Facebook is the most widely used social media platform where you can connect with your family and friends. Facebook also lets you brand your self or the business that you have created. You can create a page or a group for this purpose.

Alongwith that, you can create an event and then invite the members directly from Facebook, which eliminates the need to contact every invitee individually.

In this article, we explain how you can create a group, page and an event on Facebook. Do read the article till the end for a detailed explanation.

Create a group on Facebook

To create a group on Facebook, follow the instructions given below.

  • Now, enter the name of the people that you want to add in your group (this step is optional, and you can add the members later on). You can also write an invitation note by clicking on the page icon at the extreme right.
  • After that, select your group privacy –either public or private. In a public group, the group members and the posts are visible to all while in the private group, the group visibility. Then member identity can be seen only by the group members.
  • If you want that anyone can search the group, then select the Visible option. On the other hand, if you want the group to remain hidden and only the members can find the group, then select the Hidden option.
  • When you are done, click on Create.

Once you have created the group, it is time for you to add the profile as well as the cover picture. You can also add a description of the group to give people a better idea of what the group is all about. Along with that, click on the location option at the right to set the group location.
