How to Properly Invite People to a Facebook Event

Facebook events are free to create and manage.

Facebook events make it easy to organize your friends and family for an upcoming party or other affair. Invite friends either via their Facebook accounts or through their email addresses if they aren't currently active on Facebook. Once your friend receives your invitation, she is able to quickly respond and let you know if she will be present or not. Invite friends when you create the event, and if you forget to invite someone, return to the event at a later time and extend another invitation.

Instructions

1. Click the "Events" tab in the left column of the Facebook homepage.

2. Click on the name of your event, if it already exists, in the list of upcoming events. Click "Edit Event" and go to the "Guest List" tab. Enter the name of a Facebook friend in the empty field in the upper right corner of the screen. Facebook generates a list of friends that match your entry. Click a friend's name once to select her. If your friend is not on Facebook, enter her full email address in the field instead. Click "Send Invitation Emails."

3. Click "Create an Event" in the "Events" tab if you have not previously created a page for your event. After entering in the date, time and place details for your affair, click the "Select Guests" button near the bottom of the window. Check the box next to each friend you want to invite, or enter a friend's email address in the "Invite by Email" field at the bottom of the window. Click "Close and Save." Click the blue "Create Event" button to officially post your event and send the invites.
