Send a mass friend invite on Facebook for Pages and Events

Many people wonder how they can send a mass invite on Facebook Fan and Event Pages. There is a method you can use involving manipulating the URL code of a page using javascript, but I have honestly never gotten the thing to work.

The method I use is MUCH EASIER and only requires using the Google Chrome browser to install the following plugin from the Chrome Web Store - Facebook Inviter. 



After installing the plugin you can use the Build Audience drop down menu on your Page / Event to locate the Invite Friends function, 









Next you need to set your display parameters for all of your Facebook friends. By default Facebook will only show your recent interactions, so you need to manually switch it to all of your friends. 







Lastly you need to SCROLL TO THE VERY BOTTOM of your friend list BEFORE you hit "toggle all". If you don't scroll to the bottom the tool may not select all of your friends. Additionally if you have over 500 friends it may not select all, because Facebook limits how many invites you can send at once. You may need to run the invite friend function several times, repeating the steps in this guide until all of your friends have been sent invites. 





I hope this guide has helped you. It is a major pain to manually send out friend invites to Pages and Events, and this little plugin makes it so much simpler!
