How do I do this again? I created an event on my business page, so it's a public event. I invited the host to it. How can I make her an administrator? I can't seem to remember and when I try what I thought it was I was supposed to do, it's not there as an option. I'm wondering if FB changed something, or I'm just missing it somehow.
 
They changed it. Go to "edit event" and there should be a box for it :)

Thanks! I didn't notice that text box with everything else that said "admins". My host just RSVP'd, so now I was able to add her in.
 
I am also trying to figure out how to invite guests to a event. It is not showing the "Invite Guests" button on the event. Maybe I have my page settings wrong. Any help would be appreciated.
 
Amanda, If you are doing this event through your business page, remember that once you make them a moderator, they can send a message to all your fans! Stacielynn, once you RSVP to attend, you'll see an option to add guests. That's what I have my hosts do, RSVP to the event I built & then they can invite their friends/family. ;)

I misspoke in calling it a moderator. I meant making the host an admin of the event. Admins won't have control of my page, right?ETA: I checked my page settings and it only shows me as the admin of the page, no one else. So the event settings is just for the event.
 
Thank you so much Sheila! I have been spending way to much time trying to figure this out and it was so simple.
 
Amanda, it's been a while since I looked at it ... but the last time I did when you try to "message" all the guests on an event created by a business page, it tries to send the message to the fans vs. the people who are invited to the actual event. They may have updated the options, not sure. But it didn't work like an event on my personal page where I could just e-mail the guests of the events. It actually wanted to e-mail my fans instead. So just make sure your host knows if she wants to communicate with her guests to pay attention & not accidentally send the message to all your FB fans by mistake. ;)You're welcome Stacielynn.
