How do I invite people to an event?
To invite people to an event:
- Go to the event
- Press "More" and choose "Invite Friends" (if you've RSVPed "Going", press the "..." button instead)
- Select the people you want to invite, or use the search field to find them by nickname or location (city, state, or country)
- Press the "Invite" button (it shows how many people you selected, for example "Invite 3 People")
Organizers can also invite people from the event's "Manage" page, using "Invite Members" or the "Options" menu.
Who you can invite
- The organizer can invite from three tabs: "Past RSVPs" (friends and followers who RSVPed to your past events), "Friends", and "Followers".
- Co-hosts can invite their friends.
- Attendees who RSVPed "Going" or "Interested" (or "Maybe" on private events) can invite their friends, if the organizer allows it.
Organizers choose who can invite people in the event's "Privacy" tab under "Who can invite people to the event?": "Only the event organizers" or "Attendees and event organizers".
On a Friends event, the organizer's friends can already see the event and RSVP without an invite. Inviting someone who isn't the organizer's friend gives them access to the event.
You can't invite people once the event has started, if it's canceled, or while RSVPs are closed.
Members who hide their location from you don't show up when you search by location.
Who can receive invites
For Public, FetLifers, and Friends events, members choose who can invite them in their privacy settings, under "Who can invite you to an event?": "Friends and People I Follow", "Friends Only", or "No One". Depending on their setting, you may not be able to select someone in the invite window.
Receiving an invite
Event invites show up on your Requests page under "Event Invites". From there you can RSVP or press "Ignore". You can also choose "Always Ignore Invites from" a member, or "ignore all" pending invites at once.
