you for pertinent information regarding your event.

Event Name
Tagline
Host
Event Type
Description
Time/Date
Location
Street
City/Town
Phone
e-Mail
Step 3

SEND AN INVITATION TO YOUR FRIENDS VIA FACEBOOK.COM

Select the Facebook friends you would like to invite and send the invitation.

If you are having a surprise birthday, bon voyage, retirement party event and want to keep it a surprise - this can also be noted on the invitation.
Step 4

HAVE A WONDERFUL TIME

Make sure you have adequate space for your event and have a blast!!!

Facebook.com will keep a list of people who are accepting or declining and you can easily keep track of the attendees. Of course, those folks who use Facebook.com. You will also need to keep track of the people who you are contacting by e-mail, regular mail or some other form of communication.
