How to Send Invitations to a Group Using Facebook

Facebook invitations are delivered to a user's home page.

Facebook groups are a way to connect with other people on the social networking site with a common interest or background. If you want to plan a real world event with group members, use the site's event service to deliver invitations to the group. Only a group administrator is allowed to initiate event invitations to the group, and the group member list cannot exceed 5,000 people to use the service.

Instructions

1. Point your browser to the Facebook group. Groups are listed in the left column of your Facebook homepage -- click "See All" beneath the list if you don't see the group you are looking for on the home page.

2. Click the "Create Event" link in the right column of the screen.

3. Fill out the date and time fields for your event. Create a name for the event in the "What are you planning?" field.

4. Check the box next to "Invite members of the host group [Your Group Name]" at the bottom of the event creation form. If you want to invite nonmembers, click the "Select Guests" tab and check the box next to users' names -- you may only invite people on your own friend list.

5. Click "Create Event."
