Facebook Event
These mass announcements are often best used for casual parties
of any size. Set up the event one to two weeks before the date.
Pro: The space becomes a forum where guests can comment and
ask questions. Plus, after the party you can share photos. Whether that is a
pro or con depends on the style of party guest you are.
Con: Users who do not keep up regularly on Facebook could miss the
announcement.
Ten Tips for Creating a Facebook Event
Word of Mouth
Is there anything more powerful than word of mouth? That's
debateable, but in the party planning world this style fo invite is
best for informal get togethers. Invite friends a few days before.
Pro: Keeps the tone of the party light and easy. Parlay this into your
decor, food and drink and no one expects anything grand.
Con: Important details are likely to be forgotten - for example the date and
time. This could create a lot of extra work for you by way of answering emails
such as "what time is the party again?"
Let the festivities begin!
