Create a Facebook Event
If you need to organize a public gathering for a social cause, or want to arrange a private get-together for your office employees, Facebook Events allows you to easily create an event page and promote it to everyone that’s on your friends list.
You can gather around all your friends on a single page and update them with the details like the time and location of your event. Creating and managing an event on Facebook is cheap, quick and accessible to all your friends and contacts.
So if you are planning a picnic party, a reunion or a company wide get together, harness the power of Facebook and use it to your advantage with the instructions given in the guide below.
