Creating an Invite Event on FB - What Wording to Use?

[PamperedK]

Does anyone create the FB event for their hosts to invite their friends? I'd like a little more "control" over what is going out there and I thought it would be nice if I created the event and invited my host so she could invite all her friends.

If you do this, what wording do you use?

I create a general 'event" with the basic info and invite my host. As soon as they reply that they are coming, I make them an admin of the event so they may send it out and tweak it whatever way they want.

I don't have any specific wording that I use

I create an event with the date, time, etc. I use some variation of the following text in the "More Info" section. I'll tone the cheer up and down based on what I know about the host. I invite just the host, and then once they show up in the invite list on the left sidebar, click "See All." Next to your hosts name will be a button that says "Make Admin." Now her friends will see it as an event that she created. I keep myself as Admin also, so I can see when people post on the wall and easily keep tabs on RSVPs. I let my hosts know that they are welcome to change up the language, but this way the specials and website links seem to stay correct. I learned that you can't get much longer than this before the "More Info" section cuts off and only shows a couple of lines of text, meaning guests have to click "see more" to see your website. So watch out for that. Here's the invite from one of my shows now:
"I'm hosting a Pampered Chef Party! I hope you'll be able to come. We'll have snacks try out cool kitchen tools and have a lot of fun! Feel free to invite a friend to bring along, just let me know how many you are bringing!If you'd rather order online, go to: Page Not Found. Once there click "Shop Online." Type "[HOST FIRST NAME" in the first box, "[HOST LAST NAME]" in the second box, hit enter. Then click on my name!If you have any questions on the products or ordering, contact me and I will find out for you!The special for the month of July is that if you spend $60 then you get a FREE 2-qt. Collapsible Serving Bowl, It pops open to serve, collapses to take up less space and includes a lid!

Thank you that's exactly what I was looking for!

I have my host create the event and also make me an Admin so I can keep tabs on the rsvps. I post daily countdown notes about how excited I am about doing their show. Often when people cannot attend, I'll post a note that they can still place an order to help my host reach her sales goal for her wish list. I ALWAYS post the link to my website when I make that reference and brief instructions in making sure my host gets the credit for the sale. I also mention the recipe and ask if anyone has specific tools they'd like me to bring so they can try them out. Just did a show last night that was strictly a Facebook event. So far, her show is at $723!! My host is VERY excited that she is getting over $200 in free products! I just posted a note on her event page that there are still 9 days left in July if anyone wants to do a quickie show!

love it thanks for the ideas! I'm looking forward to trying this to see if it helps increase attendance and outside orders.

Yes, I do them for all my hosts who are on FB & willing to let me do it. That way I can answer questions that the guests post. Here's a current show: Elizabeth's Online Pampered Chef Catalog Show | FacebookETA: It also leads her guests to MY business FB page.

Sheila, I love that it goes back to your page--how do you create an event from a page? I didn't know you could do that? Do you have to have your 25 likes and username? Maybe that's my problem.
