Event Invitation in Facebook

Indonesia
May 10, 2012 2:36am CST
Event invitation is one of the features in facebook where we can invite people to join some event in real world. It seems now, i have a lot of event invitation. Some are important event ( like marriage, reunion, etc ), but i do found some unimportant event invitation from friend ( like lets Hangout, lets shoping, etc ). Do you ever use facebook event invitation? Do you get invitation a lot? What do you think about this feature? Thanks for sharing...

Off course, not every one is happy with facebook invitations. So that is why i think facebook invitation more useful as a reminder instead of a real invitation. Off course you can use it for non formal event, but for the formal one, it will look unprofessional and the receiver will feel less respected by the invitation.

Well yes, using facebook event invitation is much much cheaper from using the usual invitation. Off course, if you want the person really there, and the event is the formal one, using facebook event invitation is not recommended. It function only as a reminder in a formal event, since it feels contain less respect to the one who got the invitation.

I also get unimportant invitation from facebook friends but mostly, its the important ones. I think, this feature helps set meetings aside from the conventional way. This will also reminds us on the date and time if ever we forget. With the computer age now, this is a good feature. Let's just make sure who we invite, and those that we want to be part of the meeting must be a facebook member. We don't want to follow the story of a graduate who had used this app and had invited all her friends in his post-graduation party. When the event came, she had lot's of guest and the food can't serve them all. :)

Well yes, i think facebook event invitation is more useful as a reminder than the real invitation sinnedsejatnom. Especially for formal meeting like work meeting, marriage or something else like that. Because if you got only facebook invitation, you will be in doubt whether you really got invited or not.

I don't use the feature for myself (haven't had the opportunity yet). But yes, I get a lot of event invitations too! They've been for various functions: birthdays, house warming, reunions, parties . . . just recently we've been invited to a college graduation and party afterwards. Sometimes I'll get some strange invitation - even if it is from a friend - like to have a moment of silence at a particular time, or for events that are totally not local and it's pretty obvious we would not be able to attend. If I were to use it, I would be sure that only the people I sent the event invitation to were able to read it - otherwise other people might get hurt (obviously I couldn't invite everyone on my friends list to something of mine!).

Well thanks for sharing this with all of us, my friend much2 say. And i agree, i know people usually lazy to filter whom they should invite and end up inviting every one in their friendlist. This usually result that we got invitation to a place far far away that they know we could never attended.

Well thanks for sharing my lady 1993. Well when people invite you to an event, and you have something to do ( or just lazy ) and end up cannot go to the event, did you decline the invitation, or simply ignore it? Can you tell us why you decide to do that? Thanks for your answers.

I think it's a good feature on facebook, there are some good events I would have never thought about if I didn't get an invitation. But I agree that it is misused sometimes, and people tend to send invites just to like something.

Well yes my friend, and i think that the way facebeook is. If there is a good feature that facebook have, some people actually like to misuse it. They make silly invitation to non event. I think it is a waste of their time, and also a waste of facebook resources.

this feature greatly facilitates us to invite friends make a pack in the reunion and this feature is very helpful for people who have a distant friend.

Well yes, although it is useful, but getting invitation from unknown, or getting invitation to a non event ( people make silly invitation that has nothing to do with an event ) is quite frustating. Off course if people use it wisely, it can become a very nice features.

i think this is a very good feature about fb. my brother has used the feature a great deal to schedule some of his important events. i never thought about using it as a way to inviting friends to hang out. i must try that with my mom on mother's day.

Well yes, it is really are one of the good feature that facebook has. Although i never use it to invite other, i actually got many event invitation from friend. Off course i agree with you, this kind of event shouldn't be use to invite people just to hang out. It ruin the function it has.

I never use it but yes, sometime I get event invitation like wedding, reunion, gathering, etc. The problems is, I'm totally blur with them cause I don't know who they are.So, usually I will delete every event invitation. Except from my real friends or neighboorhood.

Well if you don't know the person who invite you to an event, then i recommended you to never attend that event Devilova. It could be dangerous since it might be not a real event, and they invite you there just to do bad thing to you. You cannot be to careful in the internet.

While I find the general idea go Favebook Invitations a good idea whe you have a lot of Facebook 'friends' ( I have over 400) they can become a little bit of a nuisance when many people start silly invites or when people who live many miles away offer you an invite as I always feel rather guilty 'declining' invites because of distance!!

Well yes, i agree with you. I actually never decline the invitation or accept it. I only use it as a reminder. And if the invitation is obviously silly like lest hang out or going a very long distance, i usually ignore it. They just invite me because they are lazy to filter whom to invite.

There's some that are not even events, they are like. "Help to raise funds for this girl with -insert weird disease here-!, for each person you invite, Facebook will donate one cent!". These are rubbish! I dont know how people can use a serious disease to fool everyone. Most of the times they are not real cases, just hoaxes.

Well i am agree with you timeout. If it is a event like "Help to raise funds for this girl with -insert weird disease here-! for each person you invite, Facebook will donate one cent!" it must be hoax. Hoax is one of the thing that always spread easily trough social network site.
