How to Plan a Facebook Group Event

By Carolyn Abram from Facebook For Dummies, 4th Edition

Your Facebook Group may be centered around an activity, so Facebook makes it easy for people to plan Events for Group members, whether it’s a game of pick-up or a family reunion. To create an Event, follow these steps:

Click the drop-down arrow next to the Gear button on the right side of the Group page and then click the Create an Event link from the list that appears.

This takes you to the Create an Event page
Fill out the Event information.

Give the Event a name, a date and time, and location.
Choose whom you want to invite.

By default, an option to Invite Members of the host Group <Group Name> is checked. You can also select additional friends from your Friend List to invite.
Click Create Event.

All members of your Group are invited to your event. As the Event creator, you are automatically listed as attending. The post appears in members’ News Feeds and notifications. To RSVP to a Group Event, follow these steps:

Click the Event name on the Group Wall.

This takes you to the Event Home page, which shows you more information about the Event, including who has already RSVPed.
Choose I’m Attending, Maybe, or No.

All these options are big blue buttons on the right side of the page.
