How to Display an Event on Your Facebook Wall

Display an event on your Facebook wall to inform your friends.

Facebook is more than just a way to stay in contact with friends, family and coworkers. It is an efficient way to post pictures and videos and to send invitations for events. You can create an event or post a link to any event on your wall that you have been invited to attend. This way, all your friends can view and respond to the event. If you didn't create the event, are not listed as an administrator and it is private, you are not able to post a link to it.

Instructions

Create Event

1. Log on to your Facebook account.

2. Click "Profile" in the upper, right-hand corner of any page to go to your profile.

3. Click "See All" next to "Friends' Events" on the right side of your profile.

4. Select "Create an Event" at the top of the page that opens.

5. Enter the date, time, the event you are planning, location and any other information you want to include.

6. Click "Select Guests" and add anyone you want to invite.

7. Check the box next to "Anyone can view and RSVP (public event)," which allows anyone to add his name to the guest list without an invitation. The event posts to your wall; any friends can see it when you check this box. If you want the guest list to show on the event page, check the second box as well.

8. Click "Create Event."

Post a Link

1. Log on to your Facebook account.

2. Click "Events" in the left column of your home page. Select an event by clicking on it.
